oh my. well it was quite a good race in any case. my favorite part was the
pace car driver during the first few laps... he was FLYING around in that
giant unibody car.

> 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."
