Fuckface Ecclestone openly admitted he didnt want Lewis to win the championship last year. I dare say he's of the same opinion this year.

Lewis did everything right, fair and to the rules in my opinion.

Guess we cant have a black F1 world champion yet then? :roll:

If you think about who Mr Mosely's parentage is/was - there may be more than an element of that.

I was going to say the same myself Duncan but wasn't really sure if it amounted to slander, however.....i'm pretty sure we all agree with that and after all........it's just an opinion!!

[quote="Gerry H"]Copied from ITV/f1 website

"Below is the statement from the stewards explaining their verdict.

From: The stewards of the meeting

To: The team manager, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes

The stewards, having received a report from the Race Director and having met with the drivers and team managers involved, have considered the following matter, determine a breach of the regulations has been committed by the competitor and impose the penalty referred to.

No./driver: 22, Lewis Hamilton

Time: 15:21:33

Facts: Cut the chicane and gained an advantage

Offence: Breach of Article 30.3(a) of the 2008 FIA Formula 1 sporting regulations and Appendix L chapter 4 Article 2 (g) of the International Sporting Code.

Penalty: Drive-through penalty (Article 16.3 (a)), since this is being applied at the end of the race, 25 seconds will be added to the driver

Ok, so Lewis gained an advantage but only because he was forced off track by the stupid fukcing Fin in the first place. He then, as the rules dictate, gave back the place and in doing so had to ease off to let him by, therefore losing the momentum that they say was gained by cutting the chicane. Therefore, he was in the right and should not be penalised for it. I do believe there is a bias towards Ferrari or against Lewis. Whichever way it is, it is wrong.

Just because Kimi can't keep his fukcing car on the track when it starts to rain, Lewis as suffered for it.

Lewis was undenyably quicker in the slippery conditions than the fukcwit was and therefore would have passed him in the next corner or two anyway.

If the appeal is knocked back then Mclaren sould appeal against the decision not to penalise Massa for the "dangerous situation in the pit lane" at Valencia. Which is exactly as it was described by the stewards at the time. Or the FIA should fine Mclaren a measly 10000 euros as they did to the Italian arses.

just back from this tonight, for anybody who hasnt been to an F1 event all i can say is add one of these to your list of "To Do" things before you die :-D

didnt know all of the inns and outs over this till i got home tonight as the only time i had seen any mention of it was on belgian TV and im not very fluent in belgian anyway lol

cant really see what the fuss is about anyway TBH lewis tried an overtaking manouver to get pushed wide by raikonen (hey shit happens its racing ehh :roll:) he then gets an advantage which he gives up by letting raikonnen past again only to overtake him again going into the next corner, now this is the part which really confuses me to feck, he then passes lewis again to take first position when lewis has to go wide to avoid a car comming back onto the track after going off only for raikonnen to take back first place, raikonen lost that race himself when he spun further down the track and lewis went past him..

ive found some good clips already, this ones worth the watching, who ever made it did a good job

First vid was excellent and totally agree with the video creator....leave things as they stood at the end of the grand prix.

Second vid, bloody brilliant on-board camera vids. Quite clearly show exactly what happened and that lovely noise...mmmmmm.

The FIA are so bent their backs should be well broken after this fiasco of a decision!!

that bottom clip is interesting as i was led to believe that the solid white lines where the track .
it clearly shows kimi keeping his foot in . fair play i say but if the shoe was on the other foot so to speak i wonder.

cheers
