Well alledgedly later on Friday, the findings of the council will be published, so we'll see precisely what they're accused of doing wrong. Jackie Stewart has only summed it up perfectly, if the only wrongdoings are that outed to the media so far, this £50 million fine is an absolute and complete nonsense. There must be more to it. Remember here by the way it's a Ferrari employee who gave a McClaren employee the information. Now McClarens defence is that while they acknowledge the employee had the information, none of it was used on the design of this years car. There has to be damning evidence that this McClaren claim is not true for this punishment to have been cast down. It's meant to be the case that teams are responsible for all their employees actions, and this makes McClaren guily. Well, aren't Ferrari responsible for their employee who gave their information away?
Should also be pointed out that anytime a mechanic moves teams, he gives away the secrets of the last team he's been at. Nothing underhand about it, just a fact of life. That's Formula 1
Unless it's Ferrari of course!
