McLaren Brazil appeal deemed inadmissible. Its challenge to the decision of stewards at last month’s Brazilian Grand Prix not to penalize rival teams over alleged fuel irregularities has been thrown out by the FIA International Court of Appeal on Friday.
That means Kimi Raikkonen stays as the F1 World Champion for 2007 and Lewis Hamilton has to try again next year.
In a dramatic race in Sao Paolo on Sunday, Kimi Raikkonen beats the odds and wins the F1 World Championship by just one point! He finished the race 1st, Massa 2nd, Alonso 3rd and Hamilton 7th - exactly what he needs to win the world championship title.
Kimi Raikkonen - 110 points (100 +10 points)
Fernando Alonso - 109 points (103 + 6 points)
Lewis Hamilton - 109 points (107 + 2 points)
Kimi Raikkonen looks ecstatic after winning the world championship!
The penultimate race in China was one hell of a race that saw all three drivers in F1 now lining up for the final race in Brazil this coming Sunday with a chance to win the championship.
Who will win the race? Will Kimi Raikkonen beat the odds and win the race just like the first race in Melbourne? Will Alonso prove the people at McLaren wrong by winning the race? Or will the rookie, Hamilton win to become the greatest rookie of all-time? Only time will tell.
