yeap-there is an international treason and everyone involved wants to hunt down LH. How about Massa's 10k penalty when leaving pit-stop? Stop crying like little p.....If he is as good as he is esteemed here he will get the title.

There's a difference between a 10K penalty and a 25 second penalty...

there is a difference between cutting the corner to gain advantage and overtaking someone already outlapped...

Kranz....backoff on the namecalling...OK ? :arrgh!:

He didn't cut the corner to deliberately gain an advantage, he went round the outside and KR forced him onto the rough as they both locked brakes and was the only option lest they both go out (imagine the hoo ha had LH not done so) he then slowed down and let KR ahead before the start line....

If you look at the replay LH was ahead in the corner too.

Bernie Ecclestone.He was interviewed at the end of last season by ITV and was asked if he was supporting LH at that race and he gave the interviewer a withering why should I look.He knows that LH is good but does not want a repeat of the Schumacher years when F1 was boringly predictable.
Ferrari do as they are told by him whereas Ron D is a little less under the thumb.

Formula 1 is something I barely watch now,

due the fact they have turned RACING into a Game with the most silly rules.
Drivers cant race as when they do take the risk they get punished, they make up silly rules like that drivers have to change between Soft and Hard tires...let them drive what THEY want.

LH punishment is the perfect example of how screwed Formula 1 has become, I'm not a fan of him but I do NOT agree how they punished him or actualy that they punished him at ALL its just WRONG.
he did what we like to see...he took a fight on with Raikonen, he won the fight and too bad for raikonen he took too much risk and crashed, better luck next time.

Racing is taking Risks, if you dont take risk its watching a Merry Go Around for 2 hours :nope: too bad Formula has gone downhill this much to be fun to watch.
also I heard during the Spa race that they are going to modify the track, if they touch Spa I stop watching Formula 1

the only thing I watch now what is still about racing is MotoGP

Cry cry cry! :nope:

Funny how the common sense and rules are forgotten when one's favorite is being "wrongly treated". :roll:

Hamilton was the one overtaking, he didnt get completely past Räikkönen on the corner, so Räikkönen had every right to remain on his line, Hamilton just kept on squeezing to the same line and instead of braking, he decided to cut the corner. Fair penalty.

Absolutely ridiculous (edit/add: and which btw I say without LH being my "favourite"), LH gave the place back by at least the distance he was off KR's gearbox prior to the chicane.

How many races have been wrecked by decisions made by these moronic stewards?

Where does this 25 seconds come from anyway? Is that a penalty rule, or (which I imagine is more likely) roll a die and multiply by 5?

But how much time would LH have lost if he would've braked instead of cutting the corner? ;)

LH had better grip than KR at the time. Granted the distance between them would have opened up a bit with the "accordion" effect, but LH would have closed on exiting with his better grip. Net result imho not much change in the relative positions as they were prior to entering the chicane.

hush
 

Massa had to be punished last race with a drivethru penalty.. So that this punishment for Lewis is 100% rightfull.. But it is!
Very nice to hear from lewie boy very much and deep bs to explain his very nice move.. "Kimi was not fair".. Should let me go in the corner before chicane.. :rotfl: Spoken by a driver that drives on the edge of suicide and kill(like they all should!).. Very nice!

FORZA FERRARI

I agree. Hamilton was on the outside, and you cant pass there, so he just desided to use a part of the track where there should be gravel.

Spot on. :yep:

I stayed up to watch the highlights to watch it again and LH did the right thing. Don't forget LH muffed up handing the lead back to KR who in turn muffed up giving it back to LH then KR went for a spin in the wall.

The steward's have in this case made a bloody mighty error of judgment. On TalkSport radio every caller said that judgment was wrong & some of the callers were not fans of LH but they saw the injustice of the steward's.

;)
 

Good thing all callers were from...

It was not an error, Hamilton is a bit overcocky and drives and talks like that.

And can you explain me one thing?

Why bother with chicanes and turns when you can go straight? :rotfl: Hamilton was ahead before of the turn, yes, but he left too much space, Kimi used it which drove off Lewis out of the turn(after all he was on the outer side of the turn) and Lewis did I think 5 such overcomes in his career so far, maybe more, what was wrong then and what is wrong now with Kimi?
After that, Lewis used the "straight way" to get in the back of Kimi(wind advantage) which is not defendable. Not fair move, fair punishment! And Lewis's statement showed he is really cocky and a little cheeky.. Like all champs.. :rotfl:

That was not a fair overcome and I think you all feel like it, just because you root for someone doesn't mean you have to be less than objective..
