Garrett, is there any precident for this size of fine. A couple of weeks back in F1, Ferrari got fined $100,000 for 'team orders'. Basically, in F1, the teams (each of 2 cars) cannot make one of their drivers give way to the other. Ferrari sent one of their drivers, Felipe Massa (who was in the lead), the radio message 'Fernando (his team mate) is faster than you. Do you understand?'. He subsequently let him by, and the authorities slapped them with the fine. This pales into insignificance compared to what happened to McLaren in 2007. They were found to be in possession of technical data belonging to rivals Ferrari. They got stripped of all their constructor's points (their drivers' points added together - drivers compete for the drivers' championship, teams for the constructors') and got fined $100 million.
