Imo, the ruling was fair. According to Todt, McLaren has confirmed that it had to install a firewall to prevent information from Stepney from reaching the team in the form of documents. Furthermore, Coughlan has been asked to tell the very same Stepney to stop sending him information, so it seems Mclaren didn't approof of this inside information of Ferrari and tried everything to stop it. What is Todt seriously moaning about? If Mclaren were to blame for this then Ferrari has got the same amount of blame for it since they obviously can't control their own employees too from selling information to it's competitors.
Funny thing is, if Mclaren wanted to use the documents, nobody would have found out about it since the documents would have been kept under strict secret in the Mclaren base so Coulghan couldn't have walked out with the documents to a local printshop and made copies there where the Ferrari documents were discovered. :stongue:

what a chaotic qually, Alonso penalised will start from 6th, its not like it matters cause Mclaren will be stripped of its point gains anyway :wtf: (I wonder if its the drivers points too) Massa down in 14th. Robert's car is acting up :/ This should be an interesting race (rain possible too) :eek:

It's really a harsh punishment for not getting constuctors point as alot of money is involved with each point scored in the constructors championship.

Even fisichella has been given a penalty of 5 places and rumours are nelson jr. has signed a contract for a drivers seat with renault for 2008
So maybe Fisi loses his place at Renault

Its taken a while I know, but here are a couple of F1 vids from Goodwood Festival of Speed (late June). I couldn't upload them until I got home yesterday.
Michael Ammermeuler:
Red Bull F1 car
RB3 doing a burnout
Toyota F1 Engine demonstration:
Its a bit hard to see (and doesn't look as spectacular on vid) but there were big blue flames shooting from the exhausts on the overrun
I've got a couple of others and about a bazillion pictures. They'll come soonish

The team needs to be punished some how. But yeah, the stewards could have fined them heavily instead of forfeiting their constructors points.
