The Real Winner

Giancarlo Fisichella may be handed his elusive first win on Friday if the FIA agree with evidence showing that he completed one more lap than the official record of the Brazilian Grand Prix.

A few seconds after Mark Webber crashed out of the Race, Giancarlo was seen to tiptoe through the debris from the stricken Jaguar and enter the start/finish straight.  Kimi Raikkonen passed the debris a few seconds later.  By the time that Fernando Alonso crashed out and caused the race to be stopped, surely Fisi had completed the lap and had started another.

ITV-F1 comentators James Allan and Martin Brundle were in no doubt that Fisichella had won the race, but in the countback, the race was handed to the McLaren Driver.

The race stewards have been asked to appear at the FIA headquarters in Paris where a decision will be taken on the true outcome of the race.

Jordan's Fans are in no doubt of the true outcome of the race last Sunday and hope that the FIA correct the Brazilian officials and award Fisi his first ever race win after 110 attempts.  The win will be Jordan's fourth race victory since being founded in 1991.
