Mclaren face possible ban for 2007 & 2008!! (Edit: Now confirmed)

aseem · 13th September 2007, 19:59

McLaren were cleared on Thursday by Formula One's governing body, the FIA, of any wrongdoing in the espionage affair that has engulfed the sport this season. This decision was taken today in Paris in the F1 Word Council Meet. Reasons sited were lack of sufficient evidence to prove they had knowledge or taken advantage of the information at hand.

Important to note that only Alonso was not present in this meet, both Ron and Rookie Hamilton were seen at the even.

This is great news. After the 1-2 finish in Monza. This will give a great boost for the Mclaren team.

Sorry to kill the happy news guys... thats the news from the first hearing.
See the date on the article it is 26th July... the current hearing is still going on...

tifosikrishna · 13th September 2007, 20:56

thats what i was wondering when i saw the title of the thread.
i have been sifting through various news sites and searching Google news for the past one hour to eagerly know the outcome and still its not out.

all i know is ross brawn, hamilton, de la rosa are some of few notable names attending the case.

merve_extreme · 13th September 2007, 21:36

well its still unconfirmed but planet-f1,autosport and f1racing are carrying the news,most likely to be true.

edit.now autosport has taken out the headline,dont know whats going on???

edit2:F1-live is now carrying the news that Mcalren have been disqualified.

This is going to be one hot thread.

Rtech · 13th September 2007, 21:47

i can't believe that they can ban a team like mclaren for 2 years! Lets see what the real story is...

speedzak · 13th September 2007, 21:58

Autosport is changing it's page every minute or so. And It's returning time out errors too.
Many things are happening at one go. It seems there're going to be some very happy faces in few hours.
