McLaren Fined $100 Million for Spying on Ferrari
September 17th, 2007
The McLaren Formula 1 team was fined $100 million for allegedly using Ferrari’s technical documents which McLaren leaked by some means – aka spying on Ferrari. All of McLaren constructor’s points were taken off as a result of this scandal… Now – F1 is one big drama, as you can see… But $100 fucking million? That’s insane, man… Though, mind you… that’s probably a pocket change for a giant of McLaren ranks, however it’s still hundred mil and that’s a lot no matter how big an entity you are.
Ferrari is McLaren’s main and biggest rival. They are both great teams and McLaren seems to have been deemed world’s best, but after spying on their rival scandal I wander what people are gonna see them as. I don’t know what they were thinking. It’s logical – if you’re spying on your rival, you best make sure you don’t get caught. It must be an overall very good feeling for Ferrari team though – knowing that team McLaren, generally considered the best is spying on you. If your superiors are spying on you, then it clearly proves even they realize that you are better despite their higher rank.
