Poll on www.f1.com:
Do you believe Lewis Hamilton should be penalised over his driving behind the safety car in Japan?

• Yes = 65.68%
• No = 31.02%
• Don't Know = 3.30%

Under normal circumstances I would support Ferrari, but I 'll go with Alonso here Hami's getting his bacon dragged over the coals, and I hope his points go up in smoke too

\o/ CHAK DE ALONSO \o/

I hope he gets banned and they take away his 10 points and also give him 10 grid place penalty.. then raiki can win

when are they deciding on this?

Could be today according to this:

[AirWolf]

Lol - only because they don't have a choice.
Remember there has only ever been one german WC.
And Ferrari were nothing without him and Scheckter...
They have only won the WC with those two drivers... ever!

Not according to this and this

YouTube - Hamilton GP-FUJI Safetycar crash

Hami kinda looks like he wanted to overtake the safety car then decided not to

 

[micang]

We all saw what happened. He was probably let off because of his threat to quit. link

Hamilton has a lot to learn and my opinion of him is changing. I'm becoming like all the previous Schumi Hating fans.

Did any of you even watch the video on youtube?

I am not a Hamilton supporter (Kimi FTW), but jeez, guys, he did absolutely nothing wrong. Correct decision to do nothing.

 

[AirWolf]

Hamilton is a disease that has infected F1

Hamilton is a disease that has infected F1

And he scores another pole position for the Chinese GP.

Why is he so hated? I lost interest on F1 after SABC lost the broadcasts rights.

 

[AirWolf]

He is hated because after only a single year in F1 he shoots off his mouth comparing himself to other hall of fame drivers and he is absolutely arrogant

I saw it and thought that he was culpable.

Here we have a video of a guy setting up his opponents to overtake him and so be punished for overtaking behind the safety car and he gets off scot free.

Would love to hear the two affected drivers versions of this.

Senna must be rolling in his grave.

 

[killadoob]

The weather was atrocious - he got a bit close to the pace car and moved over rather than prang it up the rear. What happened to his left after that was also caused by the rain. Surely you saw that?

It could be either. He purposely sped up (knowing how fast a pace car can go, around a corner and in the wet!), moved to the right protecting his rear AND narrow the angle as you are not allowed to overtake. He was fully aware that something was going to happen! Ruthless tactic that one day will come back and haunt him.
