F1 the farce
One of the more unsportsmanlike acts occurred on a race track in Brazil this morning. Felipe Massa was on track to claim a stunning upset in the world drivers championship over short odds favourite Lewis Hamilton. He WAS on track until Toyota driver Timo Glock was told by his team to slow down and allow Lewis Hamilton to pass him on the last lap of the race. Timo did as ordered and drove the last lap of the race 18 seconds slower than his previous lap thus allowing Hamilton to claim 5th position and the F1 drivers championship by a single point.
Disgusting!
How can this be allowed to stand? Hamilton should be stripped of his title immediately and it should be handed over to Massa. The McLaren team should be fined and the Toyota team should be fined and suspended for two races next season.
The shame
