Thank God Hamilton was disqualified! :D
So Brawn has 18 points, but Toyota isn't far behind with 11. Somehow Ferrari and McLaren combined have ZERO. WTF
So it was team orders then....allegdly, and not LHs decision. May have been in LHs interest to tell his team to go swivel when he received the orders http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/4/9115.html

Seems that running qualifying in three heats worked so well we're now running the race in three parts too. 1, On the track 2, In the steward's box 3, In Paris
I think they should have a race to see what positions they should have... Seems to me, that yet again no one knows what the hell is going on within the rules, and yet again we have confusion, resulting in Mclaren trying to clarify what to do ie the right thing, then realizing they had done the wrong thing, then tried to cover it up. So blame Mclaren if you like, I'am sure it will make a whole lot on here happy, I blame the F-wit in charge of the FIA, why because, there is still confusion over the rules, and always will be whilst he is in charge. And for the average fan, the whole thing just looks like a total joke, after 4 days changing the results, can you blame them.
Ladies and Gents--we have a liar for a World Champion!!! No suprises from McCheaters as we all know how they operate. Hamilton was asked if there were team orders and he said "No". But than turn out that was exactly the case....Poor, poor confused boy. F1 has officially become a circus.....
Maybe if the guys in Paris weren't so distracted by FOTA, sex scandals and the pursuit of money and such they'd be able to do their primary job. I'm glad that I didn't stay up all night to watch a race that hasn't ended yet
Oh dear we still have short memories on here Were were you when Micheal schumacher did worse than this? Through out his carrera right to his last season.
Steve it's very simple. Max the depraved sexual deviant has it out for McLaren. Maybe Ron turned him down for a spanking party. Maybe Lewis wouldn't come over so they could listen to Yanni and beat each other with clubs. Whatever the reason, it's obvious that McLaren will start each season with at least a 20 point deficit to the rest of the teams as long as Max is in charge.
The FIA are so predictable. So nothing comes as a surprise, this is just the start of them trying to manipulate the race results. The FIA will indeed do alot more to harm LH and Mcs charge, but that will just make any potential further WC even more the sweeter.
I was in front of TV--watching. But that was years ago. Now we are talking about something that happen days ago and involves LH and his whole team. Please try to keep up....
Dude, wtf has Michael Schumacher have to do with this? Is this really the best comeback you have? Bringing back Schumi? I understand that it still hurts seeing him spank you for half a decade, but give it a rest. Oh dear, we still have someone living in the past.....Hold on!!!! The McCheaters were liars in the past too. Or did you get confused just like little hamster in the McCheaters cockpit?
Ok then smart arse, what about a more recent event. When Alonso deliberately parked in front of LH at the pit stop. When asked if he did this on purpose he said he did not. And i am sure there were many many other incidents that we could think of fro last year regarding dishonesty. The point i am making is that there are no revelations on this thread, every team on the grid have miss lead in one way or another. And read my original response to Dimitar in the correct context. He was trying to say that the WC was dishonest, i was merely pointing out that even one of the greatest WCs in modern history did worse. Thats all.
I would agree with you that maybe all teams play games, but if so, how come it is always the McCheaters that get caught? So either they are the dumbest f**** out there (which I doubt) or simply the odds are seriously stacked against them, meaning they cheat 10 times more than the rest. And because we are discussing a particular case in here, not the history of unfair play in F1, let's stick to the subject. Hambone is not disqualified for passing, not passing, team orders or whatever other action of his or the team. He was disqualified for LYING!!!!! Plain and simple. And now inevitably, people will turn back and ask themselves "well, now that we know that he is capable of doing it, did he lie in China? Did he lie in Canada?" And since you like bringing Schumi in the picture, here is where you can draw a parallel line. Schumi maybe have deliberately driven into Hill. You are always going to find enough people in both camps on that one. But whether he did or did not it damaged his credibility in the years to follow. So expect the same to happen to Hambone now. It is done by his own doing and that is that. Otherwise I agree that FIA are well on the way ruining the sport.
If he really did lie, then it's deserved. If he didn't lie, then it's too bad. You'd think there would be some kind of rule that states Grand Prix results can not be changed after 24 hours...
Seems like a done deal. Liar Lewis got indeed DQ'ed. But who can blame him, after all Ron Dennis and his management team showed their young F1 star "the way" last season after the entire team almost got DQ'ed. Perhaps a proper punishment would be to have McLiar start the remaining races this season facing a pit corner.
How long ago we're we worried that F1 was becoming boring and that the passion was being drained from the sport? Be careful what you wish for.
So tell me. What excatly would Hamilton and Mclaren have to do in your book before you would accept they have done wrong? All this more sweeter bull and eveyone out to get him crap is stupid. They should be left alone to tell lies, copy documents and do whatever it takes. BLAH BLAH BLAH
