Exciting race, gumption and strategy kept the final race everything! It also saved the entire season - the focus was finally off who is and who isn't cheating!
Now, post race fuel shenanigans! You know the details.
Quote from BBC:
"The total advantage for each car over the race distance was almost certainly no more than a second.
However, there is a precedent that could be used by race stewards not to exclude them.
In 1995, the Benetton-Renault of Michael Schumacher and the Williams-Renault of David Coulthard were initially disqualified from first and second places in the Brazilian Grand Prix because their fuel did not conform to samples approved by the FIA.
But a week later the FIA reinstated the drivers' points but docked the teams their constructors' points."
And from the same source:
"Excluding the cars would risk turning one of the most exciting championship finales in F1 history into a farce."
So, lets share some thoughts - keep it Hyde Park!
