that surely would be a huge penalty clearly McLaren have done something rather bad, the express is a good news paper and i dont belive would print huge stories like this without and substance, the law suit for them would be to big lol.

I dont know what has gone on nun of us do, we really need some answers.

McLaren will not be kicked out. It is all media hype. They can't afford to kick McLaren out anyways. Means if McLaren goes there will be less than 10 teams on the grid and under 20 cars. I don't think so.

Hamilton is getting slated by the media here

Hey Kiki wazz up girl? Back to the topic the ramifications to F1 as a whole will be permanently tarnished if McLaren, one of the greatest teams ever, are kicked out. Max has got to be involved some how!

McLaren the second greatest team ever. A great achievement though because it is not possible to achieve greater than 2nd greatest by McLaren nor anyone else because Ferrari are the greatest and will always remain in that position.

Lets say Mclaren was to be kick out of F1...... What will Brawn GP do??? I don't think Mercedes would stay, oh yes say bye bye to the safety cars!!

[McLaren Fan]

I've not come across any of the broadsheets reporting that McLaren will be thrown out of the championship, but at any rate it's pretty certain the team are not going to get off lightly.

That's abut far fetched!

It's pretty bad, but that's the printed media.
THey'll be Button lovers right now. Here's a scope of the world's press from James Allen:

How the world views the Hamilton affair
April 3, 2009 by James Allen

Here’s a snapshot of the reaction from some of my international colleagues in the media.

First to Germany, where, true to form, leading tabloid Bild have making mischief with Photoshop again. Last week Hamilton was morphed onto a snail’s body, today he’s got Pinocchio’s nose and is described as the ‘lying world champion’ Ouch!


Next on to Spain, where El Pais simply has the headline, “Lying for a podium.” They feel that this has been a damaging moment for the world champion, but do not feel that the matter requires any further punishment.


That said, many in Spain are rubbing their hands with glee. In AS, the strongest of the Spanish daily sports papers, the writer says that McLaren has lost all credibility. In a stinging attack it says that McLaren used to stand for all the best of British sporting values, but since the arrival of Hamilton that has been eroded. It questions how a team with such great resources and allied to such a prestigious brand as Mercedes, could make such stupid mistakes.


In Italy they are playing with a fairly straight bat. La Gazetta dello Sport, the leading sports daily just reports the facts, as does Corriere dello Sport. “Hamilton risks further sanctions, is the line they take,


Meanwhile in the UK there is some really tough stuff, particularly in the Daily Mail, where they really go for it,


Get this; “When the story of Lewis Hamilton’s career is written, it will record how he bankrupted himself in the counting house of reputation for the sake of one single point…. McLaren, the most arrogant team in the paddock, self-deluded in their own righteousness, are contaminated by a culture of cheating.”

I’m supposed to be going to a dinner tonight, hosted by Mercedes boss Norbert Haug and McLaren’s Martin Whitmarsh for seven or eight UK journalists, including the Mail, Times etc. Could be quite a tense evening….

Typical Daily Mail.

[McLaren Fan]

The Daily Mail is reactionary, fascist garbage. I wouldn't even wipe my arse with it. Why can't Allen tell us what real papers are saying?

Maybe the real papers aren't really covering it. I'll do my own scope.

[EwanM]

Na just as I expected, reading over The Guardian there are no "Action News" headlines, just the facts.

I wanna see what the Sun are saying now "Hamilton is a Tax Dodger"

[McLaren Fan]

The Times and The Daily Telegraph have said the same thing pretty much. The Sun are going for the sensationalist Hamilton and McLaren are cheating scum and could be flung out of the championship.

Dear god without Hamilton, who would they target with their scandals? They've kinda pushed Max as far as they could.
