I've come across the news that the McLaren team in the Formula One Championship has been penalized for owning and attempted to use the secret information that is belong to the Ferrari, and as of this, McLaren has been judged that its championship constructor points accumulated this year will be forfeited, following races also face the same destiny, and has been fined $100 millions for this illegal act. However, both the drivers, Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, will maintain their points and did not affect their standing in the driver championship.
It was quite a shock to me that the fine was such a huge amount, it's $100 millions!! Can McLaren bear this kind of penalty? How will McLaren respond to this judgement? By the way the Ferrari is satisfied with the judgement.
