Subject: [Ferrari] A slap on the wrist to Renault

A 2-year probation to Renault for cheating, for fixing a race. I know FIA
stands for Fédération International de l'Automobile. That's french, their
offices are in Paris, France in the Place de la Concorde neighborhood. Those
3 letters always are in the same order, no translation in any country.
Still, that's pushing it.
But compare this sanction with what McLaren got last year, $100 million
fine, for getting a secret document from Ferrari. Nobody was able to prove
that McLaren actually benefited from that document.
I know F1 lost 2 manufacturers (Honda and BMW) within a few months and they
don't want to lose more. They sent a clear message last year with that big
fine to McLaren and that didn't scare anybody.
A bigger punishment was in order.
