Doom For Hamilton?

Its been a hectic week in the formula one circus.It all started with Trulli(Toyota) being handed a 25 second penalty after finishing third in the Australian grand Prix last weekend. The move pushed him from third place to 12th on the grid.The penalty was imposed for overtaking the mclaren of hamilton during a safety car period.This moved Hamilton into the last podium place. But further investigations by the race stewards has revealed that both Hamilton and Mclaren manipulated information about the move and lied to stewards during the initial investigation. As a result hamilton has been stripped of his third place finish and also totally excluded from the final classification. But this is not where it all ends. FIA, the governing body of F1 has indicated that it may be inclined to take further actions as the incident has violated the FIA regulations and also the International Sports Code. As the FIA has started talking tough, there are only two possibilities,one suspend Hamilton for one or more races,the next one is more likely,which is disqualifying him for the entire season. a decision is expected to be taken after the Malaysian Grand Prix next week. so both Hamilton and Mclaren cannot breathe easy until the FIA lets the cat out of the bag. Will it be gllom and doom for hamilton or will he emerge unscathed? Lets wait till next week.But one thing is sure,Hamilton will not be the great champion he was tipped to become no matter how many championships he wins.........
