'05 C55 AMG
OT: F1 Championhsip

Wow looks like we have an exiting finale on our hands in Brazil. Who do you think will take the title??? KIMI has to finish 1st with Hamilton finishing no better than 6th. Then theres the defending champ Alonso... I'm obviously rooting for the prancing horse to have a 1-2 finish and the rookie a DNF.
p.s. Any comments on the $1mil fine and all constructors points stripped from mclaren? I think they deserved it.

I agree with Lewis "DNF" result. I think it was a $100 MM fine.

I just been wondering if McLaren can make installment payments on that $100,000,000. Say Oh, I don't know, spread out over the next 99 years.

Wouldn't that bankrupt most medium sized corporations?

I hope Kimi will take the championship. He´s my fellow countryman and i think McLaren does not deserve it at all.

Referring to Ron Dennis, McLaren should be able to pay their 100mil fine without problems. It is about 1/4 of their annual turnover btw...

The fine has already been paid in full.

Last I checked it was called "The Drivers Championship." So I think the title goes to the winning "Driver." To take Hamilton's honor away after having driven a brilliant season would be totally unfair. He should not be held accountable for what his crooked team mate did or what some employees tried to do. The first real mistake he made was last race regarding his tire and that is 1/2 the teams fault. In all my years of motor sport viewing I have never seen a car come into the pits with cords showing. For some reason McLaren pushed the limit way to far or their chassis was far harder on tires than any other at that venue.

The team was already fined and they lost all the "Constructors Points" so the team has their punishment for the year.

Hamilton deserves his recognition for what he has achieved. The car has no"Ferrari Technology" in it so why should Hamilton be kept from winning on the basis that they are cheating. Yes they did many things wrong regarding that book of info but Hamilton deserves respect as a driver.
