McLaren loses all its champ points and fined in 100million!!

[Nortad]

Crime doesnt pay!!! Hahahhaha!

McLaren was considered guilty yesterday after the day long hearing at the FIA counsil in paris and they are gonna loose all their championship points and be finned in 100million dollars.

The drivers are gonna keep their points in te drivers championship, wich I think they shouldnt since they were the ones most favoured by the information aquired from Ferrari giving them an illegal edge over their opponents.

And more, next season McLaren will have to declare all the tecnical aspects of their car before the season starts, so that the FIA can determine if their are still using intel from Ferrari.

But geez, 100mil!! Only McLaren and Ferrari could afford an amount like that, maybe toyota or Bmw too, but any other team, would be bust x1000

Heres a little idea of how much money they´ve got:

Newman-Haas racing team anual budget - 20million

McLaren-Mercedes main motorhome costs - 20million

Newman-haas?

[Nortad]

winning team from the champ car and irl series in the us

they must have done some research of a good maximum fine

[/NDA]

if they can't ever use technology they could eventually have made down the road it's BS. not saying that it was right but it sure aint the first and last time... plus the drivers keeping them points makes no sense. and who gets those 100 millions?!

some maclaren driver back from the 80s said that back in those days mclaren had also acess to ferrari intel, and that there was even something like a "ferrari bible" or book or something, so yeah, this kinda of stuff isnt unknown, but never in such proportions
