Default Lewis Hamilton may still be World champion!

Both BMW's are being investigated for "fuel irregularites" If found guilty, both are disqualified, Lewis gets 5th and wins the world title.

You couldn't make this up!

No wind up - it looks like they are more than likely getting disqualified for using diesel instead of LRP

I think you are right you couldn't make this up, but i'm afraid formula 1 is in need of a big shake up at the top, its run by muppets, this season should be remembered for the tremendous efforts of Lewis Hamilton, but it is all tainted by the politics and it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. In my eyes the last 2 races have been seriously tainted, too many coincidences for it all to ring true !!

I mean it's the chumps who run F1 having a laugh at us after a few bottles of Champers.

"Bernie old bean... give the BBC a call and tell them the BMW's have been disqualified and that young negro chap has won the world title. I could do with a good belly laugh between these eastern European models sucking my shrivelled up love sausage "

If this really is true, its just a total farce for the championship. It should be decided on track, not in boardrooms who wins

Of course it should be decided on track. But if someones cheating and gains an unfair advantage, its not decided on the track is it? That's the point.

I think if the BMWs are disqualified it would be unfortunate.

I really wanted Lewis to win this, however like the bugry team who gave away two penalty gifts, Mclaren, with a supporting cast of Lewis completely cocked up the last two races.

Kimi won six GPs this year and deserves to win for holding his nerve right to the end. To lose it on a technicality would be ridiculous.
