Formula One

Does this mean we could be driving road cars with better technoligy than an F1 car a few years from now?

Is it the way to go or do you think th FIA are messing about with things again like they did with groved tyres.

This season in F1 stinks! I think the sport has far too much money & corruption going on in it!
Ron Dennis said that they didn't fill Hamilton's car to the end because it saved 10 seconds on running a heavy fuel load with slower lap times?!?
I'm no mathematician but a pit stop takes around 20 seconds!!
I'm sure tyres would have gone to the end of the race.

Also China why would you risk point leader on balding tyres because you were worried about other teams pit strategies.
He could have gone to Brazil with only needing a couple of points to have the Championship in his rookie season!
Is this bad decision making by Ron & the team?!?
Do they want Lewis not have too much too soon?!?

What happened? It's as if even the Gods were against Lewis winning, everything that COULD go wrong, DID go wrong, still well done Hamilton for going all out to TRY his best. He made it an exciting game and for a bit it even looked like he might be in with a chance. Much as I wanted Lewis to win, I am glad that Kimi came first as he REALLY deserved that win,

People call Alonso selfish, but forget he was the defending Champion.

Why do people think he came to McLaren? To sucumb to a #2 driver a help a rookie take his title???

I don't get it. Did people really expect Fernando to willingly take the #2 position in the team and let a rookie take over? it boggles my mind.

otherwise this mess will just go on and on
bmw and williams will appeal if they lose driver and constructor points, citing mclaren as cheats who's driver were allowed to keep their points.
ferrari will appeal aginst the sanctions given to mclaren citing that if bmw and williams lose their drivers points then mclaren should lose their driver points.
and if bmw and williams and ferrari win their appeal and mclaren lose their drivers points, mclaren will then appeal against that descion .
and the merry go round will just go on and on and on!
so should RD and mclaren just move on and try to win next year on the track.

Ok, maybe because of it he lost the title, but so what.
Recently people have bemoaned the lack of real racing in F1 and now we have someone who will go for a win regardless and you call him for it.
Personally, I think it shows character that he feels second is nowhere.
I've always said I'd much rather watch a driver make an error chasing a win rather than watch someone who plays the percentages and lets a win pass by.
Kimi had done this in the past, let us not forget the dreaded 1 set of tyres per race rule a few years ago. With a damaged tyre Kimi chased a win until his suspension exploded and put him out of the race.
Do you really want to see and end to such obvious single mindedness towards winning?

Sorry English, but you should have trusted in Fernando Alonso... instead of Hamilton.
now you lost the championship. When Alonso leaves Mclaren, we will see if Hamilton is so good as you say...

you have learned a lesson. Good luck next time.

Kimi or is it, when will we finally know, god only knows. If it turns out to be Hamilton (and I am British) it would be a travesty added to an already controversial season.

So what happens if Mclaren win the appeal, then Ferrari will appeal and so it will go on. Its frankly pathetic. What the hell is happening to F1 ???

After the race, Lewis Hamilton's daddy spoke to Peter Windsor on camera. I can't find a video of it.

Anyway, Anthony Hamilton said something about how Lewis beat all the other drivers, not only on track, but in terms of style, character, class and attitude! I think he said something about "respect" in there as well.

What? WTF? Is it just me, or is that an offensive thing to say to other drivers? Did anyone else see it? What do you think?

I saw a snippet of the conversation and I thought he looked bloody serious, almost angry, when he made those comments.

The only reason why Kimi won was because Massa let him win. Massa should have won the race, Kimi Second and Alonso third, which would mean Alonso world Champion.

Alonso has had no team mate all year and should have been the Champ, but Massa let Raikkonen take the lead. Totally unfair.

Alonso has been screwed by teammate Hamilton, team McLaren, Ferrari and FIA. Pretty sad.

I think that Max Mosely was speaking the truth when he said that the $100,000,000.00 fine imposed on Maclaren for spying was insufficient and in equity, suspension from racing until 2009 was more appropriate. Also, I believe that Max Mosely was overruled because all the other teams would have suffered by such a judgement because the sport would have been too severely damaged and sponsors would have been pulling out across the board. Is it possible that the FIA persuaded Maclaren to accept a behind-the-scenes deal to throw the Championship in favour of Kimi Räikkönen and Ferrari – the injured party in the spying scandal?

This is not so farfetched if you consider unbelievable events in Shanghai and at Interlagos, not to mention the true amount of money Maclaren would have lost were they to be booted out of F1!

1 if mclaren win their appeal and williams and bmw drivers are thrown out for cheating and hamilton wins ,then one could argue mclaren drivers should also be thrown out for cheating.

2 If bmw and williams are excluded will they appeal against the fia and this sorry case will then carry on well into next year.

should mclaren just drop this appeal and try and win next year on the track?

When McLaren kick him out? Ferrari won't have him. Maybe he can go to Honda??? (Or maybe it's back to F2?).

If Lewis Hamilton is the best thing in the 'sport' at the moment because he's the 'best driver' then why shouldn't he 'race' in a super aguri car next season?
What i'm trying to say is that because it seems that only ferraris and mclarens win the races, isn't it the car manufacturer you're cheering?
Jenson Button and David Coulthard still 'race' in formula 1 but they've not even been close so, really, what's the point in Formula 1?

A true fan may take a liking to a particular team or driver and will be pleased if they do well and feel for them if they do not. They will not become a faceless member of a sycophantic crowd who, if attending a race acts childishly, dressing up, waving flags and booing anyone but their leader if they do well. In short a true fan is mentally independent, fair minded and big enough to acknowledge a good performance by any competitor. In ten years F1 has really gone downhill in sporting terms and the often uninformed hype provided by the media together with the obsessive and neurotic reactions of some so called fans is becoming intolerable, as are the attempts by many in the sport to question others on the flimsiest grounds. Does anyone else see all this as the total ruination of our sport by money and the cult of celebrity? The latter in my opinion something that only the young and impressionable or downright thick subscribe to.

Please don't get me wrong - I used to be a Ferrari fan (from Gilles til Schuey joined!) but after the race, my husband and I were joking that any problem or appeal post-race would go Ferrari's way! If data from the FIA show fuel is illegal, surely BMW & Williams should be disqualified. However, if they had been thrown out, Hamilton would have been World Champion, not Ferrari. Hmm - so this fuel decision makes Ferrari World Champions! I wonder if the result would have been the same if the fuel had been used by McLaren and Hamilton was world champion?!! And surely, as the FIA is so keen on saying, 'breaking the law is breaking the law', the teams should have been disqualified!! Look at the official F1 website for details! formula1.com/news/headlines/2007/10/7023.html
(As an aside, does anyone else think it is odd that Raikkonen and Massa swapped positions?! I thought every driver should go for the best finishing place, and that teams were not supposed to have any form of favouritism

I sure wish the appeal won't go through. Anyone with similar thoughts on how "unaccepting" Ron Dennis is? Let's face it, Fernando congratulated Kimi in the interview session. That was the first thing he did. Lewis' quoted words were: I'm coming back stronger next year. I like the sound of that! But then...

Ron started the post season with an appeal to dethrone Raikkonen. Well, you can't blame him for trying, but with the CONFIRMATION already processed and everything, I think he should just accept it like what his drivers did.
