@totalgsm, I would never have guessed! 
I've just been watching a few clips in the run up to the race where they show the questionable decisions by the stewards this season, all of which have gone in Ferrari's favour
Kimi got no penalty for taking Sutil out of the race in Monaco and yet Lewis got a penalty for taking Kimi out of the race in the pitt light incident in Montreal
Ferrari were just given a fine for releasing Philipe into the pitt lane dangerously at Valencia when another drivre (didn't catch the name) was given a 10 second stop-go penalty for doing exactly the same thing
and then incredibly giving Boardais a 25 second penalty (which effectely granted Philipe an extra point) for what most say was a straightforward racing incident
not to mention that 25 second penalty for Lewis getting out of the way of Kimi so as to avoid a crash, and then doing his best to give back any benefit
surely anyone with half a brain can see a pattern here which allows Ferrari to either not lose points, or to actually gain them in each of these cases!

@Masseur
I'm truly disgusted with FIA!
This year they've really come out and shown their bias which is seriously damaging to the sport.
I'm actually a BMW man (partially, because I drive one) but I want McLaren to win this one. As I said before, Hamilton has brought the spark back to F1- even though FIA is trying its damn best to rob him of this title.
I also think that McLaren have one hell of a car right now, combine that with Hamilton's driving skill and you've a great recipe for success.
I guess from now on I'll be rooting for both BMW and McLaren.
Time to go, the race is starting!

CONGRATULATIONS LEWIS!
Bloody well done indeed!
Oops! I spoke too soon, FIA may penalise him for having it easy today.

I sense a hint of cynicism here.
Well done Lewis. If he wins the championship, it will be up there with James Hunts (RIP) win in '76 IMHO

What? Are you a Ferrari fan?
Anyways, this is where it gets really explosive. Seven points ahead, Massa's home turf next and a number of drivers against you.
It would be great if he (Hamilton) snatches pole position in qualifying race to place himself in a much much better position to lift the championship.
Really bad luck for Heiki. He could've made life difficult for the ferraris had he kept the number 4 position and had a problem free car.

Would Adrian Sutil have influenced the championship? I think FIA want to keep the Spirit of Motor Racing high and keep the championship open. I think that would have to do something with stewards decision.
Regarding Lewis Hamilton , he has been nasty a number of times for example at Monza with Timo Glock , he forced him out of the track while overtaking when it was a easy maneuver. And in Japan once again he was in the spotlight for causing the first corner incident , so you say what he did was right is it? If he had not done that , it would have been Kimi's race easily. Mclaren have to blame themselves for all these , last year they had a tainted season with the spy scandal.

Anyways Congrats to Lewis , was a stunning race by him.
Consolation to the 2 Ferrari's , they were beaten by sheer pace of the Mclaren and Lewis.
Was interesting to hear KIMI's comments at the post race press conference , he was quite open and admitted that he knows what the team expects in these situations and I know what is good for the team, so i let Massa go through. Hats off to him for saying that openly.

By the way, I was responding to your first sentence. Unless I misunderstood it seemed you didn't take too kindly to my joke about FIA penalising Hamilton.
