Ban KERS already, who exactly has that helped so far this season? All those millions of pounds spent on a cockpit fire and an electrocution or two.

Helped McLaren at Bahrain?

What exactly can the FIA do but push on with their proposals. I bet they include the WINS system too!

Whitmarsh to face FIA alone
''We have chosen not to contest the charges''
26/04/09 19:07

McLaren Mercedes will face the FIA next Wednesday without its usual swathe of lawyers.

Amid the 'lie-gate' scandal, the British team has been summoned to the World Motor Sport Council to face multiple charges of fraud.

But, as indicated in boss Martin Whitmarsh's leaked letter to FIA President Max Mosley, McLaren is simply prepared to face the consequences for lying to the stewards in Australia and Malaysia.

The team's approach to the Paris hearing means Whitmarsh will simply front up alone, not contesting the charges. The approach is expected to net a points deduction and suspended race ban, but not harsher penalties like exclusion or draconian fines.

"I will go into the hearing alone.

But I have yet to take the advice of the stakeholders and the FIA," Whitmarsh said in Bahrain on Sunday.

"It's not a complicated hearing. We have chosen not to contest the charges and that makes the process simpler," he added.

What would you do if Whitmarsh started crying?

What do you get if you fall in love, a girl with a pin to burst your bubble?


But yeah, its interesting to see that there is no representative from Mercedes, shows there is quite a distance between the two parties at the moment. I realise Whitmarsh will represent that 40% share that Mercedes own, but the mumours of putting Merc stickers on the Brawns etc does show that the German Manufacturer doesn't want the bad press if the FIA come down hard on Mclaren.
