I think this is a key fact. I think this should be the detail that stop this insanity.

They are ignoring it. Not to mention that a number of the potential ways to adjust the outcome from the Singapore race don't result in Massa having enough points to win the WDC.

Furthermore, even if the FIA had gone as far as totally excluding Renault from the Singapore GP and stripping Fernando Alonso of his win, that would still not help Massa's cause as it would simply deliver more points to eventual champion Lewis Hamilton.

I think to make this work in Massa's favor they would have to erase ALL points awarded at Singapore from the championship?
