When do we find out how heavily F1 is going to come down on McLaren? And how many years it'll be before they're eligible for any of the championships?
And which court they're going to take F1 to, regarding double standards in application of the rules?

Of course, that can all change if the FIA believes that McLaren is using purloined technology from Ferrari in their current car. THAT will be an ongoing thing, I'm afraid.
As far as the lawsuit goes, I've not seen nor heard anything about it since... um... Ron Dennis formally apologized back in December. My guess is that there's some back-room dealings going on that we've not heard about.

LOL - Loved the pic of Fernando. I hope Nelson Piquet, Jr., turns out to be another Lewis Hamilton and a thorn in 'Nando's side.
