It just goes to show that sponsorship plays a big part in F1 but, I don't agree with sponsors meddling in team affairs.

Off course the sponsor play a big part, where else would the teams get the /$ required to go racing, but is it not the team principals decision at the end of the day if he want the sponsor to run the team or if he wants to run the team?

If Ron Dennis is such a 'straight down the middle' type of guy should he even be considering the course of action he is reported to be considering taking?

IF McLaren are allowed to race in 2008 - then they are favourites for the Constructors, so obviously one of their drivers should be Champion.

you can make up your own mind which one -

You should KNOW if they are going to be allowed to race next year shouldn't you?....

In the light of the recent Mclaren statement about the Ferrari info being circulated more widely in the Mclaren camp than the first admitted , IMO they should be kicked right out for another year at least...... the cheating little bast$%ds.

In any other sport anyone found cheating would suffer the same.

It seems Lewis Hamilton has a problem regulating speed in a car whether it be on or off the circuit.
