I'm shocked and unhappy about the decision. That said I don't think I'd be happy whatever the decision was. The problem is that if somebody breaks the rules they should be penalised, however espionage is something that has gone on in F1 before, and will continue to go on...so why is it only this case that gets public limelight? And why is it only this case where a punishment has actually been handed out.

The link above shows Jackie Stewarts comments on the matter. I have refrained thus far of accusing the FIA of being biased towards Ferrari (A little bit of me thinks that because of the
severity of the punishment, not the fact that they have been punished)
The reason I'll hold my tongue - for now (lol!) - is that the serverity of this punishment is so draconian, and so unprecidented that the surely MUST be something
much more to this than we are aware of atm. I'll wait till the FIA publishes it findings.
If Mclaren are simply guilty of spying and being in possesion of Ferrari documents, then this punishment is totally out of proportion and damned right biased to Ferrari (as other teams have spied, been caught spying, and not fined to this degree) REGARDLESS of who gave who, or who got what and how. There must be more to this than meets the eye.
Silence is golden when you don't know a good answer.
