I'm not so sure it is a serious thread, it all seems like bit of a joke to me. Never mind Max bringing the sport into disrepute it's the crazies in the steward's office that are the laughing stock :DQuote:

Calm down everyone!
It was a great race, Lewis will probably still win the WC, and (I know I'll get slaughtered for this, but oh well) it makes more talking points and gets more people discussing F1. I'd say it even adds to the excitement!
Furthermore, Nick Heidfeld is my fav driver, so happy days! 2nd! Hooray!
Cost saving idea for the FIA: just award the Constructors and World Driving Championship to Ferrari and whichever Ferrari driver they want to have the WDC Title. Hundreds of millions of dollars can be saved. Obviously the racing doesn't mean anything.
Yet another reason why Formula One will never be popular in the U.S. American fans won't watch a sport where old fat guys in suits decide the results, instead of the competitors.
What little credibility that the FIA had left is now gone, IMO.
I guess they got worried that if LH gets too far ahead, the TV revenue will collapse. Now we can not have that, now can we?????
But again, from the perspective of a dry track condition, then there seems to be some justification for such a penalty. My problem is that the rack was wet.
And this shows how wet and difficult: "In a chaotic final couple of laps, Heidfeld jumped from eighth to third place on the track with what he called a "hero or zero decision" to come in for wet-weather tyres with two laps to go."

There might be added another 25 seconds for blocking Kimi off 2 corners later from retaking the lead by changing lines 4 times ...Quote:

I would like to hear how the race stewards decided Hamilton gained an advantaged by cutting the chicane.
They will and they win the appeal IMO. And I think that if there is a punishment it shoould mirror the one at Valencia - a fine.
