Exclamation McLaren out of the Championship

http://planetf1.com/story/0,18954,3213_2726904,00.html

This absolutely sucks, but at least they're not out next year too. I'm glad Lewis and Alfonslow can keep going.

McLaren out of Constructors, but drivers safe
Thursday 13th September 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.

Do they have any reason to go on this season other than for the drivers?

This is great news for Ferrari, but the win will be kind of tainted. That means BMW's likely going to be second place in the constructors' .

The McLaren team really hasn't been my favorite anyways.
