Jean Todt 4 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 I am just wondering what will happen to the innocent drivers (is innocent an appropriate word for guys like FA ..Kidn) if Mclaren are suspended for the rest of the season. Damn it, where are the official Ferrari fan club entry forms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
angie 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 Well i hope nothing!the drivers shouldn't be punished for this!they just drive the car and i'm sure even if the team knew what was going on ,they wouldn't inform the drivers about it!on the other hand ,they may have had an unfair advantage over the other drivers -for example-the ferrari ones...So...I really don't know...

Fed up 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 I suspect a similar ban to that dished out to Honda or a suspension from the WCC, leaving the WDC as is. Either way, I expect a draconian sanction as it would be impossible to prove that the team didn't benefit for information held by their chief designer for 3 months or so.

mikathegreat2 2 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 Don't know what'll happen buyt it'll be funny to see McLaren & Ferrari banned when they're the 12 teams & havethe 4 drivers that are battling for the drivers & constructors titles ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quiet One 15 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 That's the idea. First, McLaren and its drivers get banned. Ditto for Ferrari. Then, BMW gets banned once Nintendo gets an anonymous mail informing them about Thiessen's copyright infingement on their new game "Mario's Wind Tunnel." Last, but not least, you will see a miraculous Renault rising from its ashes while a new pilot, who will look just like Fernando Alonso except this one has a moustache and glasses a la Groucho Marx, wins every race for the French team!

Eric 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 In a strange turn of events: McLaren won't get banned, but will need to design a new car. They won't have enough time, so they will dig up a Ford Pinto, in bright teal. Lewis and Fred will co-drive it, and will crash out every race fighting over who scores the points. Takuma Sato will win the WDC in a thrilling battle with Scott Speed, Adrian Sutil, and Eric Lewis. -Eric Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 In reality, the FIA will make up a new charge to find them guilty of, one that seems insignificant on the surface, but before you know it they'll be punished brutally to make an example to anyone else. The following evening we will see smokey grey clouds, is it global warming? No! It's everyone rushing to dispose of any unlawfully obtained documents alike to the rush of teams making changes to their fuel tanks after Honda got crucified for something all teams will and have done. Cheat. Andres - the problem is, with a ban, previous points will stand, Renault won't be able to make up the deficit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda McFly 1 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 I hope Mclaren proves its innocence! First off, obviously, the FIA can pretty much do what it wants in terms of sanctions, punishments, whatever. My question is about the criminal proceedings, if any ... In England or Italy (actually, two questions. First question, where is the criminal proceeding being tried?) is the burden of proof on the prosecution or the defense? Just curious ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard Nick Fry being caught with Super Aguri's drawings (Last year's Honda ), and the doccuments acquired by Super Aguri from honda has been neatly arranged and cut, and are now being used by SA personals as toilet papers.

Erinnn 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2007 Oh boy. Big risk. Me talking about F1. This is gunna make me look dumb! I think they will both stay. They have no reason to leave. They're doing well. Eric's telling me to say that Fernando will go to Renault, but I don't think they're doing well enough. He won't leave unless he can be given a better situation than McLaren, and I don't think he will be given one there. But what do I know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
