For those that missed the F1 Race this passed weekend
i'll give a little background info.
Hamilton started pole but spun out in the 2nd lap and lost momentum which caused him to be overtaken by Kimi Raikkonen. Raikkonen leads for most of the race except for Massa for a short time. about 7 laps remain, rain begins to fall and Hamilton starts closing the gap on Kimi. with just over 2 laps to go, it gets really good. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74TZngbIS9I unfortunately Hamilton gets penalized and the win is taken from him because he passed Kimi when he was pushed off the track. i don't agree with it. Hamilton gave back the position before the end of the lap like the regulations state. |
Interesting race just happy Massa came out with the points and Hamilton got ---- on by the league, now were only 3 away with MASSA:|
|
wow they sound like bumble bees when they drive by. and that is totally against the books you cant go off the track take someone over and contine u the race CHEATER
|
you can't make 3 attempts to block another driver from passing either!
you're supposed to make 1 block attempt, then maintain your position. sucks for hamilton .. he got the short end of the stick. |
Yah haven't seen a race like this for a while! Hamilton was brave doing what he did and I think he should've been declared as the winner because he gave back the position to Kimi.

Hamilton just needed to wait a couple of turns and it wouldn't have been a problem.
The fact he passed Kimi right after, that's where the problem lied. |
There is no rule that I know of stating how long you have to wait to pass after giving the position back, or even how much room you must give when giving it back.
Anyhow, the FIA has said the problem was that he cut the chicane, not that he passed right after giving the position back. |
he had no choice but to cut it. if he didn't, he'd have no nose cone. i think F1 is still bitter about Mclaren's scandal last year.
|
lmao... here's a breakdown of the scandal in Lego terms

Hamilton to keep it 'clean' Eurosport - Thu, 11 Sep 20:50:00 2008 McLaren's Lewis Hamilton has promised to stay "squeaky clean" for the rest of the Formula One season after being stripped of victory in Belgium. The championship leader, punished by stewards in Spa for cutting a chicane while duelling with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen in a thrilling finale to that race, arrived at the Italian Grand Prix in fighting form. The Briton said he looked forward to beating Ferrari in their own backyard at Monza, played down the challenge of Brazilian title rival Felipe Massa and even questioned world champion Raikkonen's bravery. Above all, he made clear that he intended to leave no room for argument in the remaining five races. "Everyone in the team feels like we won the race [in Belgium] on moral grounds," the 23-year-old, sounding relaxed and assured as ever, said. "We just have to try our best to stay squeaky clean and stay out of trouble for the rest of the season," added the driver, who left Spa in a state of some disbelief after his fifth punishment in 13 races. Hamilton said Massa, winner of five races and now just two points behind pending an appeal into the Spa result, was the one "on the back foot. "He is the one who has to work damn hard to keep up with me," he said. "I feel like I'm coming here off a win, and moving onto the next race." The Briton was dismissive of a suggestion that Raikkonen was struggling for grip at Spa, preventing him from fully regaining his lead on the straight after the chicane and forcing him to brake earlier into the first corner of the penultimate lap where Hamilton went back in front. "That's his driving. That's the way he drives. If you don't have the balls to brake late, that's your problem," said Hamilton. Hamilton recognised a groundswell of support in England, where outraged fans and the media have been vocal in their condemnation of the stewards' decision, but said he was still in control of his own destiny. "I still have a two-point lead and we are going to make sure that we just continue to attack and perform like we did in the last two races," he said. "I feel great. I think for the next few races our car really will suit the circuits just as well as it did at Spa. We are going to make sure we do the best job we can." Hamilton defended his spirited approach to racing, saying he would continue to try to overtake and entertain whenever possible. "I'm a racer, I do the best job I can on the track and I race my heart off," he said. "There's no-one that puts more heart into it than me. And I really felt in that last race that's what I did and I am just going to make sure that I keep on doing that and showing people what I can do. "I don't think anyone can take that away from me." |
