Probably it is not wise, then, to let go employees who has intimate knowledge of the car. So ex-Ferrari and current McLaren employees made some strides. Whether they used Ferrari material - that is a real questions. Ferrari certainly wants to think so to justify slippage to the second place. But did it happen? I don't think so, they are not that stupid, and this is what was determined a few days ago, clearing McLaren of any wrongdoing. Such decision reversal is perplexing.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[UAW]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2007 5:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on "Stepneygate" verdict reached: McLaren stripped of '07  championship points, fined $100 million]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/13/mclaren-spygate-verdict-reached-team-stripped-of-07-champio/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/13/mclaren-spygate-verdict-reached-team-stripped-of-07-champio/</guid><description><![CDATA[Considering this has happened before where Ferrari were caught trying to sell its confidential dossier to Toyota for its F1 team and Ferrari didn't even get a slap on the wrist makes me think that either Ferrari is resorting to dirty tactics to win either the constructors' trophy or the drivers' trophy or that the World Motorsport Council is sat in Ferrari's back pocket]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2007 5:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on "Stepneygate" verdict reached: McLaren stripped of '07  championship points, fined $100 million]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/13/mclaren-spygate-verdict-reached-team-stripped-of-07-champio/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/13/mclaren-spygate-verdict-reached-team-stripped-of-07-champio/</guid><description><![CDATA["World Motorsport Council is sat in Ferrari's back pocket"<br><br>A good number of the FIA are connected in someway to Ferrari.

This year's championship needs to have an asterick next to it.  (*- not really won by beating McLaren).
