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

[Ranger]

I'm pulling my hair out. It'd be just Raikkonen's luck!

too cool

Isnt there FIA precedent for this in 2005 with Coulthard/Schumacher when they both ran Renaults and Elf fuel and if memory serves, the Constructors points were docked yet the drivers points were upheld??

What a bloody mess if Lewis gets promoted to Champ in these circumstances. Even though I wanted him to win the title all race, I wouldnt want it now under these circumstances.

It's like 1994 and '95 all over again, except then there weren't internet forums on which people could vent their conspiracy theories and have their prejudices backed up by others.

When you say "others" I assume you are refferring to the words right out of Bernie's mouth:
"If McLaren were favouring one driver I doubt whether we would ever find out, it's that easy. There are a million things people could do if they wanted to favour one driver.

*****************

"I was campaigning for them not to take points from drivers,"

"Max was probably right, actually. If the team had an advantage, therefore the drivers had an advantage. And should they have an advantage? The answer is no.

"He is right on the regulations. The regulations say if the car loses points, the driver loses points as well."


i guess that phone call I refferred to earlier....BE calling MAxi, that BE got back to Maxie....and guess what......Maxie says....of course, this is not a "conspiracy", just a "campaign"......

And now, I have spent months doing my very best to outdo the circus, coming up with really wacky things, to be scolded by posters here, BUT time and time again, I get outdone---not by another poster, no, I get outdone by the real f1 circus!!!!

Screwtineers....and on and on.......and on and on....

WOW

The 3 cars being Heidfeld, Kubica and Rosberg obviously.

Yes, naturally. But if they're going to rig the championship, please give it to Mark Webber.

Considering that Mclaren was allowed to keep drivers points (stepneygate), i'm sure Heidfeld, Kubica and Rosberg would too. Otherwise it is injustice. Not to mention tomorrow people will wake up thinking what the hell...

I agree, even though, as I stated elsewhere, I would have loved Hamilton to have become the first rookie world champion for that reason alone.

Alonso told the Spanish media that this whole thing is a non-issue. The temperature is often a bit over 10 degrees but nothing has been done about it. He went on to say that if FIA strips the championship from Kimi because of this, F1 is dead.

I here what Racing59 is saying about the British Motorsports Industry. Mind you if its won in such a way, would it really be as much of a benefit?

FIA really should do all they can to cover this up and deem the samples legal. Its the only outcome where damage can't really be done, as if enough hasn't already been done. It might not seem fair, but motorsport and its F1 industry isn't 'clean'.

Ital TV live from Interlagos : looks like drivers will keep points, while Teams will loose points...
