Even if he doesn't get the trophy, he clearly has a damages case against the FIA and FOM/Bernie.
The short and sweet of it is, they screwed him out of the championship, no worse than what Piquet did for Briatore.
This is a giant cluster for sure.

So really the biggest asterisk ever goes over Ham’s WDC - hopefully they’ll restore it to the rightful winner given the blatant cheating.
