2007 Sporting Regulations
2007 ran 17 rounds. Points 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 for top 8. The season's off-track story was 'Spygate' — Ferrari technical dossiers were found at McLaren, and the FIA disqualified McLaren from the constructors' championship + imposed a $100M fine (the largest sporting sanction in motorsport history at that point). Drivers' points stood. Kimi Raikkonen took the drivers' title by a single point after Lewis Hamilton's final-race implosion in Brazil.

McLaren was disqualified from the 2007 constructors' standings after a Ferrari technical dossier was found at the team. The $100M fine + DSQ was unprecedented. The drivers' championship was not affected. The sanction set the bar for future integrity rulings.
