McLaren F1 stripped of all points

[Holger]

I just heard that McLaren F1 was stripped of all points for the F1 WC and that they have to pay 100 Million Dollars to FIA for the spy affaire McLaren - Ferrari!

100 Million Dollars - unbelievable!

Yes, I read about it and the punishment seems too hard but it affect no one as is poor.

This has been an interesting story to follow, and I dont think it is completely over yet. Remember that in July, the World Motor Sport Council found no reason to penalize the team. It seems strange to me that the WMSC stripped McLaren of all constructor points which "gave" Ferrari the constructors title, but did not take the drivers points. That Alonso and de la Rosa (I know he doesnt get any points) volunteered that they had files on their computers would seem to be enough reason to do so. So far there seem to be no "issues" with Hamilton, but that could change at any time.

I offer you my prediction of what may happen in the end:

With only three races to go, wouldnt it be a good time to start studying for the next season?

Before the end of the season; I would expect Fernando to incurr some sort of personal penalty, then announcing that he will drive for Ferrari in 2008.

Is anyone else thinking something similar?

All the best,

What ever happens: Mclaren need to pull there socks up and take full control of there drivers.

On a lighter note

I read in the local press: Some Gentelman placed a bet a while ago on Hamilton winning the F1 crown withing 10 years. (Unknown up and coming driver back then)
Well he is looking at £10K if he wins

£100 bet: 100/1 odds
