    Last year, McLaren Mercedes was fined $100,000,000 for lying and cheating. In the first race of this year, McLaren-Mercedes lied again. Is there a pattern here from Mercedes? Maybe it is just normal for Mercedes to lie and cheat.

    Nah, it's just a factor of pro sports.

    You can't tell me the other teams don't use a little subterfuge now and then.

    Just ask the New England Patriots.

    If this were baseball, they would probably give the kid a Cy Young award.

    It's McLaren, not Mercedes, IMO, that's doing the cheating, even though they do supply the engines.

    Actually it was 2007, not last year.

    McLaren clearly has an ethics problem. They have learned zero from Stepneygate and the FIA should come down HARD on them. Lying to the stewards is about the worst you can do.
