Makes no sense to punish the team but not the drivers. Who but the drivers benefitted from the stolen technology? It boggles the mind.
What a ridiculous ruling. There we have it, Alonsín el Payaso crowned king of the circus again.

Audi defends Le Mans 24 Hour title.
1 agrees.

It's an endurance 24H race, speed doesn't matter much. Peugeot went for the speed route and neglected other aspects. Well, it's their fault and their fault alone, and not anybody else's luck. If you want to talk about luck, what about last year? If it wasn't for the rain none of the Peugeots would have lasted past 18 or 19 hours because the race pace would have been much higher. The only car to cross the line did so with no oil pressure and a severly overheating engine, after being stopped in the track (not the pits!) for the best part of the last half hour, just waiting for the final lap because if it didn't wouldn't be able to finish! Hope they do better next year, sincerely.

Again, it's not luck, it's skill. The Audi package was, in the whole, more consistent, and that's not luck, that's skill and foresight. Peugeots were blistering fast in the dry and almost undrivable in the rain, and that is their fault alone. It's not like it doesn't ever rain during the 24 heures du Mans, they should be prepared for all eventualities. So, they decided to cut corners and don't develop the car to be efficient in the rain, and that is Audi's luck? Again, it's nothing but experience and good race management on Audi's side, to be prepared for each and every race condition possible. It also shows an amateurish poor planning and judgement on the part of Peugeot. [continues]

Alex, luck? "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means!" I think the word you're looking for is 'skill', not 'luck'. Stunning performance from Audi this weekend, running against a car that was consistently 4/5 seconds per lap quicker and still coming out ahead is nothing short of superb. Peugeot thought they had it in the bag, but they obviously have a lot to go yet. I think it was a bit naive on their part to think they could beat Audi in 2 years (seeing that Audi has a decade of experience racing Le Mans) by just pouring more money on the development of the car. A fast car does not Le Mans win, as it was prooved today yet again. Proud Audi owner.

I think everyone misuderstood ironic. He didn't say any of that, he was just merely quoting an earlier comment made by someone called Jacko. Please note the quotation marks.
