McLaren have been excluded from the 2007 constructorsÔÇÖ championship and fined US$100 million following ThursdayÔÇÖs FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) hearing in Paris. Drivers Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton have not been penalized and are free to continue their fight for the drivers' title.
The penalty follows McLarenÔÇÖs admission that the team was in breach of the International Sporting Code through their possession of confidential technical data belonging to rivals Ferrari, who are now all but assured of the 2007 constructorsÔÇÖ title.
McLaren are also required to submit detailed plans of their 2008 car to the FIA, who warned that it could apply further sanctions relating to next season should any irregularities be found in the carÔÇÖs design.

Basically Alonso and Hamilton snitched on them, at least that's how I take it. "However, due to the exceptional circumstances in which the FIA gave the team's drivers an immunity in return for providing evidence, there is no penalty in regards to drivers' points."
Some crazy shit. Thoughts on how this will impact the season/sport?
