in the name of a saving this championship and damage control for f1's image 1-mclaren, alonzo and hamilton lose points so that they are even with sf kimi and filipe 2-mclaren hand over equivilant info on their car and team that caughlin was caught with to ferrari - even steven 3- caughlin and all others involved including whoever at ferrari is involved baned from f1 for a period of time 3-mclaren pays all costs incured to ferrari and fia 4-ron dennis to apologise to ferrari ,all other f1 teams and all f1 fans for his and actions of some of his team 5-ron dennis is to be hooked up to a lie detector test during interviews ! optional -ron dennis to take some sportsmanship lessons from school children
this thread must be sponsored by the drug addicts association - cos those conclusions are ridiculous.
of course it is Nick, we all know it would be pointless putting the devil on a lie detector or expecting kids to waste their time with RD
Will? Yeah right. "Sorry" isn't even in that man's vocabulary. He would be eaten alive before he apologised to Ferrari.
i would love to see him say "sorry" fo Ferrari But i dont see it happenen!!!!! Looks like we all just have to wait and see
Im sure if FIA has naked grid girls for the rest of the season nobody will even remember about this event.
Unfortunately there aren't more teams in the running for the championship. If there were I wouldn't feel as reserved about punishing McLaren. Even if they did do highly unsportsmanlike/illegal things I'd rather see a legitimate fight for the title with Ferrari winning instead of Kimi and Felipe walking away with it unchallenged.
There is still a good chance that Kimi will clinch this title. If the FIA takes away points from Alonso and Hami, they effectively devalue Kimi's title. Everybody will look at him as a non worthy champion. OTOH if they don't intervene AND Kimi bags the title, he'll look like a super hero. Some people on here want a Ferrari Champion at all cost. I want a worthy world champion.
It's a catch 22 and that's what sucks. If it is found that McLaren broke the rules they should be punished, but punishing McLaren hurts our credibility for winning the championship as much as it hurts them losing it.
They could take manufactures points and not drivers points....that would hurt the right people. Or maybe just a big fine.
It sounds kind of right when you first hear it - but when you think about it more, there is a problem...if the driver's points are won with an unfair car, how can they be legitimized? You do understand that the case might be made that Hamilton is getting the true raw deal here - win or lose, everybody will say he did it for a team that cheated and with an unfair advantage. But, I would not at all be surprised to see the FIA do something like what he said...most probably, the big fine. Politically, I don't see them hurting Hamilton's points.
look guys whether u like McLaren and Ron Dennis or loath one or both the simple facts that are KNOWN atm include one very important one that ppl seem to be forgetting or deliberately overlooking. the documents seem to have been found at a mclaren employees house - NOT the mclaren factory. now taking this as a known fact we also know that if those docs were going to be used by mclaren then they would NEED to be at the factory, not an employees house. unless more info comes to light it really does look like RD is innocent here.
