Firstly, in response to your original post below (now edited I assume) -

I am thanks. Fat ar5e = soft landing!!! :p :

Turning to the first quote above, and being generally a little more serious.....

I think Ferrari already did the blocking thing last year with FA. It was then stated by the FIA that this will be looked at differently in the future.

Don't start the kettle and pot thing........... ;)

Yeah I saw that they still punished some people this season for the same offense but chose not to look at it when Hamilton was involved! :rolleyes:

Well, that tells us one thing, the rules are very inconsistent. Why can't someone take a stand and get a clarificati.......

Oh, wait. Someone is......

Thank goodness. A drop of common sense in a season of madness.

1). floor in OZ (Max said that McLaren were also concerned by the flexing floor problem in Oz so according to some around here the floors of several teams were illegal, not my view though)
2). put back on the track by a crane in Nurburgring
3). disregarded the SC car rules in very difficult condition at Fuji
4). used more wet weather tires than allowed by the rules in Brazil
5). 2 x blocked Kimi's hot laps in qualifying in Brazil

That's 18 points by my calculations.

Let's see how many you can find for Kimi! Than you do the maths and see who had more points.

I just remembered one more for Lewis:

6) McLaren run a new lightweight gearbox in Hungary without submitting it first to be crash tested by the FIA

That makes it 28 points less for Hamilton. Doesn't look good at all!

Still logical, Captain, see posts 43 and 64 :)

A note to say it's worth keeping an eye on earlier posts, because some of the more logical posts do quickly 'disappear' up the thread when hypocritical members, who pretend it is other people who don't debate properly, quickly post replies to other posts to avoid acknowledging them or letting them develop the real argument. So you may not see the logical posts referred to at all, if such a member(s) is on the ball. And sometimes such members seem to be on 24/7.

That's why I posted the summary, but I agree it's not that convincing on its own.

If Kimi had lost his points in the first race, and the McLarens moved up the standings, who would be WDC now?

And how many points was Lewis leading by going into China? 17. If he had kept that lead, Kimi's 10 points from Australia wouldn't have mattered at all. He choked twice and lost a 17 point lead! Yes, I am serious! Losing 17 points was far more detrimental to LH's championship than Kimi winning 10. Do the math!

If the fact that IF Ferrari HAD been disqualified from Oz Lewis or Nando had become world champion, then I think it is wrong to say it has far less to do with the championship.

We KNOW LH lost 17 points in the last two races, that is fact, and I can manage the mathematics of it thanks.

The point I made was that you were wrong to dismiss the potential effect of the floor (legal or not) issue.

My mistake, my fingers types what I was thinking, not what I was meaning.

I meant he lost his 17 point lead.

Doh. ;)
