Ecclestone: McLaren may face ban
Series supremo Bernie Ecclestone has said that McLaren could be banned from Formula One races as a result of the Australian Grand Prix lying row.
The team will appear before the World Motor Sport Council later this month to answer charges of lying to race stewards at the season-opening race.
The Mercedes-powered outfit have been found to have deliberately misled stewards about the circumstances regarding the late safety car period in Melbourne when Jarno Trulli overtook Lewis Hamilton.
The issue has already led to Hamilton issuing a public apology after he supported the team's claim that he had not been ordered to allow Trulli through - with radio evidence then proving the claim to be incorrect.
As well as Hamilton being excluded from the race, long-standing McLaren employee Dave Ryan has been dismissed from his job for his part in the incident.
"We need to investigate closer what went on," Bernie told the Daily Express. "It is about stealing a point and a place but those are worth money so basically it is fraud, although I am sure it started off more innocently without thought of the consequences.
"There are many options open if the charge sticks and it would be a terrible thing if any team were banned from races. But it could happen.
"It is not so long ago that McLaren were in front of the Council and it is never good for anyone if you are back in court quickly for something similar."
McLaren were thrown out of the constructors' championship in 2007 as a result of the spying saga involving rivals Ferrari. |

Hamilton: I considered quitting
Eurosport - Mon, 27 Apr 08:43:00 2009
Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton admits the increased scrutiny on him following the 'lie-gate' scandal made him question his long-term future in the sport.
The 24-year-old was disqualified from the Australian Grand Prix and forced to apologise for "misleading" race stewards, a misjudgement which cost McLaren's technical director Dave Ryan his job and may have contributed to Ron Dennis' decision to sever his ties with F1.
Now Hamilton, who has said in the past that his decision to move to a tax haven in Switzerland was partly motivated by a desire to have more privacy, has suggested he considered his own position.
He told The Sun: "I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to be here for the next five years.
"There was so much going on. Do I want to be in the limelight with people slating me? Do I want to be in the spotlight where I can't even go to the fish and chip shop or the cinema and have fun without people taking pictures of me?
"But if I want to race this car and continue doing this, that's what I've got to do."
McLaren will find out their punishment for lying to stewards when they go before the World Motor Sport Council on Wednesday.
