Wait....
There is a rumour that McLaren have been chucked out of this year's championship and next year's too but it's untrue. As of now 6.28pm Belgian time, there is no word of a decision yet...we are waiting. It is getting hot in the press room at Spa, the air-con is not working and the fire alarm keeps going off. Apart from that, everything is fine...
If they are chucked out, can the drivers still race for another team this year? If so, what odds that Alonso will quickly find himself in a Renault?

I am suffering but I do not think MacLaren did tricks.
It is quite rare the history about the photocopies. They use last tecnology like DVD, Pen Drive, etc and he went to make them to a shop.
¿?
An Spaniard.

nearlly cried reading the breaking news in F1-Live.com. Hope its untrue...this is too much. F1's been through alot in the past decade, and simply chucking out a team without solid basis is NO Go! Its not game over yet, the fans will stand united.
Was Stepney and Coughlan even there? They are pivotal in this argument. Independent commissions are supposed to be for the interest of the sports not being a Ferrari International Assistant (FIA).
Is there even a possibility of Ron coming back in Team Mercedes?

Frankly, this whole thing started to look ominous to me when I heard that the police had recovered files from Stepney's computers and sent them to the FIA.
Look for sponsors to run like rats if the verdict is against McLaren. That will hurt worse than anything else, and not just McLaren!
You may be about to see the birth of Team Mercedes....they'll be back next year.
