McLaren Brazil appeal deemed inadmissible

November 16, 2007

As reported at Formula1.com, the McLaren appeal has been rejected. The reason given is not that they were wrong, only that they were not allowed to appeal. Therefore, Williams and BMW get to break the rules with no retribution, and Ferrari get another world championship handed to them by the FIA. Grandprix.com has a good line on this story. Formula 1 is getting to be a joke because of the FIA’s mis-management and favouritism. Williams and BMW’s should have been disqualified from the Brazilian GP because they broke the rules on fuel temperature and gained an advantage from the breach. Hamilton should not have been moved up, and therefore Kimi would have retained the drivers championship. Instead, the FIA said it was a non-event. Ridiculous.
