Hamilton won the race on a rainy last 2 laps, slipping and sliding all over the place. THEN he got disqualified because of not heeding to K. Raikonnen after cutting him on a chicane when trying to dice back and forth in the last two laps!!! McLaren is appealing the stewards decision...

I have to say I think it was a poor decision by the stewards. Kimi pushed Lewis wide which I think was the real cause of the problem. McLaren are saying their telemetry data shows that Lewis lifted off as he made sure Kimi could retain his lead and there was no real advantage. I hope McLaren prevail on the appeal. Best race for a while though.

Dare I say it...but Formula 1 will become Bormula 1 again as it is beginning to look "fixed" - any opportunity and McLaren get nailed...it is so obvious now, and the ITV commentary at night showed an interview with Mr Dennis ho basically said "it's just another one of those things - each time we just get through it" in similar words...
This is one of the best seasons ever, but I think they are scared of Lewis - at his age he is an exceptional driver an could be the next 3-5 world championship winner, and after the "Schuey processions" and "Bormula One" banding they want to steer clear for the future...
I'm sure the ruling body want to take it to the wire.
I wonder who runs the thing?
Bernie Ecclestone or the Italian godfathers? Every contentious decision appears to be coming out Pro ferrari, so when you are fighting not just other drivers and teams but the authorities as well, then you have no chance.
Even last year, when 250 million people could see in China that his rear tyre was "canvassing" they left him out, only to lose! That might have been the teams fault, but who knows who was forced...
It'll get to the stage where Lewis will join Ferrari, as it will be his only way of securing the championship. Good luck to him...
