I am still not entirely sure what the following excerpt means exactly, but I’m pretty sure they say something about being fined $100 million dollars, which is a lot of money.

  Accused of using leaked secret data from its main rival Ferrari, the Formula One team McLaren was hit with a record $100 million fine Thursday by the World Motor Sport Council in the biggest scandal to hit auto racing’s premier circuit.

Although McLaren drivers Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso escaped punishment Thursday, the espionage claims have rocked the sport and tainted McLaren’s lead in the drivers’ standings.

The team, also stripped of its constructors’ points, already was battling accusations that it had used team orders to decide which driver would win races this season. Now, it is facing a new crisis.

And if they make the playoffs, they lose their first round pick!
