Anyone got any further info than what I've managed to catch in a few radio grabs?
Apparently it was for "sying" on Ferrari.

Shows how much of a joke, setting a fine at this level of the worlds competition, truly is.....
How many millions of dollars does it take to get an F1 point...?
How many millions of dollars does it take to get a podium finish...?
These teams race with an opened, signed cheque......
Where does this Billion Dollars go...?

to pay some crack pot aeronautical engineers to muck about with computer modeling and scale model wind tunnel testing. Then construct out of carbon fibre which has a global short supply due to Boeing and Airbus building planes out of the stuff, strap a V8 to the back revving at 20000 rpm which has had money spent on it bigger than the finances of an African nation. whack on a bit of rubber which as composite compounds average joe has never heard off and pack in some hotshot young buck who thinks he is god and invincible and hey presto............................................. your modern F1 car is complete
