Fuel issue- No penalty for BMW/Williams- McLaren to appeal

Let's just say that this season EVERYONE got their share of help from the FIA, some more ans some less.

Back to the fuel debate.

McLaren was found guilty of cheating and excluded from the championship but drivers were allowed to keep their points and continue to fight for the WDC.

Hamilton was put back on track by a crane when rules clearly stated that cranes can only be used to remove stricken cars that abandoned.

SC rules were relaxed after the same drivers shenanigans in poor weather conditions led to an accident.

More sets of wet tires were used in FP1 in Brazil, team got fined and driver got away clean.

Disrupted KR's qualifying twice yet the stewards said to Ferrari there is no use to question it! (keep in mind that others lost places on the grid for similar actions)

So what are McLaren and RD expecting from the FIA, again, in this fuel related problem.

Fine the teams?

Disqualify the BMW and Williams cars and take away all their points or only the constructor points?

They are clearly not in a position to ask for drivers to be disqualified, not without questioning their own drivers situation.

The FIA said that the BMW & Williams cars were outside the regulations during the Brazilian GP. Any team has the right to expect the FIA to apply their regulations.

How about - If they must take away the drivers points for the race, DON'T adjust the others, so Kimi keeps his WDC.

How's so? The previous issues have absolutely nothing to do with the fuel issue.

A fine will be the best solution. But I think that Ron will cancel his appeal and miraculously his fine will become smaller.

Yes but spygate is more serious and Lewis also did a boo-boo in free practice as well ;)

Absolutely. When do you stop trawling back? After 1 race, 10 races, 5 seasons? The irregularities were in this race, so this race should be examined only. I hope the FIA put this to bed. We have a new world champion and if that is to change ( I sincerely hope not) let it be done swiftly.

If they don't that practically proofes all those "LH get unfair advantage" whiners wrong. JIMO

I want to see a fine handed out since there is a violation of rules. I do not demand DQing the drivers. If they hand out pointsdeduction and/or money fine just against the teams or just anything reasonable I will be fine with it. But I will not be fine with just letting this go.

How about a 10 place grid penalty for both teams in their next race? That sounds fair!!

So they actually appealed the stewards decision:

Now I'm waiting for J. Stewart to come up with some more bull$hit directed to the FIA and Max. :rolleyes:
