as to hindsight, depends on whose hind as to if it be a fine thing....
for example with your missus, one can never tell if it is foresight or hindsight you be looking at, assuming you got 25 cents and the time to wait in the long line :dozey:

The German GP result stands, unfortunately - but since they've been found guilty and sent upstairs pending further punishment, they've got more pain to come.

but that is the worst part, the result should not stand, If they fined them $100k then they should have equally stripped therm from the results. This would have been the only proper outcome and a good precedent for any future shenanigans that might happen between vettel/webber and Hamilton/Button.

Instead you now have these teams willing to do team orders and then pay the poultry $100k afterwards.

I feel bad for smedley and massa,
As to alonso what a complete zero of a human being, can,t beat your teammate on track, then cry over the radio to tell them to let you by, Can't beat your teammate on the track, then blackmail your team to favor you, offer bribes to the mechanics to make your car better. This guy is at the center of the 3 biggest scandals in F1 of recent, useless

As to Ferrari, they have brought the sport to disrepute. Should have been banned for the next race. simple clean and effective punishment.
Didn't the FIa at first ban renault for valencia last year before "overturning" the verdict?
They should have been banned and then dare the FIA heads to overturn the decision.

Big bad Ferrari and this wasn't needed... there, common ground :)

as this appears to be a "team" sport and everybody is doing what they're doing for the "team", i suggest they do away with the drivers championship and only have a constructors/team championship that way team orders will be legal.
all you have to worry about then is teams who have shared interests.

Agreed, especially as they wouldn't have had time to ask for a hearing before next week end's race! :D

how about stripping the results and imposing a one race ban if they are looking to impose a maximum fine? Instead they asked Ferrari to give them the loose change in Alonso's pocket

Not a bad idea.

Hmm, they've slapped the maximum fine on, which suggests the stewards saw enough to know they weren't happy about it. I'm looking forward to the WMSC meeting, though it could do with being a bit earlier..

It is obvious that the stewards didn't dare go for anything but a useless monetary punishment. They simply deferred the responsibility to the WMSC.
