The secret mechanic's diary: Mercedes escapes, but it's Silverstone next

In the latest part of AUTOSPORT's fiction-based-on-fact diary, F1 mechanic 'Spanners' laments the outcome of last week's Mercedes tribunal and looks at the 'joys' of the British GP

Howdy race fans.

What do we all think about last week's International Tribunal then? Personally, I think it all went quite well and the outcome was spot on... I jest, of course.

What an absolute joke. And not the funny kind either. I've worked in this wonderful sport for some time now and have seen it all. GPs where only six cars start; espionage on an almost James Bond scale (and I don't just mean the $100m McLaren time); race fixing and secret fuel tanks; adulterous drivers with their bosses wives, and international drug smuggling.
