    Oops. I meant... It's obvious that Glock handed Hamilton the championship. Toyota had a deal with McLaren whereas McLaren would get Glock in 2010, since they want a German, and in return Toyota would get McLaren's KERS system and possibly Heikki. Glock knew his roll the entire race and when it was most ideal he did what he had to do to ensure his 2010 drive.

    Also, Massa ran over Glock's kitten a few years ago and this was payback.

    Or... stating a point of view that many people have...

    I just thought it was severe. I've seen some people get banned for things that others do without consequence. No biggie I guess, just life, the beatings will come when they come.

    Right on.

    I wanted to just use the red/yellow cards, but they leave a permanent mark on a user's profile (sorry Senna1994), so I figured a brief temp ban will get the message across. Jim will be back today.

    Jim knows F1 very well and I'm sure deep down he doesn't believe Glock did this on purpose. But it sure irritates people. BTW: I'm not a Hamilton fan, but I was glad the travesty of Fuji was reversed.

    Rather than dwell on the conspiracy-believers' opinions, I am more impressed with the Fchat members who actually understand how hard it was for Glock to drive in those conditions on slicks.

    Of course, it is easier to point at the end result than to accept the fact that Glock was actually going faster than his sister car (both dry tires) in Jarno Trulli the last 3 laps.

    You're all wrong. Bernie Madoff was behind it all. Madoff took his 50 billion profit on his 2007 Raikkonen title bet, then re-upped on a Massa 2008 bet. When Glock found out about it, he wanted in on the deal. Madoff figured Toyota was no threat to his plan and shut him out. So Glock let Hamilton by on the last corner, and Madoff was out 50 Burundis.

    Andreas, no worries about the Red/Yellow cards, we are all good. Jim knows what he is speaking about most of the time, LOL. I find his posts from various F1 sites very useful.
