Conspiracy theory on F1 title decider, any one agree?

Question

FIA knew McLaren were guilty, so without expelling them from competition in 2008, came to a deal with Ferrari, handing them both the titles, albeit with some drama in Brazil (staged). If McLaren had won the title, FIA would have had to strip them of it and further expel them from the 2008 season. Not really a conspiracy, Hamilton gear shifting problem explains it self now :)

Answer 1

so what your saying is that 870 million viewers world wide per weekend which equals billions in advertising revenue per race, and we are going to risk loosing all of them if its known that there is no race at all but just a staged demo, which relies that the hundreds of people involved in the conspiracy to never tell, even though any one of them could write a book and make millions bringing the whole thing down,

or we could say that mclaren got caught cheating, and made the mistake of pissing off one of the people (Alonso) that had the ability to hang the team

Answer 2

The whole thing stinks if you ask me. Fry and Honda were involved, I'm sure of it. Renault has been proved to have had McLaren info and not been punished. the whole season has been one thing after another. I can see where the conspiracy theories are coming from, but IMO there were no agreements made. I think had there been then Ferrari would not be pursuing McLaren in the civil courts.

roll on next year when we can draw a line under the whole of this underhand off track politics or whatever you want to call it. Lets just have F1 back on the track where it belongs.

Answer 3

Yes i often thought the same thing. It seems far too much of a coincidence to me!! Like it seems that the set of event were in plausibly unlucky!! I do think Hamilton is amazingly talented though, however he does make rookie mistakes such as not protecting his Tyre's etc. Cant wait for next season when all of The driver aids are going to be removed from the cars, e.g. traction control. Should make for some very interesting races, especially the Japanese grand prix as it always seem to be pouring rain!! Overall though i would suspect some form of conspiracy!!

Answer 4

Conspiracy of not, I say we forget about this season and look forward to 2008.

I mean, a night race in Singapore, Alonso back in Renault, and Kovalainen teaming up with Hamilton, are more than enough reasons to get excited.

Answer 5

So following this to it's logical conclusion, Vettel and Webber were obviously told to run into each other in Japan so that Raikonnen would score enough points to keep the title race alive and Kovalainen lost his Renault seat as a punishment because he didn't let Raikonnen through and nearly ruined everybody else's hard work?

Or is that going a little too far...??

Answer 6

There was certainly a smell about things and it wasn't exhaust fumes. Hamilton's trip into the gravel in the pit lane looked even more suss than Schumi's "parking" in the middle of the track in Monaco qualifying.

Answer 7

But the FIA, Max and Bernie, they talk the talk. Doesn't mean they walk the walk. They don't have the guts, brain or consistency to do that.

Answer 8

kimi won the title fair and square

Answer 9

What a crap!!!!!!
