Anyway, Hamilton and Dennis have already achieved what they really wanted:

Hamilton: "I finished second in the world championship. I beat my team-mate under extremely difficult circumstances. I beat the two-time world champion. That was the goal."

Even Al0nso doesn't agree with the decision to appeal:
"It would be a joke, and we've had too many already," he told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser. "If something like that happened, it would end up burying the sport."

These guys haven't got any class? What a bunch of pathetic losers.

F1's Lance Bass has demonstrated to have much more class than all these supposedly English gentlemen.

It's so funny when stewards decided not to punish Mclaren when they use 2 sets of wets on Friday he didn't come out and say the stewards stands on the Maccie side.

Yeah, they didn't do anything to Hamilton, Button or Sato, well, they couldn't use the wet tires in the sun, (zero penalty there) and $21,000 for the team is less than they spend on lunch, so that's basically no penalty at all, so if they did penalize them for the fuel issue, they should follow suit and give them a money penalty and it wouldn't make a difference in the points either...

When did Hamilton become an asshole? He just lost the championship and he has a smile on his face.

Yea, he said he beat the world champion but that is after 4 months of turmoil with his ass fuck teammate. And now Alonso is a gentlemen? PUHLEASE, he is trying to save face for all the f-ups he did this year. So easily forgotten he tried to blackmail his boss. This was a great race and Im glad Kimi won (actually amazing that he made up 17 points), even though I did want Lewis to take it. At least one dream did come true, Alonso aint champ.

Awesome race, awesome season.

I suppose I understand fundamentally why McLosers want to appeal the decision, but I don't understand how that would help them in the long run? They've admitted to racing with a tainted car - but they keep on carrying on as if a posthumous championship title win would increase their reputation? If anything I feel that - especially with Ferrari's global popularity - if Hamilton won the championship because of some pencil pushing bullshit where is the pride in that? After the performance he put on at the Brazilian GP? I would be to ashamed to show my face until next spring testing. They need to cut this BS out, I doubt anybody is actually rooting for them besides the "suits" at McLaren.

No matter what happens Kimi is my world champion. Trophies & paper can't change that in my mind.

In this video we can see L. Hamilton hitting...the button that switches the pitlane speed limiter on and off?


Button number 2:

Maybe that's why the car suddenly slowed down?

he doesn't have much to choose, as it was said in the latin broadcast, Alstronzo prefers Kimi to win rather than Hamilton.
