The news from yesterday's WMSC hearing is that McLaren have been stripped of their points this season, fined 100 Million USD but their drivers are allowed to keep their points and race.

You can comment on this decision on the Ferrari investigation thread.

Hi Ed :wave:

I'm counting on you today! I just logged on to the Live Timing and there is nothing there, ziltch, nada! :cry: Just a message that says "First Timed Session for 2007 formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix in Spa will be Friday Practice 1"

Dah! So where's the times? They've started already! Perhaps all at the FIA have gone down the pub to spend McLaren's 100 mil :evil:
Lewis Hamilton & Jenson Button World Champions :)

OK, so they aren't down the pub :oops: it's just me being stupid. Still, they better not annoy me any more else I'll devote the rest of my life to undermining the FIA and showing how criminally insane they all are. :twisted:

The datafeed from the official timing isn't working.

Currently Fisichella is fastest with a 1:50.3!

The only timing that is working at the moment is the car timing. The order isn't displayed either!

Kovalainen has just gone fastest with a 1:49.197
