Lewis Hamilton insisted McLaren was not trying to get the championship result overturned through its appeal on Thursday, rather it just wanted to clarify the regulations. The championship runner-up went on to add that Raikkonen was the deserved winner of the title.
"As I have said all along, Kimi deserved to win the 2007 drivers' championship, and neither I nor anyone at McLaren Mercedes had any desire to take it off him in court," Hamilton said. "That was not the purpose of the team's appeal."
"I am looking forward to the 2008 season and racing Kimi, and all my other rivals, on track and hopefully be able to go one better than the second place I achieved in this year's drivers' championship."
