Hmmm, if this ends up as true, I'd be very upset if I were any of the teams being forced to move down.
The only thing I can think is that Bernie went to mclaren after brazil and said drop your appeal to the result, do it in such a way that looks credible, and in return i'll save you the embarressment of having to work in the small garages and leave the motorhome back in england. ::)

Money talks, and as the article says, McLaren are one of the biggest 2 teams, so on that assumption bring it that much more through their commercial interests. Upset them and it isn't just the Woking wallet that's affected...

the only plus side is that they still get a small garage. Only the top 3 teams get the double garage, they would now however get the space for that motorhome of theirs

When McClaren payed the FOM that big fine, I bet Bernie was quite flattered, and decided to give them a break.
