MAGNY COURS, France -- McLaren came away from the French Grand Prix feeling mistreated by Formula One's governing body after a series of penalties.

Team principal Ron Dennis did little to dismiss suggestions that FIA was picking on the British team.

"You can draw your own conclusions," Dennis told reporters Sunday after Lewis Hamilton was penalized for a pass. The 23-year-old Briton finished 10th after starting the race with a 10-place penalty on the grid because he caused an accident at the preceding Canadian GP.

Hamilton, trying to move up into the points from 13th, passed Toro Rosso's Sebastian Vettel at the third corner and got as high as ninth but his impatience earned a drive-through penalty because he cut across a chicane in the maneuver.

"You can keep on giving me penalties, do whatever you want to do and I'll keep battling and I'll keep trying to come back with a result," Hamilton said. "We're going to focus on the next race and we're going to hit them hard."

McLaren chief executive Martin Whitmarsh thought Hamilton had completed the pass properly.

"We thought he was by the car at that point and that he'd be OK," said Whitmarsh, brushing aside questions about any FIA grudge.

"I don't think there's any point in speculating on that. A penalty was given."

FIA president Max Mosley and Dennis have never seen eye-to-eye, especially after last year when McLaren was fined $100 million for possessing confidential Ferrari documents. Renault, meanwhile, wasn't fined after also getting caught with Ferrari papers.

WEST ALLIS, Wis. David Stremme decided the only way to rebuild his racing reputation was to throw his career into reverse.

After losing his Sprint Cup ride at the end of last season, Stremme turned down other opportunities to drive in NASCAR's top series in 2008. Instead, he's racing for Rusty Wallace's team in the second-tier Nationwide series. And it just might pay off.

Teams are noticing Stremme's recent string of strong finishes, and he already is working on potential deals to return to Sprint Cup.

"A lot of people are talking, and we'll see what happens on the Cup side of things," Stremme said. "I feel very confident that I'll be back in the Cup series next year."

Stremme was considered one of NASCAR's top up-and-coming talents when he made the jump to Cup full-time in 2006.... // The Canadian Press
