Seriously!

I think the whole "luxury garage" thing in F1 is ridiculous anyway. The sport would be a lot better if they had to keep all their tools in a tire trailer they towed behind the car between events. Let's see if they could handle racing in the real world that the rest of us live in.

I tend to agree with Doug on this one,

This a disgrace. Not only did McLaren cheat in 2007 but they lied about it constantly.
The fact that they cannot even line up in the pit lane in the properly way just goes to show that they and the FIA have learned nothing.

Bernie knows he can get more exposure by moving them up garages and therefore line his pockets even more.

once again, its seems the FIA, Bernie et al, care more about $$ than sport..

Can you name a professional racing series that isn't a soap opera which is all about the money? Because I can't think of one.

Just like ALL major sports...

Former New York Yankees baseball pitcher Roger Clemens is part of a government hearing on capital hill; like that ain't the biggest soap opera ever?
