RE:Schumi the eternal

Dont post such comments on the net as you are being evaluated by everyone.Shumi is and will remain a legend.He cannot be downsized by a ignorant fool like you.pls check credentials before commenting.F1 needs extensive study,,it seems you are a newcomer in this field.
He started in a mc laren which was easily the best car last year...agreed he has talent but to call him the next Schumacher is foolish...schumi won 92 races...hamilton in all probablity will not win half as much...schumi went to ferrari when it was not a top car and made the team into a world beating one...
Hamilton has a lot to prove still...kimi and alonso even massa drive better then him ...
...idiot. just like a brash young teenager. he is only winning because he started his career with mclaren, nothing else. and he is a big big excuse for a quality F1 driver...

exactly .. i completly agree that he is only winning coz he started on mclaren . Had this chance been to Niko Reoseberg or Kubica they wud have done wonders ,
and hitting a stationary Red Car in pits .. is unexplainable .. wat a pity that we have such stupids in the toprunners of the sport
I actually find the penalty quite harsh. True Lewis made a mistake and that cost Kimi. But if you have noticed carefully, Kimi was driving at full speed out of the pits and suddenly came to a halt. For people who drive cars, think about it... in a traffic-ridden road, which one do you notice FIRST? The car in front of you or the lights? When a car in front of you SUDDENLY comes to a halt (and not a gradual slowing down), is it a mighty fault?
Secondly, if Hamilton's mistake causing Kimi to quit is penalised by 10 places, why not Kimi who caused Sutil to quit? Is it because Kimi is a frontrunner and has a lot to lose while Sutil has none? Lewis made a mistake in pits...and Kimi on the track...but so what? A mistake is a mistake at the end of the day and both the mishaps occurred when the race was ON. Even Sutil slowed down in Monaco round a corner, while Kimi didn't.
My point is, both the mistakes are very very similar in nature, yet two very different punishments are handed out.

a race situation is different from a pit stop one where human lives are involved....u need to be utmost carefulll...hamilton deserves the punishment...
If u had seen the race just before collision he tried to avoid kimi by suddenly going to the right...that again shows his foolishness bcos he could have hit a steward if he has lost control

Traffic 101 - No matter how fast or slow the front car is the back car has to maintain safe distance. Any accident caused by the back car (rear ending) is the fault of the back car only. So it is the fault of Hamilton. He shud have been banned for 2 races instead of a lenient penalty of just 10 places on grid.

Dear frend , Do not try to judge what you do not understand .
U seems to be new to sport and that too just becoz They have named the spykers as Force-india
Hitting a running car and misjudging the apex of curve is something else while hitting a stationary Car is sheer stupidity and that shows how mature F1 driver hamilton is .

by the way at the moment lewis was frontrunner when he crashed to end his lead just like kimi...the point however is in a rain affected gp,while driving at 300 kmph it is easy to cost a mistake..but what leis did was inexplicable simply..by his own accounts he saw the red light first and then the cars stopping infront of him..but since he is as much rash as he is fast,he thought to extract some advantage there throwing caution to wind and ending both of their races...
however as a fan of f1,this has made the world champship more iteresting as now it is a 4 way race!!!!!may the best driver win
I am sure Kimi must have realized how it feels to be hit from behind and taken out of the race for no fault of our own!!! I am sure Kimi will win many more races, but poor Adrian Sutil had once in a lifetime opportunity to take 4th place last race. Sport is always a great leveler....

For your information Adrian Sutil would have got 25 sec penality for crossing 3 cars under yellow flag after the race if he would have finished, which will put him 10th and he would have not got any points. Any way neither Kimi nor did Hamilton did it deliberately, but kimi lost control on a wet track at 200km/hr which can be considered a racing incident.

Calling me an idiot shows that you can accept that you were wrong. By doing this you made an idiot out of yourself. Grow up.

hee hee hee .. u behave like kids .. but that does not change facts that hamilton is a stupid blind F1 driver
Hamilton sees red light late, tries to brake late, sees two cars standing in front, then as a reflex action choses the red one so that Ferrari pays for his stupidity. Sorry Lewis but ask yourself

kimi was ahead of lewis during the pit lane pile up, kimi ws on the strategy being on less fuel and track position was the main focus of the team, but lewis ruined it big time coz he knew once kimi flies, he cudnt have got hold of the race, hard luck KIMI but this is nt the end, plenty of races still to go.
RE:Its Simple
by Truth on Jun 12, 2008 10:49 AM
You are absolutely right Nimmu.
Lewis has not had enough time to see red light and the cars in front of him. But, he has enough time to choose Kimi's car to hit. Instead of hitting Kubica who was straight in front of him. He took a left turn and hit Kimi. Good thinking under pressure Lewis. You know you deliberately choose Kimi to crash.

What is Indian about Force India? Cheif Designer British, Base Location: UK, Drivers: German & Italian, even a test driver's not an Indian, the entire support staff is British. The only thing you consider Indian is the owner, but he too's an NRI. Now please enlighten me why as an Indian should I cheer this team of perpetual losers which sucks big-time?

Well said. The only reason why Mallya bought and runs the Force India cars is to promote the Kingfisher brand. Kingfisher is entering the international flight sector from 2009 and its a perfect branding strategy for him to promote the name well in advance. Also its easy for people to relate that Kingfisher is an Indian brand. So there is nothing Indianised about it. Its only pure business. But lousy business.

what is so indian abut FORCE INDIA except its name ? it wud have been a diffrent matter had it been a indian car , an indian driver
What happened to this guy when I saw he was at 6th position and when the raced was finished he was retired. I think Mallya is putting on Old Horse. He needs to get new Horses.
