Formula One Management chairman Bernie Ecclestone has said that McLaren essentially committed ”fraud” by lying to stewards in Australia, and that the consequences could be serious for the team.

The sport’s commercial rights holder, who has nothing to do with the World Motor Sport Council before which McLaren is due to appear on 29 April, nevertheless expressed concern that the team could be banned.

“It is about stealing a point and a place but those are worth money so basically it is fraud, although I am sure it started off more innocently without thought of the consequences,” the empresario told the Daily Express.

“There are many options open if the charge sticks and it would be a terrible thing if any team were banned from races. But it could happen.

“It is not so long ago that McLaren were in front of the Council and it is never good for anyone if you are back in court quickly for something similar,” he finished ominously.


With talk like this and the and the way he talks about Silverstone and the rumors of him wanting to buy Silverstone, maybe he want it all. All this beating up on them would bring the cost down. That would certainly fit his persona.

Thanks for the compliment :D:D

I just think rumors like this should be floated for the fun of it. If nothing more than to have a little fun at the expense of the 'great ones' at the top of the F1 food chain. but McLaren better get their :censored: together or it may come true. Now I think I'll go back to what prompted this in the first place. :drink::drink::drink:
