Fuel appeal verdict, Kimi might loose his world champion title to Lewis Hamilton.

Everybody knows that BWM and Williams are considered to be penalized at the Brazilian Grand Prix but recently McLaren is seriously considering not to penalize Williams and BMW after they used the fuel which was below the permitted temperature. It’s just a matter of time if FIA upholds the appeal, Kimi will loose his title to Mclaren’s Lewis Hamilton.

However Hamilton says he has no interest in wining a world championship title on court which he lost on the track.

“It would feel weird after Kimi did such a fantastic job in the last two races,” Hamilton said. “He won here yesterday and to have that taken away would be cruel. It wouldn’t be good for the sport. I am sure the team are doing the appeal for good reasons but, as a team, we want to win it on the track. As a driver, it is over and done with - the championship is settled.”

Lewis finished seventh in Brazilian Grand Prix, the last race of the season, behind Williams Nico Rosberg, Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld of BMW. If all of them are excluded from the race, Lewis might be promoted from seventh position to fourth. This will secure him the championship without a doubt.

The temperature of the fuel used in Williams and BMW supposed to be within 10 degrees of the ambient air temperature and It is found on the pit-stops that both BMW and Williams were using the fuel with the temperature under 10 degrees. So what’s the catch about colder fuel? Well it makes the refueling process quicker and gives the car a small power boost. If the car gets faster for a fraction of a second, things can easily be turned upside down, we are not talking about marathons, we are talking about Formula one where fraction of a second is enough to secure pole position.

However there was insufficient evidence to prove that they used the cold fuel and a FIA spokesman had said that even if something goes wrong, changing the race result is an infringement of the rules.

Although I’m a big fan of Kimi Raikkonen, I like Lewis because of his undeniable talent and gentle behavior. I think Nico Rosberg, Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld deserve the places they secured after such tremendous hard work on track.
