Hurrah! Sincerely - that's great news
Well done Kimi!

Edit - Sky's news ticker hasn't updated yet..

 

[Mr Men]

RAI still saying there has been no decision and that BMW and Williams are still meeting with the stewards.

Well its better this way than a cheap Championship win via someone else's misfortune.

 

[Domo]

What's going on? I'm beginning to doubt the article on the Eurosport link. Watching Sky and they're still saying there's a chance Lewis could win..?

 

[Sagalout]

As much as I wanted Hamilton to win, it would be wrong to take the title from Kimi over something like this. I dont think Hamilton would want to win it this way either. His time will come for him to win it in the right way,

Really. Kimi's won 2 more races than Lewis. He deserves the championship as much if not more.

No you took me out of context, I meant Lewis. It's a cheap way to win for him as its of someone elses misfortune (BMW). Kimi won outright in a perfectly straightforward way.

You aren't the only one. Don't usually use eurosport as a source, but that was a good 15 mins ago and nothing else has been heard. If something was official, all news agencies would be on the case.

It's a rich mans sport.

I'd rather they showed GP2 than F1 for a drivers spectacle.

 

[Slam62]

Well number one there's no way they will do this ..... but

If you ever go to a F1 event, all the other races are a better spectacle than F1. I've never yet attended an F1 race that was better than the GP2/F3000 race.

This year has all but killed a 27 year love and following of the circus.

 

[el_dazza]

5live say if anything does happen, appeals and counter-appeals could drag it out until november 15th, when a champion must be decided.

Sorry Tom1138 - a little too hasty on my part!
I will be amazed if the FIA eminate those 3 from the results handing the championship to LC but I guess rules are rules.

I briefly heard the same thing happened to Schumacher some years back and he wasn't eliminated.

and if it was mclaren they would have threw the book at them and excluded them from the 2008 season, ive had it with the FIA and F1.
