Raikkonen may lose Brazil win
The result of Sunday's Brazilian Formula One Grand Prix is being reviewed because of a timekeeping discrepancy.
The FIA said in a statement that Jordan driver Giancarlo Fisichella, in a Jordan, had led for one lap more than previously believed and could be declared the winner instead of McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen.
The Finn was behind Fisichella when the race was stopped but had been declared the winner on F1's count-back rule - which dictates that the result is declared two laps before the lap on which the race was stopped.
But the FIA says there is now doubt about how many laps Fisichella had completed when the race was stopped because of an accident involving Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber.
The FIA says that Fisichella may have completed one more lap than was thought - which would make him the winner.
The statement read: "The FIA has received evidence which suggests that, contrary to information supllied by the time-keepers at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Fisichella had started his 56th lap before the race was stopped.
"If this proves to be the case, the race classification would be that at the end of the 54th lap and not at the end of the 53rd lap as published."
The FIA has summoned its Brazilian GP officials to a meeting at its Paris headquarters on Friday morning to review the race.

Fisichella has now been awarded the win, it's official.
And I'm glad, Fisichella is perhaps the fastest driver in the world, yet hardly ever gets a mention next to supposed stars like Alonso and Raikonnen. It's a crying shame that F1 has passed him by to date. Maybe he'll do a Hakinnen on us though - not win anything for years, then storm to victory at every race :OD

Brazil has always been a shambles of a Grand Prix. The teams have to hire extra security because people steal parts from the garages.
look at this, weve got every jonny foreigner posting on this site. :)
but seriously, i have to say it is a huge mess.
