Malaysian wins

That's right. All brand loyalties aside, Malaysia has a winner in its midst. He deserved the title and they took it away from him. But he got it back. It's touching. From NST: Motor sports: Jazeman gets his title back:

HE won it dominantly on the track, the title taken away from him controversially, but it was justice served when Jazeman Firhan Jaafar was reinstated yesterday as the 2007 Formula BMW Asia champion.

The CiMB Team Qi-Meritus, following the results of their appeal, have also been reinstated as the team champions in the series, giving them the title for the fifth year in a row.

Jazeman, 15, was robbed of his title after a disqualification based on a stewards report at the final round of the series in Zhuhai, China on Nov 4 last year, which alleged that his car had carried irregular gearbox selector springs.

Early yesterday, Meritus Racing's London-based lawyers had conveyed the news to team principle Peter Thompson which threw all allegations out the window.

"We'd fought all the way, provided all the evidence to show that we were innocent. The FASC (Federation of Automobile Sports of China) had not held a hearing for the appeal within the 30-day period as per regulations," said Thompson.

In that instance, the case was brought to the International Automobile Federation (FIA), who had viewed the evidence and since the FASC had not responded, it was deemed they agreed with Meritus Racing's appeal.

That's right. And now he's the youngest champion in the racing history of Formula BMW. Our man. Sniff.
