This article is a bit more comprehensive:
http://www.motorsport.com/news/article.asp?ID=269154
In short:
- McLaren team stripped of all 2007 F1 Constructor's Championship points.
- McLaren as a team fined $100 million
- McLaren drivers are not penalized; Hamilton 1st Alonso 2nd in standings with 4 races left.
- December 2007 McLaren will be asked to present technical info on 2008 car, to determine if any penalties will be levied against McLaren for the 2008 season.
- McLaren will wait until the release of the full report tomorrow (Friday 9/14) to determine if they will appeal (as expected).
wow. First the Patriots, now McLaren... two high profile teams accused/found guilty of cheating in the same week. What has this sports world come to???

What problem?
F1 is about technology and politics. I'm satisfied, I'm entertained.
The full story will come out (i.e. the USGP fiasco a few years back wasn't so much about safety but politics) and we shall be entertained till the end.
