Anyone following this besides me?? $100 million fine on McLaren, of which they may only pay half that due to the fact the World Governing Body rule them ineligible for this year's constructor's title(equivalent to Nascar's manufactuer title which Chevy wrapped up last week at Richmond.) What a nasty fight, I do not agree with how Ferrari went about it and how they are gladly accepting the constructor's title. I would feel embarrased to get it the way they are getting it added on to the fact that the spy stuff started inside their own shop. It's not like Ferrari hasn't tried to cheat before, they were the only one's who whined about Renault's new wing on top of the intake and got F1 to force Renault to take it off last year. Yet, Ferrari will come up with something and be allowed to continue to run it even with all the other teams complaining.
The drivers got off clean even though 2 of the 3 were known, as evidence did prove, to have knew their team had acquired some special notes. |

Yeah i watch F1. Havent paid that close of attention to the afforementioned saga, but it sucks the way it was handeled. Ferrari needs to face some justice for their cheating too.
This race coming up should be good. Specially casue i like all 3 drivers going for the cup. I cant choose just one. |

| And it's supposed to rain in Sao Paulo all weekend, plus the FIA has a special interest in whether McLaren is blackballing Alonso. They are placing a watchdog in the garage to make sure McLaren is giving both an equal chance.... |

Yeah i read about the special watch dog.... but mclarren seems to welcoming it. As they should. I'd like to see an equal equipment race. Should be real good. Hopefully i'll get to watch it.
Who you pulling for? |

Well it was hamiltons to throw away and he did. Silly englishman. Seems to be a theme today.... as their Rugby team lost to my HOME COUNTRY...... SOUTH AFRICA! Rugby world cup champs! Yeah! twice in 12 years!!
Anyway, I watched most of the race, it was a race... if it were'nt for the championship drama, i would have been boring!

| By the finishing gaps, looks like it was a normal race, boring. Other than the fuel blunder by McLaren which I cannot understand. Did they only penalize Hamilton or did they penalize him and Alonso by which Alonso recovered and Hamilton did not?? |

| Mclaren had no infractrions. The BMW's Fuel temps were off. The stewards decided not to penalize. Mclarren is appealing that decision, trying to get the BMW's DQ'd which would move hamilton up to 4th spot, and give the title to him..... You and i both know how often the stewards are overturned...... So id say nothing further to come on the mtter more than likely. |
