As far as I can see the worst accusation that can be levelled at Ron Dennis and the SEM of Mclaren is incompetence, because they failed to notice and stop the email exchange between Couglan and Alonso and Pedro. But that is no reason to fine Mclaren. They did not solicit the information and neither did they knowingly use it to gain an advantage. You cannot vicariously punish a company for the criminal activity of an individual employee. Ergo, case closed against corporate Mclaren and its CEO. Alonso and Coughlan used the information and therefore they and they alone should be fined by the FIA . In my view, Mclaren should prosecute all three (de la Rosa, Alonso and Coughlan) in a UK court for bringing the name of Mclaren into disrepute. Failing that, if I was Ron Dennis I'd dock Alonso's and Pedro's salary this year by $100m. Simple as that. Ohyeh, and obviously boot Alonso's moaning a.rse into touch as soon as he crosses the finish line at Interlagos. Which I am sure Ron will do.
