MrJibbles Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 McLaren have reportedly been excluded from the 2007 and 2008 Formula One World Championships.According to www.planetf1.com, the Woking team, who faced the FIA's World Motor Sport Council for the second time in Paris on Thursday after new evidence came to light, were found guilty of using Ferrari technical information in this year's championship.The punishment is their exclusion from this year and next year's World Championships - although it remains unclear whether this means the drivers' and/or constructors' championship.If the former is indeed the case, then the sanction will mean that Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, currently first and second in the drivers' championship, will have their points totals wiped.More to follow...

MrJibbles Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 McLaren have been booted out of this year's Constructors' Championship, however, their drivers are free to race for the World title.That was the verdict handed down by the FIA's World Motor Sport Council following today's Stepneygate hearing in Paris.McLaren were called to appear before the WMSC for the second time after new evidence came to light, suggesting that McLaren had made use of the Ferrari documents they were previously found guilty of being in possession of.After hours of deliberation, the WMSC ruled that McLaren were to be stripped off their 2007 Constructors' Championship points as well as fined $100m - a record amount in F1.The final part of the ruling is that the team's 2008 cars will be subject to examinations before racing next season.However, on the upside, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso will face no points-penalties and will be allowed to fight for this year's Drivers' Championship title.Hamilton is leading the battle on 92 points, three ahead of Alonso.
