So what is F1 to do ?-- it certainly has a problem. Obviously they can't
let McLaren off the hook completely (whether or not they are guilty of
anything) but they can't outright ban them either -- there is just too much
money at stake. Banning them outright would have money ripples everywhere
-- even Ferrari would lose there I think.
Here is what I think will (should?) happen:
-McLaren will be banned for the next 2 races and told to STFU
-Ferrari and other teams will be told to STFU.
This will effectively gift 20 points to one or the other of the Ferrari
drivers (or 18 to them both)-- assuming Ferrari and they are up for it,
making one of them in front or tied and the other slightly behind in the
WDC.
Then the last two races will have 4 contenders fighting for WDC and Ferrari
the likely winner of the Constructor's. Should make for great box office
and please the fans, sponsors, drivers (well probably Alonso and Hamilton
not so much) and constructors.
Then everybody will hope that this will all be forgotten by next year.
