Sports Personality of the year is going to be a bit short on plus points...
Imagine Gary Linkeker.
'Well, what a year for British Sport... In football, no one reaches Euro2008 (probable). England's Rugby team galant losers in the rugby world cup, Englands cricketers get trounced in the Windies, and Lewis Hamilton grasps defeat from the jaws of victory in formula1. Let's just wind the program up and go home!
Not pleasant, especially when you look at the tide of obesity raging over the country and that most Premier football clubs hardly have an Englishman in their squads, never mind the first teams!
At least this year there was some excitement in F1. I feel a bit sorry for Lewis as it would have been amazing if he'd won the Championship. The race would have been amazing if he'd made it back, but alas it was not to be. You can never count on anything in F1.
if it was the race stewards who decided they'd be disqualified but the FIA and Max Mosley are Ferrari lap dogs and will intervene. Plus if they did disqualify them, Ferrari would appeal.
End of the day if they have gained an advantage or altered the result they should be out, simple as. Anyone get the feeling no one has won this drivers championship. Whoever is crowned now will be a paper champion and subject to questions like "do they think they really won" "can you really say you are world champion", what a farce.
Here's what to do, sit Hamilton and Kimi into a neutral car say a Williams. 10 laps round a neutral circuit and winner takes all. Attach some kind of weapons system to the car to bring in extra viewers, plus the drivers have to drive with no helmets so you can see the look of pain in their eyes. Then they would have earned the right to be called the ultimate driving champion.
