McLaren have and I expect will want to keep their proffessional image they have with the press and to the viewing public so I really can't see them becoming vindictive in the open air, and certainly not if it's cause for the team to lose focus on what's really important.
Some of this evidence is actually quite damning against Mike Coughlan, Nigel Stepney and the two McLaren drivers. I think Ferdy and de la Rosa were luckly that they complied with the FIA requests for evidence...
A violent lot you are :D.
Let's hope McLaren can challenge the FIA, but I doubt they will budge an inch. Just as xyphic says that F1 is losing credibility, the last thing they want to do is lose credibility in their own circles by putting Ferrari's backs up.
Doubtful AH2, Ron has always said the Constructor's was more important than the driver's championships and with a character as strong as his would want to go out on a massive high not only for the press but also for himself.
The drivers do have a large role to play in off-season development so to say that their involvement was none is not entirely accurate. They would however have no actual engineering input, rather a drivers input on actual on track performance gains.
There is surely no hard evidence that the information contained therein was used in the design of the 2008 car (hard to say for definate regarding the 2007 since it is not a car that Mike Coughlan was directly responsible for if I recall) otherwise the would not be scrutinising it, McLaren would...
:D
I would actually be surprised if McLaren come out and challenge this. Aside from the stonking fine the outcome is not as bad as it could have been and a challenge could see the punishment grow disproportionately.
It would be nice if universities were somehow able to award a title along with degrees, such as Eng. prefixing a name, and only allowing courses accredited with the relevant proffessional bodies to do this.
