McLaren got lucky let-off, says Trulli
September 26, 2007
In a story reported by Autosport, Trulli says “McLaren drivers Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso should have been thrown out of this year’s Formula One title race”. Although I am enjoying this years championship, I have to say that I agree with Jarno Trulli. If McLaren are guilty (as they have been found to be) then the drivers have to have benefited from whatever McLaren have done. Therefore, they should also have their points taken away from them.
The FIA got around this problem (there would have been an uproar in the press, especially in the U.K. and Spain) by offering the drivers immunity from penalties if they came forward with information. What is interesting is that this was offered after Max had allegedly already received the incriminating evidence from Bernie. The only assumption that can be made is that this was dreamed up as a way to not penalize the drivers.
Is this fair?
