^ Draw a penalty out of the hat time...

 

I don't quite understand why LH braked and went SO wide to the right, he practically came to a stop! I'm sure he was checking his mirrors and saw Webber and Vettel coming. Weird, but I wouldn't penalize LH.

 

Vettel's side of the story was he thought that Hamilton's car blew up and he was pulling off. So I guess its reasonable to assume Webber would speed up and catch the pace car.

 

 

BTW, this was already being discussed in the Fuji thread....

 

Interesting footage. I was wondering why they didn't show that replay. Earlier in the race, it was obvious that LH was intentionally messing with Alonso, maybe trying to get him penalized.

M. Schumacher used to pass cars all the time when he wasn't supposed to, but we all know that they had a different set of rules for him.

 

his actions were strange and im sure there are a handful of possiblities as to why LH drove the way he did. his actions may very well have caused the accident but it was a chain of cause and effect. he did not directly cause the accident so i fail to see why the FIA would penalize LH. of course, i fail to see why the FIA does a lot of things so a penalty would not suprise me in the least.

 

I think they should penalize the camera man for taking that video.

 

I doubt the Ferrari Intl Assistance (FIA) would have the balls to do anything, with a black driver getting the WDC they wouldn't want to have the public press of being accused of racism. Notice all the press releases are overly nice in regards to Louise.

Damn this f'en PC world we live in.

Louise was brake checking Fred thru all the pace laps. Imagine if Fred took out Louise in the last few races to give his next employer a gift of the WDC. That would plss RD more than the cash he got dinged for. Afterall if you know your history there is no love lost between the two races, stranger things have happened.

 

what's the problem here? hamilton is off to the right; webber is on the left

how'd hamilton provoke anything
