yeah he's a complete nutter eh! I saw him at Goodwood, some of the stuff he does is just insane (did he do the stop with the handstand sideways off the bike?:eek: )
oh yeah, speaking of Goodwood apparently the videos came out crappy when i put them into photobucket, so I re-upped them to Youtube:
I've also got a stack of photos from when I managed to get into the Williams pit tent. You can get up real close to all the cars anyway there, but yeah it was special getting up right close to my favourite team

Mclaren excluded from 2007 constructors championship + 100 million$ fine
I want to know, what have they done to deserve such a huge penalty
I hope its over this time

didn't really follow up on the situation, but how I understood it, one of McLaren's ex-enployees stole two dvd's from Ferrari with secret info on it. At first the FIA didn't succeed in proving this, ... apparently now they did :(

lol, clearly you didn't follow the situation.

$ 100 million is ing massive. Their budget is reported to be around $ 400 million, so that's like paying 1/4 of next year's budget in penalty.
Holy crap, what a stinging blow to Mclaren. :eyes:

100 million - minus whatever they earned in 2007 with all the constructor points
I'm not really sure how much Dennis was involved. From what I read of the FIA paper, it didn't look like much and he must be pretty embarassed for the team. I'm honestly surprised that this went on for so long withing the team itself. It says more for Alonso and PDR's character that they're ok with scamming stuff from competitors. I thought they'd want to win clean. I guess not.
The championship is gone for the year and even if one of his drivers wins it, there will always be a Barry Bonds style asterisk in the record books.

I heard it was more towards 800 million
Anyway, it's alot of money but the punishmentcould'vebeen alot worse (banned for a couple of years).
Haha, crappy pitlane position for McL next year :stongue:

I think that Alonso should bear some of the responsibility for the penalty. Maybe even exclusion from this year's championship.
He was obviously pushing to use the Ferrari information when he should have known it was against the sporting code.
PDR is just the tester, but he should be fined too.
I hope that neither of these drivers land another drive. That's just dirty pool.
