Re: F1 steals Hamilton's win and hands it to Massa

Yeah so Ron Dennis says, but there is no way that could of happened in the time scale of Hamilton leaving the track and overtaking Raikkonen. Your talking 5 seconds maximum. Ron Dennis is talking out of his arse. But this does come from the team that spy-ed on Ferrari. If i was Raikkonen Hamilton wouldn't of finished the race today

i think it was that they conferred after it happened. the point of the rule, i believe (and correct me if i'm wrong) is to prevent advantages from being fenegled through such maneuvering. i read it as they conferred with the judges right afterwards, and they said it looked clean, so even if Hamilton had raced ahead, and the judges had said he took the advantage, i'm sure he would have given the spot up and given the advantage back to Kimi.

Interesting though, should be a little while before the ruling comes out. but we know that the rule is quite subjective and can be construed in anyway. I have a feeling it will bite them in the ass; if not now, then in the future when the same thing happens and they rule in a different way.

In the interview Ron Dennis said he told Hamilton on the radio that he had to let Raikkonen through, which Hamilton did. This only happened once in the race and there is no way that conversation happened in 7 seconds

in the Manza race yesterday, Hamilton passed Massa and one of the Speed Channel commentators said, "whelp, you better give hamilton a black flag for that"

haha, i love the speed commentators

watched the qualifying and was laughing my ass off when the top 2 drivers waited until the last minute of Q2 to head out, meanwhile the rain was worsening, and they couldnt get out of the kockout range. rofl.

Even as a kid, i was allways the Ferrari fan, not drivers.
I have to say that Hamilton is very skilled, but he is risking too much, putting others in dangerous situations, like he doesnt care what happens to them. Imagine that, after he almost pushed one car out of the road, dont really remember which, just so he can get perfect line, that poor guy accidentally lost grip, and banged into a wall or something. With speed like that, it wouldnt be nice.

Other drivers are aware of that, but watching H. drive, it is clear that he only thinks about winning, and nothing else, no safety. And that is Ron Dennis' fault.
