FIA Grand Prix (Mclaren hearing) ****spoilers*****

EXACTLY! W/o docs, we don't know what kind of car MM would have had.

 

the story will be on CNN shortly. 12:17 pm EDT.

 

What has this got to do with Alonso? As much as I dislike him I think it is a bit unfair to compare him to this situation. He was never in such a hypothetical scenario to suggest that Lewis would be as bad as him should LH has the above train of thought.

 

Clarification: WMSC yet to decide on verdict

By Steve Cooper Thursday, September 13th 2007, 15:09 GMT


The World Motor Sport Council has yet to agree on a final verdict, despite our earlier newsflash suggesting otherwise.

Sources have told autosport.com one of the options currently reviewed is to exclude McLaren from both the 2007 and 2008 championship - in line with the World Motor Sport Council's decision in July.

However the FIA said no decision has yet been made, although a verdict is expected imminently.

 

I would really like that all the evidence is disclosed. This is the harshest penalty ever given by the FIA in its entire history. So, I hope the punishment fits the crime. I would expect nothing else other than clear proof that McLaren used the Ferrari info in developing their car which made it as fast as it is. Thats a punishment that fits.

Sadly, I fear Mosley has a woody for Ron Dennis and this was his big chance to deck him with a sledgehammer. This will likely play out in legal courts for months and months.

McLaren has always been Ferraris chief rival in F1. If they are removed from the competition in this way, it is a VERY dark day for the sport. Very dark indeed. McLaren is a great competitor with great talent and lots of great people. This could mean 1000 men and women losing their jobs, and McLaren as an F1 brand disappearing.

How can any of you celebrate that? Its sad for the whole sport.

 

planet-f1 just changed their headline... it now reads 'Breaking News: World Council Propose That McLaren Are Banned In 2007 & 2008'

 

Thats what I say. It pays to stay a 'one man' show, you avoid all of this!

 

Strange, I got 404 when clicking on it. Now it works again.

 

That would be a HUGE mistake!

 

can I have an electrode?...

 

They're getting hit left & right!

 

Typical FIA morons. Can't even get a press release correct.
Next thing you know they will be finding people guilty and then not doing anything to punish them....

 

Is it my computer or are the F-1 sites really slow today?

 

I'd rather see them out for 6 races than docking all WCC points and letting Alonso and Hamilton race....

 

+1

I can see Dave Richards buying Lucifers palace in Woking if this is the outcome - But, it does seem that the reports have been "exaggerated" at this time.

punishment has not been decided but proposed, Mclaren will probably still race this wk end and there can be an appeal but not by Mac the british sports council I think..

 

almost every F1 site, including http://www.totalf1.com/ which carries every other site out there, is crashing.

not to mention, FChat is as slow as superaguri

 

Even F-chat is slowing up w/all the hits....Blick was the first to report, they might just be the one to watch.

 

It's the sites - probably thousands, if not millions, are hitting the reload button every 30s. Heavy traffic.

 

Yeah, I noticed that....its getting annoying.

 

So if McLaren is not eligible for constructors points, how hard will the team work for the drivers if they are still racing?
