Lewis Hamilton

[clematis]

What a shame the FIA have not reinstated Hamilton.He should never have been penalised.Shame on you FIA or should I say Ferrari Investement Association!!!

[kempie]

That is incorrect...

FIA = Ferrari International Assistance

Excellent Kempie!!!!

If schumacher would have done that it would have been called great driving, remember all the times he won by flipping other cars off the track, double standards or what

[clematis]

Cazzz1975,Totally agree with you

[daffy654]

Did anyone really think Lewis Hamilton would be successful in his appeal? If it had been a Ferrari driver there would never have been a time penalty in the first place!

If I watched F1 I'd stop right now.

[cazzz1975]

notice massa get a slap on the wrist for almost crashing into a car in the pits a few races before? 8 grand fine, no loss of time, ferrari would barely notice it..

also there have been a lot of similar incidents in the last few years that have not been punished, typical FIA bunch of to55ers

[anotheoldgit]

I am no expert at F1 nor do I follow it, but didn't he cut a corner thus giving him an advantage?

[jackthehat]

^ Which he almost immediately voluntarily handed back.........

[cazzz1975]

Hamilton was forced off the track causing him to cut the corner.. he then gave the advantage back to raikkonen, of course raikkonen being "the best" could not keep the car on the road and eventually spun into the barrier.
( some time later)

Call me cynical but.....if it had been a Ferrari driver that had executed the same move as Hamilton it would have gone unquestioned!!!
