Had hamilton not cut the chicane there he wud be on the racing line of the circuit and was not in position to over-take at all .. it was just that cutting the chicane that gave him that chance to be Off-the racing line with that much speed in hand to make that overtaking move ..
Isnt it amazing that hamilton never ever escapes any possible penalty while ferrari manages to get away with everything? Massa almost banged into force india car in the previous race but then no action was taken against him!!!! not even a drive through .... it reeks of partiality ..... not to take away anything from massa's previous performance but a foul is a foul and the stewards should call a spade a spade everytime who ever the player may be

Yes, we all know that Massa was fines 10K Euros for the incident. But we also know that 10K Euros in Formula One doesn't even qualify to be called "peanuts".... So now I hope you realise the eyewash.

oh come on.... did u see the european gp... , sutil's forceindia car was also exiting at the same time.. when massa was exiting the pitlane. and massa was not aware of that.. and also massa did not intend to take illegal advantage of the race and sutil was racing on 17th position and massa was on 1st position... but here hamilton took an undue advantage. i will agree tha he let go kimi after jumping the chicane.. but after jumping the chicane he was off the racing line and with that he positioned his car in such a way that he can ouertake in the first corner.... now thats an illegal advantage.... its not the partiality of the race stewards ...
