ya if they stopped being political shits and taking undeserved
inherited wins, they might actually do a lot better. Bad karma ah,
what to do, pay off FIA somemore la 
Oh, puh-leeze. A few mill doesn't go as far these days as
it used to. Besides, why do they need to pay anyone off when
they can just sit back and let Monkey Boy Hamilton fumble the ball
for free? 
By the way, if you do want to talk about taking undeserved wins,
the FIA did a sterling job last year stripping McLaren of all
points for copying Ferrari's
designs. 
As for being political, McLaren's trying to salvage the Spa
points in court is nothing other than a political exercise. I
have no objection to that - it's part of the sport. What I do
object to is how bad Mac are at it, especially in not muzzling
Monkey Boy.
Frankly, I thought Bernie's bullshit about catering to European
audiences (after years of claiming to make F1 a world sport) was
going to be this fortnight's exercise in utter and complete
stupidity, but Lewis "Cochran" Hamilton took the gawd-damn cake
when he went into a courtroom and
asked a lawyer: "Are
you a racing
driver?" and then bragged about being St Bloody
George slaying the dragon when his very presence in said courtroom
was by the
express arrangement of his own team! 
Sure, I don't expect the punk to be a parchment-waving
philosopher, but for the love of God, that doesn't mean that he
(and his dear old dad) have to be the retard clodhoppers from the
local fish and chippery.
