OFFICIAL CHINA GP THREAD WITH SPOILERS UNDER INVESTIGATION

[kevin ritson]

In amongst all the recriminations, there's another GP on this weekend. So investigations excepted, will Lewis get the job done or will we be on tenterhooks for another fortnight?

And who's up for the race win, surprises etc?

[_Batty_]

Hamilton will get enough points to win the championship, but the FIA suddenly announce that he will be deducted 10 points for unsafe driving behind the safety car.
all leaving it to the last race.
again.

title will be decided in Brazil me believes

[carinatauk]

And if that happens they will lose all credibility.

I personally think that F1 is a sham anyway but if this happens it will prove that it is

[FourWheelDrift]

Hamilton will get enough points this weekend to win the Championship but in a strange twist of fate the FIA discover that he has been wearing his lucky Ferrari printed underpants all season. Ferrari protest that they were giving him an unfair advantage since their own drivers underpants are of identical construction and design. He'll get just enough points deducted to send the title race to final GP in Brazil.

I doubt if its Lewis's underwear that is the problem, he has MS pictures on his bedroom wall, allowing him to have closely studied the set up of previous ferraris, so he must be cheating (FFS he even has the cheek to parade genuine Ferrari Vodafone stickers on his car this season), stoning is too good for him

It was the same in japan, and Lewis got Pole. Besides, isnt 4th place enough for him to get the championship?

As long as they don't drop him 10 places or 10 points

I'm still amazed buy how 3 drivers, 2 different cars, 2 different teams, god knows how many different laps and just 0.023 seconds over 4km.

Think about that for a second.

You sure they are two different cars

[uriel]

Could Hamilton be last of the front runners due to practicing/testing with a heavy fuel load in anticipation of starting outside the top ten and being filled to the brim?

Very clever theory.

i wonder how many people were thinking about it within 0.023 of a second apart.... le mans is the same, i cant remember the difference between 1st and 2nd on the grid this year but it was only a second or so over a 3m30s lap.

have to agree with the others here though, i fully expect the FIA decision regarding lewis and the safety car to be announced today only for them to say we will review it after the season end which would be most amusing as they can make a decision regarding kubica during the race but a decision regarding the potential world champion will take two months!!!

According to practice 2 that would indicate LH would destroy them all on low fuel which I can't quite see given recent performance compared to Alonso.

[Miss Pitstop]

Bearing in mind it's Friday afternoon and my brain hurts after being with the accountant all day, what are the sums which mean Hamilton will win on Sunday?

Can't cope with any more figures in my brain so can someone help!!
