This F1 season has brought up controversy after controversy. Looks like Schumacher is giggling to himself that he is thankfully not involved in all this. As per the latest, the very Driver's Championship Title is at stake. After McLaren's info exchange and the sacking of important technicians from McLaren and Ferrari, there is one more twist now, this time, involving BMW Sauber and Williams. McLaren Merc filed a complaint saying these both teams ran on fuel at a temperature lower by around 10 degrees. Sounds like not much of a big deal here, but then, if we have to go by the rules, it does make a difference.
A lower temperature means, the same amount of fuel occupies a lesser volume and hence leaves some space for more fuel. This way, the driver can run on more fuel and last longer on the track, maybe a 2 pit-stop strategy might take him to the finish line.
If by any chance, McLaren's case is considered and the BMW and Williams teams are found guilty, they might be docked off their points in the last Brazilian Grand Prix. Because both the BMW's finished before Hamilton in this race, their disqualification means Hamilton moves up and gets more points. This also means, he finishes with more Championship Points than Kimi Raikkonen and wins the Title.
So, this particular controversy can make things really big and I fear, Kimi will not only lose a hard-earned Title, but Hamilton will win it in an unconventional method and McLaren's brand-image might droop down as well. It'll be like a sad end to an exciting story and a 10 degrees temperature difference will change the winner of the Title many days after the season got over....
well as far as now there is nothing going on ...i think mclaren are fighting a loosing battle..
