Formula One 2007 championship season had everything. Scandals, spy case, intense battles on the track and in the court rooms, a rookie doing miracles and an experienced driver making maximum from his slim chances. But the question still remains open: Who won the title?
As of now, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen is a winner but there is a chance, at least theoretic, that the title will go to McLaren's Lewis Hamilton. The young Briton has declared that he doesn't want a title won as a result of protest. His teammate Alonso has supported the same pathos.
The date for McLaren's appeal has been set. It will be on the 15th of November. If McLaren's protest is satisfied and both Williams and BMW-Sauber get punished, this will automatically push up Lewis Hamilton to the title. In this case I am sure Ferrari will protest the decision and the question who won the 2007th title will remain open for the next few months.
However, I don't believe things will get that far. Max Mosley, president of the FIA said: "For us, the world championship is over, the result is what it is. A team presented an appeal; at the moment, this doesn't change anything - it's up to them to prove they are right."
Thank you Mr. Mosley. The scandals in this season must be over and the sooner they are the better for the sport, drivers, fans and everyone else involved.

We shall know today who wins.But rules are rules.You break them you get punished.This is how Ferrari won the constructors.
As far as I know,Lewis Hamilton is the new F1 champion.How about the fact that he will have won it in court?Pardon me, but you've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a damn.
Thank you for your comment Kinyanjui. Well, as far as I know FIA did not change the decision (I was deeply convinced that they would not). So for now we can be sure that Kimi is a 2007 champion.
McLaren played this season with dirty tricks and in the end came out with nothing.
