After a whole day controversy on the McLaren’s ‘spy-scandal’ hearing in Paris, the FIA finally made their wise judgement. McLaren will be excluded from 07 constructor’s championship, stripped of the constructor pts, and fined 100 million dollars as penalty of stealing and using Ferrari’s confidential data. As well, McLaren are also required to submit detailed plans of their 2008 car to the FIA in case of continuing using Ferrari’s confidential data.

Fortunately McLaren’s two drivers will not be stripped of the pts as penalty due to their cooperation with the FIA and handed up the evidence.

The new evidence is the e-mails b/w the McLaren engineers and drivers which shows that they indeed used Ferrari’s confidential data in their cars and racing.

McLaren finally paid for their stupidity, but the driver’s title competition is still b/w the two McLaren’s drivers. I guess, Alonso might turn back to Renault after this terrible year’s co-operation with McLaren, Renault may hand their rookie Kovalainen to Toyota, so what about Toyota’s Ralf Schumacher ? Go to DTM ?

Its really unacceptable for us tifosi that McLaren dominated the whole weekend at Ferrari home Italian Monza grand prix. Ferrari didnt continue their 1-2 wins miracle in Turkey, but McLaren did it. Their drivers Alonso and Hamilton reaped the 1st and 2nd position both in Qualifying and the Sunday race.

As well, Ferrari’s six 1-2 wins for the last 6 GPs promise failed just in the 2nd race. Their cars just lack of speed the whole weekend! Even so, Ferrari still did a great job on Kimi Raikkonen, his one pit-stop strategy was positively brilliant, letting him maintain his 3rd place stably, and unfortunately handed the 2rd place to Hamilton due to the Ferrari car’s low performance. Dont blame it on Kimi, dont blame it on him for wasting the brilliant strategy, its just the car problem.

Massa was the unlucky one again, he DNF because of the car’s rear suspension problem.

I have to say, to be realistic, Ferrari has lost their battle this year. The only chance they can fight back is the new hearing for McLaren’s spy-scandal on Sep 13th. New evidences appeared that McLaren drivers had and shared the Ferrari’s confidential data.

After 2 weeks rest, the Formula race moved to European GP, Nuerburgring Circuit in German. Personally I prefer Hockenheim Circuit to Nuerburgring :D

Alonso luckily grabbed his 1st position from Massa thx to the rain. And Massa finally got 2nd, Red Bull Australian driver Webber won his 1st podium in this season. Both Hamilton and Raikkonen had a bad day, Hamilton only managed to get 9th, and Raikkonen DNF due to hydraulic pressure problem of his car.

I really love this victory pose of Kimi, the whole Britain is looking forward to their home hero Hamilton winning this race. But Kimi screwed up the young British black boy and McLaren’s good dream. He won the F1 2007 British Grand Prix!

After three sequential miserable races, the Ferrari finally strikes back! The red team took their first 1-2 win at Magny-Cours Circuit de French Grand Prix this season.Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen took 1st and his Brazilian teammate Felipe Massa took 2nd, McLaren-Mercedes British driver Hamilton took 3rd.

The Ferrari cars look quite competitive this weekend, they set the fastest lap in two of the three practices. Even McLaren-Mercedes driver Alonso had to admit their cars are so strong as Ferrari. So the McLaren decided to use three pitstop strategy for their young driver Hamilton. Their cars are very light on fuel, that giving the Ferrari the chance to pull away the gap.
