He should just fuck off over and drive nascars or something and take all the hype/bollocks with him, the yanks would lap him up
they already have lapped him up he is there/our tiger woods so to speak but of racing

What a joke, he lost, its over deal with it. He wasn't good enough on the day for whatever reason and thats why hes a loser and kimi is the winner with the title. Winning is winning losing means fuck all.

I think they should just let it go and concentrate on getting it right next year.

They'll never win an appeal. To quote:

The outcome has upset former world champion Damon Hill, who has accused F1's race stewards of exercising double standards.

He feels McLaren have been on the wrong side of FIA decisions on more than one occasion this season while other teams have escaped censure.

"It does get quite difficult to see where the consistency lies," Hill told Radio 5live.

"If you go back to the beginning of the season, McLaren's argument is that Ferrari won the very first race using a device which was later found to be illegal by the FIA.

"They removed it but the result stood.



If the FIA let Ferrari get away with that, there's no way they'll overturn this result against them.

Indeed, Hamilton has more chance of being appointed as grand wizard of the KKK than he has of being crowned world champion this year.

i think he did well to come back 10 places after his gearbox issue ...

however colder fuel could constitute an unfair advantage.
more in at pit stops more bhp and a few more no doubt..

Mclaren stuffed up by their bad deciaion not to fuel him to the end, think they thought lighter car could make up lost places.
so if its anyones fault lewis shouldd be complaining to the decision makers...

he should also not accept the title even if it does get handed to him.
be very gready to accept it now.
should be the bigger man and let kimmi keep it.
not really on to win by a disqualification , i would not want it that way..

I would be astonished if Hamilton has had anything at all to do with this.

I think this is a McLaren feeling somewhat victimised (arguably correctly) and just exercising their right to request an even hand.

I would imagine that McLaren would be satisfied with a showing of punishment albeit in the form of constructors points.

I may of course be wrong

2 wrongs don't make a right



















but 3 left's do

why complain now when the season is over? why not complain and get as much hype about it as possible at the start of the season?

oh yes, because they were cheating at the same time

PMSL at us all arguing about this.....

Lewis won`t give a flying fuck,cause all of this hype has just elevated him to hyper stardom while Kimi whinging arse will be the forgotten champion.......Bless him..

Plus on top of that it`s all helping to make Hamilton the most talked about person on the planet and his projected earnings from sponsorship/personal appearances/image rights,and just general bumlicking alone will make him over £60 million next year...

And that`s on top of his wages........


Give a Fuck ?

I don`t think so.....
