For F1's sake, I hope McLaren really, really dropped the bomb. B/c if the case does not have clear-cut evidence -- I'm calling consipiracy.
The FIA=Ferrari International Assistance conspiracy?

Had RD known about this, considering all that at is stake with his sponsors, there is no way he would've allowed poached data to float around McLaren. If he did, they deserve everything they get...but...if not, i don't think it's fair that a few rogue individuals from seperate teams who possessed data to bring down a whole organization...

What a bad time for F1...

So let me see...McLaren was found to have used other people's IP in some fashion, the drivers also had knowledge of that IP, yet the driver's keep their points...



FIA makes zero sense, but I am not surprised......

Simple little fact that speaks volumes to me.

Ferrari fired Nigel Stephany, and last I heard McLaren had only suspended Mike Coughlan.

I think a big part of today's 166-pages of new evidence is the reported high volume of phone calls still going to Coughlan from McLaren.
