Ferrari weren't supposed to have complained about Lewis in the first place,and the verdict should have nothing to do with Ferrari.Also this appeal looks to me like a kangaroo court.The same organisation that made the decision now hears the appeal against it.Are the FIA really going to upset its ally (Ferrari)? Going to go against its own stewards? Wreck the authority of its stewards? Make a championship less close?
We'll all know it.. Tomorrow..
That would be a good climax in a drama serie

way i see it is McLaren are appealing for the sake of bring their point across that they didnt deserve it. its kind of obvious they were never gonna get the decision overturned and hamilton didnt do any favours with what he told to Tozzi (kudos to him for sayin it). McLaren had to put up with enough over the past few years i think to just "move on" yet again from a decision they think is unfair against them.

I´ve heard in the afternoon or early evening.
I hope they give him the points back and this inexpressibly saga ends.

That's chanting, not singing.
Song chorus:
"Was it ever going to be
Any other way?
..
No"
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.

In recent history, the only team that has won an appeal against the maFIA is, well, the mafia itself, aka scuderia ferari.

Well I daresay we will be hearing maFIA, FIAt, and Ferrari International Assistance a hell of a lot.. but the thing is it won't change anything. So keep cursing in your head. We don't want a repeat of post-Belgium.

YAY!
Lets all say it together
Happy to see the rules being followed, and that the penalty stands.
