This "probe" will go nowhere! No one will get punished, no points will be docked, nothing will come of this.

F1, as a business, wants to have Hamilton win the title. Bernie's statements that the drivers will not be docked points, because they didn't know about the spy scandal, is meant to protect the top asset in F1, in my opinion. So many teams have used illegal fuel, illegal parts in the past, allegedly without the driver "knowing". Still, the drivers were docked points. They are of course different infractions, but I just want to question why Bernie supposedly sounds so quick in distancing the drivers from the teams.

I always hated Mclaren, but this episode makes me question my support for Ferrari as well. Stepney was an important member of the team. He got hurt in a pitstop and worked for them many years. I still think Ferrari forced out Schumacher for overrated Kimi. Perhaps Ferrari doesn't deserve to be portrayed as a victim.
