Suspended 3 race ban for Hamilton and McLaren
McLaren have today been handed a suspended three-race ban ….
as the ‘lie-gate’ saga hearing was held.
The team’s pro-active approach in the run up to the extraordinary hearing in-fact softened the blow as McLaren could have been more heavily penalised. Last year they were fined $100m for a similar incident.
However, the WMSC appear to have taken into account a number of mitigating circumstances and McLaren pleaded guilty on all five counts that was of breaching the International Sporting Code.
This means that the ban is suspended for 12 months so they and Lewis Hamilton CAN RACE ON this season.
We have recommended that you back Jenson Button for the World Title
