One can’t help feel a little sorry for Felipe Massa, but the numbers make Lewis Hamilton the definitive 2008 F1 World Champion. lewishamilton
“I think if you’ve been punished for something that wasn’t your fault,” he told Motorsport.com, “and it’s the product of a robbery, a stolen race, justice has to be served.
But given that one team was to blame for the cheating scandal, Renault, would it be right to cancel the entire race and erase it from the standings? There isn’t a precedent for that. In all three instances only the driver was penalised for the sins committed, the rest of the field kept their results and for the most part moved up a spot.
In all of those it was the individual team or driver who paid the price for their antics, not the entire field. So, based on that precedent if the FIA were to step in today and change the result because Alonso’s team cheated, all that would happen is he’d be excluded from the race. Hamilton would score one additional point at the French GP as he finished behind both Renaults, P10 to P8, and two in Singapore where he’d climb from third to second, that step worth two points back in 2008.
