>McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen may be stripped of his Brazilian Grand Prix
>victory, following new evidence released by the FIA this morning.

>The Finn was declared winner of the race, which was red-flagged on lap 55
>following the shunt of Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso. However, sources
>claim Fisichella had already started his 56th lap, which would overturn the
>results, making him victorious.
>
>A statement from the FIA read:
>"The FIA has received evidence which suggests that, contrary to the
>information supplied by the time-keepers at the Brazilian Grand Prix, car
>no. 11 (Fisichella) had started his 56 th lap before the race was stopped.
>If this proves to be the case, the race classification would be that at the
>end of the 54 th lap and not at the end of the 53 rd lap as published.
>
>In accordance with Article 179(b) of the International Sporting Code, the
>stewards of the Brazilian Grand Prix will re-convene on Friday 11 April at
>11.00 hrs at the FIA headquarters in Paris to review the results of the
>event. All competitors who would be affected by any change to the
>classification are being invited to attend."
>
>The race win on Sunday was Raikkonen's second, giving him a total of 26
>points in the Drivers' Championship. Should the result be overturned, this
>will decrease to 24, giving him a 9-point lead over team-mate, David
>Coulthard."
