McLaren lack integrity

I still can't believe that Kimi and Ferrari were able to do something (coming back from 3rd to win the championship on the last day), that hasn't been done since F1's first year in 1950. Absolutely amazing!

But, what I can not believe even more is how two-faced Ron Dennis and McLaren really are, and how so many people still buy their B.S.

Their reason for appealing the whole fuel-temperature decision to NOT penalize the 3 drivers in front of Hamilton, is apparently for "clarification".

Personally, I don't see any way in which that decision could be reversed. The stewards logic was sound, appropriate and just, and I think McLaren know this. They are appealing this decision out of spite, and that is sickening.

This is another example of how McLaren have put the sport in disrepute this season. It wasn't enough that they cheated and were caught, it wasn't enough that Dennis couldn't control his drivers exposing far too much information that should have been personal, now they want to put the icing on the cake by intentionally disrupting and delaying a justly deserved championship and celebration of their former driver all for selfish reasons.

It's shows a lack of respect to Kimi and to the sport, and quite frankly, they should penalized out of principle for this kind of behavior.

If the FIA do reverse the no-penalty call, and Hamilton is crowned champion, it would prove the FIA and Formula One are nothing more than a terrible joke and a disgrace to all of the great drivers, teams and memories of the past.

Everyone (as Alonso has recently been quoted as saying), should hang their heads in shame if this were to happen.

Why McLaren can not accept their defeat with at least a little bit of integrity is beyond me.
