What the *#+?|!!%#*&^><+!!!

Insanity !

Well, I have to post because of the INSANE actions of the FIA regarding McLaren.

My thoughts (as stated in a reply to someone who asked what I thought:
(and you must know that I believe the FIA is nothing more than Bernie Ecclestone's enforcer)

1. FIA wanted the red cars to take the manufacturer's championship -- but everyone can count points for themselves.

2. Ron Dennis is thoroughly disliked by Bernie, because he sees BE for what he is ... an untalented 4'8" napoleon who couldn't make it as a driver in F1, and therefore decided to "steal" the F1 business from real racers who didn't care that much about the $$$.

3. $100m is so completely out of reason that it will be reduced significantly ($10-20m ??) -- F1 is not "holier than God", and such an outrageous fine makes FIA / BE look like a bunch of spoiled brats.

4. What most concerns me is if (at a later date) FIA decrees that McLaren cannot compete f/the 2008 championship.

5. My view of Bernie & Max Mosely:
