Fisi declared winner in Brazil

Giancarlo Fisichella was declared the winner of the Brazilian GP due to an error my the timekeepers .

Like I said before, it doesn't bother me. He was leading on the track at the time.

Besides, I think if Kimi was determined to be the winner, there was some question on the number of points he would have scored (since the race wouldn't have been at 3/4's distance). Schumacher was making a big stink about this. (Funny how well he can remember the rule book when someone else does something. ) By coming in second KR may have netted 3 more points than he would have received by winning a shortened race.

Cheers, BT

Yeah, it doesn't bother me either. Fisichella is a good guy and some say he is the second best driver on the grid. I'm a big Kimi fan, but still, it's good for Fisi. Kimi will always win another race, probably lots of races. But this might be Fisichella's only win. It would have been nice if he could have enjoyed it on the podium.
