2008 Belgian GP - Race 13/18

[Scottland]

"Hamilton steers his car off road to avoid Rosberg and then Raikkonen overtakes under waved yellows. Anyone spot a penalty there...? Certainly not the stewards. It's interesting to note that they came up with the Bruno Senna decision within a lap, the Kovalainen decision within a lap, and yet the Hamilton decision to investigate came after the race."

Didnt see the waved yellows, are they talking carp or was that under yellows?

They could still turn around and issue Kimi a penalty, it'll not make a jot of difference though as he was DNF...but then the stewards/FIA will be being "fair"

The evasion move Hamilton did with Rosberg was amazing. Somehow he steered away from Rosberg but at the same instant realised that he needed to go way way left onto the grass to avoid being rear ended by Raikonnen.

Can't teach that.

i would avoid the forum though its infested with the worst of the ferrari fanboys

Nice quote:

"If there is a true god of F1 then the remaining races will all be wet and we can see Lewis sort the men from the boys".

The FIA complaints telephone number is doing the rounds on the motoring forums

Still shocked by this decision.

Planet F1 pretty much sums it all up for me. They hold identical views on everything.

I can understand why the FIA don't want Hamilton to win to be honest, another Schumacher would be bad for business, winning the title every year.

Has he won a F1 title yet?

It's only a matter of time.

Edit: Assuming the FIA let him

this is the problem with modern racing circuits. Stick walls at the side of the track, and no one will cut corners...

Agreed, and he even lost position due to it, bloody stewards

Then every race will come down to pace cars. I know which I'd prefer (ie FIA to stop being stupid and let the races just run)
