"McLaren have been excluded from the 2007 constructors’ championship and fined US$100 million following Thursday’s FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) hearing in Paris. Drivers Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton have not been penalized and are free to continue their fight for the drivers' title.

"The WMSC have stripped Vodafone McLaren Mercedes of all constructor points in the 2007 FIA Formula One world championship and the team can score no points for the remainder of the season,” said an FIA statement.

"Furthermore, the team will pay a fine equal to $100m, less the FOM (Formula One Management) income lost as a result of the points deduction.”

The penalty follows McLaren’s admission that the team was in breach of the International Sporting Code through their possession of confidential technical data belonging to rivals Ferrari, who are now all but assured of the 2007 constructors’ title.

The FIA will explain the reasons behind the Council's decision on Friday."

Mclaren breached Article 151c of the International Sporting Code.

Realistic or what ? Your thoughts ? 

good solution,nice punishment, drivers should have ben punished 2.

well don't listen 2 me am an ferrari fanboy;)

thank god the FIA didn't listen to you. Would've made F1 even more boring.

I think that drivers should have got punishment too. It is no't fair that drivers can keep points what they have got with illegal car.

i just realised!! spyker won't be the last team OMG haha

 Edit : even though the team is punished for having confidential documents of ferrari it doesn't mean their car is illegal

Ouch. o_O

Fortunately the star drivers from Finland left McLaren ages ago. Actually it seems Räikkönen left for Ferrari (the now sure-to-win rival of the offending party), so I suppose this is good news in a way.

Does this mean McLaren is dropping out, or do they have a chance next season? I don't really know squat about formula 1.

Suddenly their car hasn't got broken a single race and example renault suffer change of tyres (michelin->benetton) but mclaren not. That is too weird....

Pure BULLSHIET

the bs ferrari favoritism still alive and well.

life time supporter of the F1 ferrari team!

it's just not the same with no schumi..

It's ridiculous IMO, if this was Super aguri and Spyker, then no one would care, (in Bernie Ecclestone's words) they should have just fined them, IMO. Though it's perfectly right the drivers didn't get punished, after all they had nothing to do with the incident.
