They are trying to prove a point.
If it had happened in say the 3rd race of the season and the two cars were both excluded then the drivers would both lose the points. why should it be different now?
The FIA have made a rod for thier own back, they started the war and McLaren are now seeking clarfication.
Whatever the outcome, should a car be found to be outside the rules next year then the FIA will find it very hard to deduct points if they don't this time.
I think this years title is so tainted it should be null and void anyway, Ferrari got away with running a dodgey car in the first race, if that had been dealt with properly at the time I doubt we would be at the point we are now.

I agree with Nordic, either there are rules that are followed or there arent. It shouldnt make any difference if it changes the title result or not - rules should be applied equally to all teams at all races.
Hammie wouldnt enjoy the victory anyway under these circumstances - but then how could Kimi either.

If I were Ron Dennis, and $100mil out of pocket, I'd go for it
Bernie is down a blind alley, its time for him to do the decent thing.
This is more fun than the races

Ecclestone has one goal in life and it ain't F1. He want's to be the richest in at least the UK.
So, he can't retire just yet.
He is just a poisoned dwarf, much like the 'Eccles' in the Goon Show which F1 has been approaching rapidly with Alonso acting 'the Phanton Pancake Thrower'.

IMO the whole Stepneygate episode is just stupid, and much ado about nothing. Teams, and designers have been ripping each other off for decades. Does anyone seriously think Ross Brawn or Rory Byrne didn't bring any Bennetton secrets with them to Ferrari when they jumped ship? Or Adrian Newey when he left Williams to join McLaren? Mario Andretti said that in the pitlane at Zolder in 1978 they had to pull a very illustrious designer right out from under their car. This stuff has been going on for entire the history of the sport. This is another case of the sport being dumbed down.

Honda had better watch themselves next year, or is Brawn (A magnificent name for one that looks so piggy don't you think) going to be brainwashed / hypnotised?

Presumably connected to the appearance of the Tyrrell 009 the following year that had more than a passing resemblance to the Lotus 79..? |
