Yes ladies and gentlemen, after an exciting, action-packed week chocked full of gargantuan press releases and a few hundred photos, regular programming has again commenced; and as my eloquent title has already alluded we’re beginning the day with news of a rather unsavory sort. It turns out, after a day-long meeting yesterday, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) has just stripped the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1 team of all points earned in this year’s constructor’s standings, following findings that the team was in possession of technical documents acquired from Ferrari. In addition, the FIA also imposed a staggering fine of $100 million against the McLaren Mercedes team, but at this point no additional penalties were given (meaning the team can continue competing in the remainder of the season’s races, and both team drivers Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso will retain their individual points).
