McLaren Fined - Drivers OK

[eyeswithoutaface]

apparently it was proved that they DIDNT use any of the leaked technology, they had investigators in the pit checking the cars at last weeks race.

and i'd say the fine is alot more important than some people think, regardless of Ron Dennis's earnings, the costs are going to add up, and McLaren will more than feel the pinch. Winning the constructors championship alone brings in 100m, and they pay their drivers out of this money too its claimed. So already they are getting fined 50 million pound, have lost the chance to gain a potential 100m at the end of the season (and lets face it they had a brilliant chance of winning that) and also they have to find another 30 million to pay their drivers now, plus the fact all this bad publicity may have a knock on effect with their sponsors and future sponsors, its certainly not looking good, and i dont think Ron Dennis will personally foot the bill, regardless of how much he earns.

This really is not good for McLaren, and there is still talk of not allowing them to take part in the championship for 2 seasons after this season has finished, which would probably put them out of business

madness. I do think there is something we are not being told though, because similiar cases have been totally ignored by the F1 body in the past whilst still making it to court, there was incident with Toyota a couple of years ago that went to court but they didnt get punished at all.

have to wait and see innit
