following abstract from F1:"McLaren have been excluded from the 2007 constructors’ championship and fined US$100 million following Thursday’s FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) hearing in Paris. Drivers Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton have not been penalized and are free to continue their fight for the drivers' title.The penalty follows McLaren’s admission that the team was in breach of the International Sporting Code through their possession of confidential technical data belonging to rivals Ferrari, who are now all but assured of the 2007 constructors’ title.McLaren are also required to submit detailed plans of their 2008 car to the FIA, who warned that it could apply further sanctions relating to next season should any irregularities be found in the car’s design.At July’s original hearing, the Council opted not to punish McLaren as it decided there was no proof that the Ferrari data had been used. Thursday’s second hearing followed the emergence of new evidence and the FIA’s request for McLaren’s drivers to submit any information they had that might be relevant to the case.The FIA will explain the reasons behind the Council's decision on Friday, after which McLaren will decide whether or not to appeal."
Personal opinion:
I think that they deserved to be fined but tt's such a huge amount.. $100M lei .. wonder what can i do with so much $$$.. in possession of confidential technical data belonging to rival Ferrari.. i know it's a long running rivalry, but u don't do this kind of things to edge out your opponent, despicable la!! well, they are out of the constructors championship but their drivers r still in e running for the championship!!??!! how can tt possibly be? they should be dock off their points as well n fight for nothing this season !!!!!
Lastly i also think that McLaren should be banned which were stated in the initial reports tt they might be banned for 2years,but i don't think it will happen, they will make more losses n i just hope Ferrari will edge out above them !!
