Hamilton lost the title by one point to Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen after he only finished seventh at the final round of the season in Brazil and the Finn came in first.

But the FIA's International Court of Appeal could hand Hamilton the title if they overturn the decision of the stewards at Interlagos not to punish the BMW Sauber and Williams teams after the temperature of the fuel in their cars was found to be outside the regulations.

Hamilton finished the race behind the Williams of Nico Rosberg and the BMW Saubers of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld but if all three were removed from the results, that would give the Briton the title.

Max Mosley, president of the FIA which governs F1, told www.autosport.com: "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.

"You could argue whether McLaren had a right to appeal.

"They could have protested the result, but they didn't. Apparently they didn't measure the temperature of the fuel.

"But even if the cars classified ahead of Hamilton would be excluded, would this change his position? The court of appeal will have to rule on that."
