Hamilton win eh?,Alonso crashes off ,could be good with only two races to go.

 

[tobi]

I didn't know it was a night race!

 

[JD10]

Got up. Very good race.

 

[tobi]

I'll watch the highlights later.

 

[MrsKeane]

I watched the race live......LOVE formula and two finns on the podium

 

[Lanh]

It was amazing! Did anybody watch the re-run? Did they edit out Mark Webber's little outburst? :lol:

 

[ihawk98]

will Hamilton repeat this weekend in China?

 

[Lanh]

Possibly not.

He is under investigation for causing the Webber-Liutzi(sp?) crash under safety car conditions for apparently driving dangerously by speeding up then slowing down massively.

Apparently there is a regulation which says that the lead car has to be five meters behind the safety car too, though when that came in I don't have a clue.

Possible punishments if found guilty anyway are:-

-Removal of points won at Mt Fuji
-Suspension
-Grid penalty in China

Knowing how they love to hammer McLaren this season, I wouldn't be surprised if he got two of those three thrown at him. I believe he can be fined too.

 

[chrissivad]

You know they will pocked points off him.

What i cant understand is that cars have fallen behind the safty car for years, and do what Hamilton does all the time. Might not be to the degree of Hamilton, but its just getting boring now. They have already handed one title to Ferrari and im sure they are looking to do the same again.

Hamilton has been cleared of any wrong doing!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7029797.stm

 

[Lanh]

Aye saw it on my Vista Sky news ticker thing. Rightly so too!

Why should he be blamed if the other drivers don't react to what he does in time to prevent a crash? Under racing conditions he wouldn't be, why should it be any different under the safety car?

Apologies also, it was Webber and Vittel, not Webber and Liutzi!

 

[tobi]

Good!

 

[JD10]

Hamilton has been cleared of any wrong doing!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7029797.stm

The right decision

 

[paulspursman]

i think even webber and vettell fans would agree the accusations towards hamilton were pretty weak

 

[Lanh]

Not sure Webber would to be honest with you, he was extremely pissed off, but more with Vittel than with Hamilton, at least initially! Swore live on air and it was only around 7am! :lol:

 

[gooch]

hamilton on pole for the race this weekend with alonso fourth.....championship beckons

 

[chrissivad]

still along way to go first

 

[Lanh]

Anybody staying up tonight for the race live or are people going to bed and then getting up?

 

[Lanh]

So it goes to Brazil unless there is a complete downpour in the next 18 laps!

 

[Lanh]

And the Minardi finished 4th! Shame about the Jordan's.
