Re: Fair decision

correct analyis, many dont understand that, they think hamilton gave way to kimi after the pass. You need to understand more technical details of racing to know that.
I watched the whole race and I can't beleive how the stewards can make such a stupid decision. I have always thought there is a bunch of stewards in that panel who are ferrari crazy guys!
Lewis deserves this win. Kimi would have defenitely gone off the track even if he was leading because he can't race in wet conditions. Lewis did allow Kimi to go infront and overtook him from behind. If the points are not given back to Hamilton its a clear fact that the FIA stewards are highly influenced by Ferrari.
Having watched the race from start to finish, all I can say is that Hamilton won the race fair and square. Kimi pushed him wide which made him cut across the chicane but he gained no advantage as he let the Ferrari through on the straight. Its only at the next corner did Hamilton pounce again. It was a legitimate move in what would normally be termed a "racing incident". But Ferrari being the losers they are proving to be, lodged a complaint and had Lewis stripped off his win...and championship lead. All I have to say is that Mclaren are being targetted for no fault of theirs. Going by this logic, Massa should have been given atleast a drive-through penalty at Valencia for being released into the direct path of Force India's Adrian Sutil. But what did he get? A frigging 10,000 euros fine??? Come on FIA, get your act together!!

With Due respect to Hamiltion..pls check the footage of hamiltion gaining position over kimi..Hamiliton could not have taken the lead over Kimi in next corner if he had not jumped the chicane earlier..

Ya I checked the footage. Where did he gain the advantage. Didn;t you see him slow down to let Kimi go ahead and then overtake from back?

what did Hamilton get for crashing blindly into Kimi's back in the pitlane few races before
Formula 1 official site confirms that Hamiliton had gained position as he jumped a chicane over Raikkonen.. With 2 Point Difference between Massa(74) and Hamilton(76)..future races gonna be interesting and edge of the seat..

Ferrari sucks. Raikonnen can't race under wet condition he would have lost to Hamilton at any case.
what happened to force india? probably rediff thought anyway they will finish last in all races, so why to update that they finished last and thats why did not mention here
