I know where I have seen Ron Dennis before! Anyone familiar with the Christmas classic "It's a Wonderful Life" will surely see the similarity between RD and Mr. Potter!!!! ;)

McLaren should let it lie. Even if those drivers did get DQ'd. What way is that to win the championship?!
lol .. RD isnt a cold blooded man, he is an emotional charector, but why the hell everyones quiet when todt,briotore or tororosso boss take a complian to the fia over each and everything, Ron has the same right to go to court to settle the problems obviously he feels its the right thing to do.!Quote:

its something i see that ferrari team and fans fear that they might lose the title ( now joined with loser alonso's fans) just incase Lewis win the title
lol./
wmcot.. yes the time difference was just over 11 seconds at the end.Lewis definitely would have passed the cars if they were driving 'normal' ..Quote:

the way Kubica drove behind Alonso & overtaken him suggested that its not his lighter fuel load happened to be too faster than the mclaren.
I say the cold fuel conspiracy indeed made a difference, while max,fia,benie & the rest's were too worried and looked on at mclaren of favorism the bmw & williams boys got an advantage, knowingly that max,benie,fia wont really see what they do
Spot on rohanweb, Ferrari has often made threats to complain about issues it doesn't agree with, the only difference is the people who moan about the matter. ;)
that said, I think looking back at the season, it does no one any good to drag it any further.
I'd rather wrap this season up and move on to more exiting stuff, like waiting for the first tests before next season. :p :
These would be the same courts who decided to let Ron continue to run in 2007 and 2008! The F1 fans of the world are sick of having every race (potentially) decided in court! I would doubt that there is one single race during a season that one team or another could not find some small reason to appeal some part of the race. REAL racing fans want to see the results on track, not watch an endless stream of court cases...we already have that, it's call "Court TV."Quote:

Do you really think that 3° C of fuel temperature made a difference of 11 seconds?Quote:

McLaren should not try to win in the courtroom a championship that they lost on track.
I wonder what Mercedes have to say about all of this as I very much doubt they would be happy to win a championship this way.
He also would have passed them if he hadn't driven off-track (lucky there was paved run-off, not gravel like China) or if his McLaren hadn't had technical problems. Perhaps the FIA should investigate McLaren quality control as Lewis's car was the main cause for him to lose the championship!Quote:

Face it! Lewis lost the championship ON THE TRACK, not once, but in TWO races. Perhaps RD should have appealed the loss in China since the gravel was too deep!
But that's what Ferrari did!Quote:
