@denkmit Fully agree. A financial penalty at the very least distributed amongst the manufacturers who missed out on points, podiums and promotional opportunities.
@MopHandel@matoxley They didn’t lose them, they never earned them so this is not a punishment. It gives the impression that a team can do what they like so long as they are prepared to surrender points if caught.
Ban them. This appalling breach (cheating) has cost other compliant riders and teams podiums and precious media attention. The sanctions need to be a deterrent.
Adrian Fernandez has been disqualified from the following Grand Prix: Catalunya, France, Thailand, Brazil, USA, Spain
Aka every round we have raced at so far.
Evidence of tampering.
He was running third in the championship

@denkmit Appalling rule breach unless there is a very good explanation. Moto3 doesn’t necessarily 27 riders. They should be banned and have to reapply for entries. Harsh on Pini but this is a team sport.
When the C219 CLS launched in 2004, it invented a body style that every other manufacturer spent the next decade trying to copy.
Four doors, a fastback roofline, no B-pillar, and frameless windows, none of which existed together in one car before this.
The CLS 500 came with the 5.0L M113 V8, 306 HP and 460 Nm, fitted with two spark plugs per cylinder for a more even burn across the combustion cycle.
It was built on the W211 E-Class platform but with completely different proportions and a lower, more aggressive seating position with 4 seats, not 5.
That made it feel like a different car entirely.
Most buyers chose the diesel because it was cheaper to run.
The ones who chose the V8 got the engine the car was always meant to have.
