… it feels good when cheaters get what they deserve?

A while ago I wrote about cheaters, and one of the examples was the Formula1 plot where the McLaren stole Ferrari's secrets.

Today FIA ruled they must pay a £100million pounds fine and are banned from the constructors championship.

These are good and bad news together, because it shows the system still works and also they know how to make a point.

By excluding McLaren from the competition, all squads will learn this is wrong and there is a huge price to pay for it.

It is right because McLaren took advance of Ferrari's work and talent to use the technology on their cars, and by that they got the chance to combine with their own developments and get the best car on the track.

It is wrong because this money will probably go to the already billionaires F1 organizers. Its not like the sport will benefit from it. Its not like it will be given to charity. It is good Mclaren is scarred financially and morally because what they did was utterly wrong. But the money should go to a better cause.

I also think the drivers should be penalized for a numbers of races. You'll never know if they were the best drivers or if they just won because the car was enough to win it by itself.

 

Of course the british press thinks this is all overreacting and exaggerated punishment. But it is because this is about not only a british company but it also holds the only hopeful brit on the grid, so, fair play to them.

 

Me, I don't know how to do it.

I think I have the gene which is responsible to writing the fact you are lying/cheating all over your face so everyone knows about it! ^_^
