Wonder, how many of you guys follow F1, but I'm (or used to be) a fan of it since Senna's days. However I'm wholeheartedly disappointed now, what's happening in this once glorious sport. :(
Now it seems, and rumoured that the great and promising rookie, Lewis Hamilton, and his 2-times WDC Fernando Alonso will be excluded from the championship of this year and even form next year (due to McLaren spying), but FIA is yet to decide. Awful. Th races are boring, and we see this political nonsense and travesty instead. :confused:

Drivers weren't punished, only the team lost the constructor points. This is a rather good news in a very bad story.

Still, it proves that Ferrari has way too much influence over the FIA. They couldn't win the constructors title on the track so they had to win them it in a courtroom.

I used to like Ferrari between 96 and 2001, and cheered for them when Schumacher won his first two titles with them. But something went wrong and the team became the most arrogant and antipathetic one, who always fink on the rival when they are stronger then Ferrari. Ban the Mac, since their drivers outclassed the Ferrari's overrated pairing and walked away with the WCC. Ban the mass dampers, to ruin Renault's superiority. Ban the Michelins when they were better than Bridgestones. Ban the berillium enginges, because it helps the rival. That really makes me sick.:shame:

Being in possesion of a few papers is nothing compared to driving around at high speeds in downtown Paris.
