PARIS -- The McLaren team was fined $100 million and stripped of its points in the constructors' standings Thursday in the spying scandal that has rocked the sport.
McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, seen Thursday in Paris, and teammate Fernando Alonso can still compete for the F1 series title. The penalties levied against McLaren were far more severe.
McLaren, which leads the current drivers' and constructors' standings, was punished by the World Motor Sports Council for allegedly using leaked secret technical documents belonging to F1 rival Ferrari.
