hmm, see if macca do get a ban, it should not include kovy IF the stewards are nice, which is rare.
Hamilton signed till 2012, not sure on a get-out clause.

Re: Lie-Gate - McLaren to receive another penalty?
there is one... his manager "father" is reviewing it.... probable something like if the team is banned the driver can end his contract to find a ride for that year... most drivers put have that in their contracts to look out for their own best interests

if Hammy leaves Macca, then he won't get a drive for '09 and possibly 2010.

Does anybody know, when the decision of the hearing will be published?
Re: Lie-Gate - McLaren to receive another penalty?
The decision of the previous so called spy-gate was published in the very same day of WMSC. It should be the same for this particular situation.

Re: Lie-Gate - McLaren to receive another penalty?
The evidence is piling up on McLaren, though I still think the punishment will be a fine or points deduction rather than a ban. Hamilton is too much of a commercial commodity for F1 to lose. The reason why Schumi wasn't banned after Jerez was because it would damage TV audiences, and I think we'll see the same here.
Re: Lie-Gate - McLaren to receive another penalty?
Yeah, but Schumacher was banned in 94. But back then it was neccessary, to help Hill, otherwise Schumacher would have been champion in Monza or so.
I think it would be fair, to not ban McLaren or Hamilton, but deduct 10 points from Hamilton in the drivers and 20 from McLaren in the constructors championship at the end of the season.

Re: Lie-Gate - McLaren to receive another penalty?
So McLaren will end up with minus points??? McLaren will be back to having numbers 22 and 23 next year...
Re: Lie-Gate - McLaren to receive another penalty?
no, there are only 10 teams this year so they'll be 20 and 21, unless we get another number kaffuffle.
