McLaren’s Hamilton Spa appeal ruled inadmissible

hamspaThe FIA have thrown out Hamilton and Mclaren's appeal against the 25 second penalty which lost him the best race of the season and probably the last few years.

Article 152 of the International Sporting Code states that drive-through penalties are “not susceptible to appeal”.

McLaren out of '07 championship and fined $100m

The FIA have announced that McLaren will not score constructors’ championship points this year and face an unprecedented $100m fine for their role in the espionage case.
However Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso will still be allowed to score points towards the drivers’ championship.
McLaren will also not be allowed any constructor’s representatives on the podium for the rest of the year. #

Wow! On the face of it, these seems very harsh and I'd be interested to know the details of what happened.

Alonso vs Hamilton


Hehe, funniest advert for a while and hopefully an indication how Lewis and Fernando are as team mates - just with a little TV 'magic'.

Hamilton wins another great GP

Lewis Hamilton won the US GP. I think this might be a regular occurrence, well done Hamilton - great race. Good fight with Alonso, especially the out-breaking manoeuvre into the first corner where Lewis edged Alonso out. Also of note, Jenson Button's good drive in a clearly underpowered car and n00b Vettel's performance. It's only a matter of time before the superlatives run out for Hamilton.

Hamilton wins possibly the best GP in years

Hamilton wins his first GP, and what an action packed race it was too, with 4 safety cars and a big crash for Kubica amongst many others going off and Alonso barely making it around corner 1 on most laps.

Then, just after the track went clear again, Kubica had a horrible crash in the very quick left-hander prior to the hairpin on lap 27, his BMW Sauber hitting the outside wall and then rolling all the way down to the hairpin entry. As the safety car came out again the Pole was released from the wreckage, mercifully conscious and lucid, and was hospitalised with a suspected broken ankle.

Oh yes, well done Sato, fantastic overtake on Alonso.

FOM saw fit to remove loads of videos from Youtube - the fools.
