"This short article claims it will be available with engines ranging from 177- to 423-horsepower. So I gather that means an IS220d, IS250, IS350 (US perhaps) and IS-F Convertible. The car should be ready by about 2009."

BMW Sauber和Williams隊由於在油溫上不符FIA規定,正在接受FIA調查。如果違反規定的事實成立,可能將導致兩個車隊的車手(包括第四名的Rosberg、第五名的Kubica與第六名的Heidfeld)被取消巴西站的參賽資格。也就是說,Hamilton會從第七名前進到第四名,成為世界冠軍。
