This is what happened that no one seen on TV.

Hamilton is currently under investigation due to this new
evidence. FIA is removing this from Youtube and I just
found it on Google Video. Hurry before FIA takes this down.

damn it, it is linked to youtube and it's blocked here at work. can you describe the video? what angle is it taken from?

i hope they do penalize Hamilton. he was being a jackass. but i doubt they will.

 

nevermind, i just found it and saw it. i thought Lewis was being a dick in general, but in that situation, i'm not sure how you can say it was his fault? he was way off to the side. maybe because he practically passed the safety car and Webber didnt realize...Webber looked like he was about to hit the safety car or pass Hamilton and i guess he had to slow down.

 

Yeah I don't see the hooplah (other than the traditional "hate on whoever is doing well" mentality)?

Hamilton was way wide and Webber slowed down so as not to pass him (Hamilton seemed to go wide and slow so as not to pass the safety car, which seemed to have slowed), Vettel (who should have been paying more attention) didn't slow.

If slowing down in the front can be blamed for causing an accident a few spots behind, we should penalize the safety car

 

Based on what I see, the FIA has way too much time on its hands.

 

Due to the weather conditions, i would say it was probably impossible for Vettel to judge the distance. Also, not like there brake lights on
the cars. Webber most likely notice Lewis going wide and he did not
want to pass him, he broke hard. Vettel didn't even look like he broke
and hit Webber. To me...Lewis was being too eratic when it wasn't
needed.

 

But the safety car DIDNT slow down, it went right on around the turn. Hamilton did slow for no real reason apart from maybe wanting to keep the brakes warm. And going to the outside of the track instead of staying on the racing line obviously threw off Webber who had to brake hard to avoid passing.

Yes, it was Vettels fault ultimately, but there was no reason for Hamilton to practically stop like he did.

 

FIA penalize for everything...why stop here?

 

Just before the turn it looks like LH accelerate and couldn't get back behind without hitting the safety car that's why he went way wide, even so he should continue his wide turn w/o slowing down. I don't believe he did it on purpose, but looks like a rookie error. Don't think Webber brake at all, looks like he ease off waiting for LH to get back in line.

I would have to say LH is at fault here, but ultimately it is always the person that is following too close gets it, but now we have this video to prove LH have a part to do with this accident he should be penalized. If found guilty I think FIA will start him off at pit or the back of the grid at China GP.

 

I don't know what they should do about LH, but they damn sure don't need to penalize Vettel.
