McLaren Formula 1 have been found guilty of spying on Ferrari and punished by the FIA. The team has bees stripped of their points in the constructors championship and fined $100 Million. No, that is not a typo. They have been fined $100 MILLION. That's crazy, or should I say Evil. I wonder who gets the money from the fine? It would be a nice little windfall for the smaller teams or any charity but I suspect it will just get added to the coffers of the FIA.
Ferrari will have now effectively been handed the 2007 constructors championship but if they have any self respect they will take the trophy and hide it at the back of their cabinet, behind all the ones won when Ferrari were the best team in the sport.
Update:
This is what the Formula 1 table now looks like
Former Formula 1 boss (and Irish hero) Eddie Jordan was speaking to the BBC and even he doesn't know where the money is going.

Update:
This is what the Formula 1 table now looks like
- 1st Ferrari: 143 points
- 2nd BMW: 86 pts
- 3rd Renault: 38 pts
- (McLaren: deducted 181 pts)

"To the outside world this is a ridiculous amount of money, and we also need to know where is this money going to?"

Lol, I think if you look at the dates you'll see I must have been reading your mind, not your blog...
Here's where the money goes to: half of it to the other F1 teams, and the other half to help young drivers.
