Part One.
Lewis Hamilton is currently under investigation by the FIA stewards for impeding Nelson Piquet in Q2. This investigation comes after Renault complained about the Briton.
Lewis Hamilton claimed a fantastic Pole position in Fuji, but could it be taken away?
This isn't a joke; notice no Humor sign in the top-right corner.
FIA Press conference:
Q: (Ed Gorman—The Times) "Lewis, are you aware that there's an investigation about an incident between you and Nelson Piquet, which we understand is being investigated by the stewards?"
LH: "Are you serious? From Qualifying? I don't think I've been overtaken throughout qualifying, so...I don't think so. At one stage he pulled out of the way of me during the qualifying session but I came in that lap.
Part Two.
Fernando Alonso could also receive a €10,000 fine after entering the pits, and then changing his mind, and crossing the white line to get back out onto track.
More to follow.

Are you sure - there are reports all over the internet that Renault misheard Piquet and they jumped at the chance to investigate Lewis as they know Lewis is always a prime target with the FIArri stewards.
Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised if they retrospectively pushed him down the grid and it would completely make a mockery of F1 after what they did in Spa.

Yup, your right, the investigation was cancelled after Renault reviewed the Radio transmission, and it turned out he just mentioned Hamilton's name, and Renault thought Nelson was complaining about him blocking.

You don't really need Hamilton as an excuse to mock the FIA

Another article slagging off the FiA? I don't understand this, the FiA are the governing body of any Motor racing anywhere in the world. They are the rules makers, if they deem an incident, an action, or anything a driver or team do illegal they will punish it. They are not bias towards any team. If there were no FiA there would be no Formula One. You say that your all F1 fans but if you slag off a certain aspect of it then you can't say you are F1 fans. Ferrari have been punished in the past for things too, there have been years where the FiA have punished Ferrari for what appears to be no reason whatsoever, but that doesn't mean that they are right or wrong. They have the final say, if a boxing ref sees something that the average fan hasn't it doesn't mean he is wrong they just know what they are looking for. That is why these people are paid to do what they do, they see things that you or I won't see. They have to investigate everything, especially at the moment, Martin Brundle said on Sunday during the race that the FiA is looking into everything at the moment because everyone is trying to stitch everyone else up. I am not trying to slag anyone off here I am just trying to open some very bias eyes.
