Can be done about what? I don't get your question.
Anyways, three putt may be on to something, maybe the stewards do favor hamilton.

It says that Ferrari are still bad losers and after trying to destroy the only team better than them, they've run out of excuses for their failing to win. Every team knew that it was pouring down with rain. Every team knew that the race was likely to start behind the safety car due to the exremely dangerous conditions. Common sense told the teams that they needed "Extreme Wets" and not "Wets". Wets are what used to be known as "Intermediates" and "Extreme Wets" used to be called "Wets". Prior to 2007, Ferrari would have started a race like this with "Wets" and therefore they surely must have had the intelligence between them to use the same tyres regardless of what they are called. Once again, Ferrari are calling "CONSPIRACY!" If such an E-Mail existed, with such an order, was it only Ferrari that received the E-Mail late and did all the other teams get the E-Mail on time? I doubt it! It's more likely that the Stewards had noticed the Ferraris sliding everywhere but on the track and had sent an "Urgent" E-Mail to Jean Todt telling him that the tyres were dangerous and ordering him to change them. Ferrari should be pleased that they did change the tyres as they got some points. If they didn't change the tyres, they would have got nothing but two smashed cars and maybe one or both drivers injured. Sore Losers!
three putt - what Championship? You mean you are actually proud that Ferrari have won over Red Bull, Honda, Terra Rossa etc. I don't think it's anything worth boasting about. No wonder they set up McLaren, they needed to get rid of the only competition that they had as they were losing that competition badly and all their previous complaints to the FIA were unsubstantiated.

This was raised in the commentary during the course of the race, and the commentators stated that even they had been made aware, every other team had been made aware so why were Ferrari acting as if they were ignorant of the conditions. Ferrari came unstuck and as usual try to wriggle and jiggle - it was only thanks to brilliant driving that they got a podium (even though I don't particularly like him).

Like I said in an earlier post, I think the stewards clearly favor Hamilton. Ferrari got screwed, well, so be it. It's too late to do anything and it's inconsequential. Ferrari won the constructors title and Hamilton has the drivers title.
I can't stand Hamilton. I think he has just gotten so arrogant and disrespectful to other drivers. If anything it will get worse now that he is world champ.

The rest of the teams knew, nothing can be done, thank goodness. Edit..........Three putt it should read "as I said in an earlier post" and, stop whining.

I think they should have used their heads.
Who needs email when you have eye sight.
Oh yeah, I can feel the rain.
