But if they did have fuel temps 10 degrees or more lower it does add to the horsepower of the car. I hate to say this but if it is true than they should be disqualified. I think the steward do not want to change the outcome they are going to let McLaren appeal (which they did) and let someone else decide. It is my opinion that if this race was in the middle or the beginning of the season or for that matter if the outcome of their decision would not be earth moving the Sauber BMWs and the Williams would (and should) be disqualified. Now this is a real sh***y way for Hamilton to win, but cheating is cheating It can never be easy can it.

Just when I was thinking how well the stewards had done: not punishing Massa for his extra lap, not bringing out the safety car unnecessarily, nothing that could be interpreted as favouring any driver! I really hope that nothing comes of this. Really. Good grief – can this season get any madder?

There is no clear advantage of performance (cars get heavier and tyres grain more so they get slower) and there were previous cases were the drivers weren't punished. Even so, i should remember that in the last investigation before this one, the drivers weren't punished! Congratulations for the title Kimi (even if it's only in the track) Well, i believe that they will not be punished.
