The result is what we say it is.

This Lewis Hamilton business is very strange - why would you say something you not only know to be untrue, but which you know can be easily proved to be untrue? Either he's just stupid, or there's more to this than we are being told. And I for one am getting really fed up with the way so many races are being decided in the stewards' room rather than on track. I rather liked one of the comments on an F1 chat group, which went something like "Hang on there - it's only a matter of time before the stewards decide that the rules mean that Ferrari came 1st and 2nd despite neither of their cars finishing!". One is tempted to say that it's not over until the fat steward sings.
