Will fuel decide the title?
And more to the point, should it?
This season has had it’s fair share of FIA judgments that have impacted the sport in a negative way, will the fuel irregularity be the last sting in the tail for the 2007 season?
I’m actually glad that Kimi took the title (as it currently stands), he drove well for the second half of the season, and after all the title is well overdue for the ‘Ice Man’. Yes it would have been nice to see the young Brit Hamilton triumph over the more illustrious competition, but it seemed it was not to be.
However both of the BMW’s and the Williams of Nico showed irregularities, the fuel on board the car at the stop’s was deemed to be outside of regulation 6.5.5, where the fuel has to be within 10 degrees C of the ambient track temperature. It seems however that the stewards of the course could not positively say what the ambient temperature actually was.
