Don't the decision seem abit harsh with Mclaren losing all manufacturers points? Bit of a Ferrari fan, but a employee with technical data affect a whole company???
It must happen unoffically when engineers decide to swap jobs all the time anyway in any engineering area.
Stripped of points & $100 million dollar fine!!! A employer can't be responsible for a couple of hundred employees surely?

thing is that it was an ex mclaren engineer contracted not to go to another team due to reasons like team secrets. it was the emails he sent to mclaren that did them over i think. the evidence the court has recieved must have been overwhelming for them to use such a big punishment - the manufacturers championship was worth well over the $100m fine to them too. thing is that they can afford it. at least they havent docked points from the drivers because that truly would be unfair.

Hi,
Just been reading on the BBC website. Jackie Stewart say it doesn't add up. He also thinks Ferrari have as hold over the comission and the crime doesn't justify the penalty....

Yes its a very harsh penalty for the crime. Just another hint of the Ferrari dominance over the FIA!

yes - all owned by fiat, but i think formula 1 is far too restrictive anyway - check the speeds of the top le mans cars - less restrictive and it really shows - more exciting too

Ferrari are overrated and need their bottle to shut up.

global warming is BS - its the earths 36000 year cycle thats warming the planet and its set to increse for the next 5000 years or so, then go back towards an ice age. its not the f1teams that suffer - its the lower forms of motorsport where they will be forced to drop drivers

Alonso is a t****r! He said he brought .5 sec a lap to Mclaren! What a crock of shit. Its Driver & engineers at that level bring speed. Bring back Shuey & Brawn! *wink*
