I totally agree with the decision. Ever since Ham Bone claimed he would be the number one driver on any team, even one with MS, I have written him off.

Just for clarity, the "appropriate court" heard McLaren's case. Then because of the rules clearly stated in writhing, the panel ruled that "drive through penalties" were not subject to appeal. McLaren had their say and as is so common with McLaren they ran a foul of the rules.

BTW: every F1 driver currently on the grid felt Ham Bone violated the rules. They also felt that the penalty was harsh. A 25 second penalty is not terribly harsh, the timing of it was. Sometimes timing is everything.
