Lewis Hamilton Incident

[Shanks]

Having just watched a replay regarding the safety car issue,
could somebody please explain where Hamilton comes into this at all.

From what I saw he took a wide right out of the way for the dry track and the two other cars took each other out.

The driver behind claimed that his driving was 'irratic' which meant that those behind him were not able to concentrate fully on driving as safely as possible as they are not allowed to overtake the car in front under the safety car and his changes of pace were making it hard to avoid doing this.

Actually in the rules unless he is actually driving in an obviously unsafe manner or is more than 5 car lengths behind the safety car he is allowed to change pace pretty much as he wants so it is no surprise he has been let off according to the latest report on the BBC.

It seemed that when he spun out wide, he put himself away from all the traffic.

FFS Weber is a racing driver - ergo they can react to what happens in front. How many times does a stranded car at the start get completly missed.

Recon a lot of envy re Hamilton here.

Heard him say he's fed up with F1 and considering quiting - win the champsionship and tell Bernie to f the 1 off.

Hamilton is the best thing to happen to F1 in a long long time

I think our Lewis is far from an innocent rookie. But that's part of what makes him so good.

There was never going to be a points deduction for that incident, no way. Up until 3 or 4 seasons ago I used to religiously watch F1 but then it all became **** and its only this season that I have rekindled my interest, and that is in large due to Hamilton. Good luck to him I say...especially because Alonso is a whiny **** who id love to slap. ****.

esp. the bit about Alonso.

It was because of Hamilton that the crash happened but it wasn't his fault. It rained and that makes it a lot tougher to brake on cold tires.

Love his response this morning, getting pole.

Xabi or Fernando?

Alonso is a class act but went off him after the spy row. Hope Lewis wins it tomorrow.

Such a class act that he's been whining all season about how Hamilton's been getting preferential treatment by McLaren and how he was told he would be the number one driver at McLaren this year, if he was the racer he was cracked up to be he'd have beaten Lewis on the track rather than expecting everything to be handed to him on a plate like he was used to as Renault.

I hope Lewis wins the title tomorrow, Alonso can then **** off back to Renault and McLaren can bring in Button to partner Hamilton, what a team that would be for next year.

I like that idea....do ya reckon its got any real possibility though, or just wishful thinking?
