The reason for McLarens massive penalty was the fact they pleaded not guilty.
They pleaded not guilty because they were not aware of it. It was the drivers, De La Rosa passing info to Alonso he had obtained from Ferrari. It was actually Ron Dennis that picked up the phone to the FIA after that tw@t Alonso tried bribing Dennis with feeding the FIA with this info if he (Alonso) did not get his way within the team. That is why I have lost TOTAL respect for Alonso. Shame because I was watching his progress. Now I can't wait for his downfall.
Ron Dennis did the right thing and got clobbered for it. Renault pulled a massively dangerous stunt and just got a ticking off. Something is not right and it stinks.
Unfortunately, I am a little addicted to F1 purely for the racing. If I wasn't, I would stop watching it because of sh!t like this.
