Doubt Mclaren will get thrown out. Toyota admitted to integrating Ferarri code into their software packages and didn't get thrown out.

I tell you - the way the FIA decides what penalty should be given for any infraction is by drawing penalties from a hat!

^ i thought it was a bit of a bonzai move at the time.
LH was was faster anyway, but he came from a long way back to poke his nose in there on that particular attempt.
he would've got him the next lap anyway, without any drama.

LH made him look really bad yesterday.

I would ditch FM and keep KR for FA. I think the fact that KR was the one who brought points home even after the accident once again this guy is good, maybe a nit unlucky, but the iceman still looks to be more mature and more able to get the job done than emotional rollercoaster FM.
BTW- FA for Ferrari would make me a very, very happy camper!!!

An Italian journalist, who claimed he had evidence of the Fernando Alonso/Pedro de la Rosa's email that has landed McLaren in hot water, has confessed to making up the quotes.
Pino Allievi, a journalist working for the Gazzetta dello Sport, wrote an article last week that included an extract of the email conversation between Alonso and de la Rosa.
In it, he claimed the de la Rosa revealed he knew how Ferrari got the Bridgestone tyres to work so well after being told by suspended McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan, who in turn had obtained the information from sacked Ferrari mechanic Nigel Stepney.
However, Allievi has now confessed to concocting the quotes, saying that he did insist that the quotes were 'hypothetical' in their nature.
He told the Associated Press: "I made a free interpretation of what might have been said in the email."
McLaren are set to face the World Motor Sport Council later this week, during which the true nature of that email is reportedly the FIA's key to nailing McLaren
