Once again the chief of the kings of comedy takes a swipe at the FIA: www.planetf1.com/story/0,18954,3213_5242877,00.html When will they learn? But I suppose it must be hard to come to terms with the great divorce that seems to have happened between the kings of comedy and their former bitch, the FIA.

Thought that was a pretty boring race myself - in fact, the whole sporting weekend disappointed.
Ferrari need to sort out their KERS issue, but they also have to stop chasing the developments on other cars. They're already behind on that score, and need to get a system that works for them rather than trying to catch up with what the other teams already have.
Hamilton drove a good race - his team mate, on the other hand, was awful. The "liargate" hearing is the next event on the calendar - scheduled for Wednesday, but we probably won't find out the verdict until Thursday. It's probable that McLaren will be handed out a fine and/or a race ban as their sponsors have warned the FIA of the repercussions should the Woking team be thrown out of the championship. Ultimately it would cause sponsorship to be withdrawn, and the team could then be forced out of the sport altogether. I'm sure nobody wants to see that outcome, although there has to be some sort of penalty given for their misdemeanours.
Personally, I'd rather see the fine, or the team penalised a few points rather than anything that would affect Hamilton himself. If nothing else, to remove him from the grid would decrease the spectacle.

Schumi, so you've finally accepted that, while Hamilton can be an arrogant little shit at times, he's also a real racer and good entertainment to watch.

Entertaining isn't a word I'd use - he makes me fall asleep, actually, especially when he's giving an interview. However, I do feel sorry for him at the moment.
To lose McLaren would be devastating for the whole of F1, but the blame lies with the team as a whole - not Lewis on his own. I think the team should take the penalty, not the drivers - I just forgot to mention Kovalainen because, let's face it, he's easily forgettable.
