We have a Champion

Forums New posts
Oooooo, who could you mean? Was it Alponceo by any chance?

What happened to the Williams pit crew? I just saw some on stretchers....never saw what happened.
 
Nakajima took out some of his crew on his first pitstop in his first GP. Whoops.

BREAKING NEWS:

The Williams cars (both finishing ahead of 7th placed Hamilton in 5th and 6th) are being investigated for fuel irregularities. While this could potentially mean that Hamilton could be champion, I am disgusted that the FIA is deciding the title, not the drivers.

I'm sorry, but this is clutching at straws. The referee awarded that penalty, and UEFA cannot go back on any decision made during the 90 minutes. There is no way we will be able to get that game replayed in Moscow.

you say that, but quite has been the case a few times in F1 over recent years that drivers have lost places and points a few days after the race.

It almost happened to Hamilton a few weeks ago after the 'incident' in Japan.

If a driver is found to have had an unfair advantage for a race... which could be the case... then the FIA are at right to impose a number of penalty... eg.. Drop 10 places, Disqualified, Dropped 10 places on grid for next race (which i would guess could be the most likely result), or a fine... or both..
 
a quote from 606:

Max Molesley is in a difficult position with the fuel irregularity in Brazil. He said in the 13Sep FIA hearing that any breach of the technical specifications, however small, should always result in disqualification. In an ITV interview afterwards he said that he is obliged to investigate any irregularity brought to his attention, however small. If he fails to disqualify the cars which used superdense fuel he will only confirm that he is on a McLaren witch hunt.

Such as using 2 types of tyres in testing, or obtain private documents from another team?

This really is clutching at straws. MacLaren are doing a Sheffield United here, and disguising the fact that putting Hamilton on a 3 stop strategy and keeping him out in China despite the fact that he practically had a hole in his tyre is what actually cost him the World Championship.

McLaren made some very stupid decisions in the last two races. That their driver is not the World Champion largely down to their poor strategy and they should accept this graciously and stop acting like poor losers.

I wanted Hamilton to win the title, but Raikkonnen's form over the second part of the season was awesome and in the end he's a worthy champion.
 
Exactly. If McLaren had put him on a two-stopper then he had every chance of catching the three cars in front. With the extra stop he had no chance. McLaren f*cked up big time.
 
Anyone else think that the last few races were a fix after the spying scandal??

They could have easily docked Hamilton and Alsono points and Ferrari have been very quiet that they have not been docked points, so did they come to an agreement that Kimi would have every chance possible to win the title. Mclaren had every chance to bring Lewis in to change his tyres in China and to put him on 3 stop straegty seems very strange
 
I think that's ramping up the conspiracy theories a notch too far, Scott. Ferrari got their pound of meat, at the end of the day the constructors championship is the manufacurers main concern, and Ferrari won that hands down once McLaren had their points taken away. McLaren were guilty of trying to be too clever with their strategies when the simplest way is often the easiest.

Hamilton will win the world title one day. His team need to get their noses to the grindstone now to ensure that this is next year rather than make futile attempts to overturn the stewards' decisions.
