It's Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton. Not HAM. Might be irrational but I find it reprehensibly stupid abbreviating it.

And when he span that time, he put himself into a stupid amount of risk, but didn't force anyone off the track, which is what he was quite clearly was penalised for last night, so I do not understand how you can even compare the two.

Will say though that Di Resta may have exaggerated it slightly, didn't really have to run completely off the track, looked like there was space, but I guess I'd rather over do it than under do it and hit him.


Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it? What if Lewis had made the spin a little less tight, and di Resta hadn't exaggerated it? They've have had an accident and di Resta would be at fault for not exaggerating it. There was a car spinning into his line in front of him. In the split second he had to react I doubt he was going to know exactly where Lewis was going to stop.

The bottom line is, you don't spin the car round in front of traffic. Whether he managed to leave a cars width or not is not even the debate. You just don't do it.

Better to exaggerate it then underestimate it.

Well, maybe he feels he's being discriminated against within his own team; after all, Perez was penalised when he passed the other Lotus illegally.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

There is one big factor in the di resta discussion, everything happened in the blink of an eye. Imagine you are di Resta, there is a car spinning in front of you, you have like 0,3 seconds to decide what to do... the moment Lewis was spinning the car back on the racing line, di resta couldn't possibly know where Lewis would end up on the track in that split second decision.

I think Jarno is just fed up with the F1 in general. I hope he'll move to another category next year (Endurance would be awesome)

Id prefer Chandhok to get his ass in a permanent commentary role, he's a lost talent on the track!

And to think that when Trulli first came into F1 I was a big supporter of him, Austria 97 anyone. But now I cant fucking stand him, always someone else's fault and just complain complain complain. The power steering thing was quite hilarious though. Power steering is shit all season long, get dropped for a race and well what do you know they magically fixed it in a couple of weeks. Please Jarno.

Yeah unfortunately he isn't F1 worthy, I cant see Lotus giving him a full time drive.

I would agree. No matter how much room Hamilton left, it doesn't matter. Now I can understand why he was in a rush to get going again but what he did was dangerous. I have never seen another driver do that and I was even more shocked when one of the commentators said it wasn't something he should get a penalty for.

They'll only let you get into video section if you take part in discussions, not 25 one-lined posts commenting on the obvious. Try harder.


Have seen shorter posts from guys who are already in :lol:

I rate the Grand Prix stuff with one word or number and most of my posts are one liners. Shoot me.
