You need to lay off the booze so early on a sunday afternoon or you will be asleep by 6pm

Doesn't mean I want him to win

Fair do's but don't wish a non finish on him for his 200th GP at the circuit he made his first win at.

Possible accident and yellow flag with this train? Would make the last stage of the race pretty interesting.

The driver is allowed to take action to remove himself and car from a dangerous situation. Its one of the main race drivers regulations

Pretty sure that doesn't include doing a 180 from off the racing line, back onto it, in the middle of traffic and forcing other cars off the road in the process.

It's just not defensible, he shouldn't have done it and the penalty was justified, and that's coming from a McLaren fan, i'm no Lewis hater. In fact i've been accused of exactly the opposite on here.

Not sure what he could have done differently to avoid the penalty then?

Should he have sat there idle hoping a gap would appear to spin it round again?

Another win screwed by a penalty.

What a joke.

Yeah, nothing to do with the fact he made the wrong tyre choice either

He wouldn't have won anyway the inters call put paid to that, probably cost him a place I would think not much more.

Yes remove himself & car from a dangerous situation. Not almost cause an accident!

car was parked in the middle of the track after a corner, if he left the car there the chance of accident is extremely high. That is what he and his team will claim. Its up to other divers to avoid people on the race track hence the penalties for touching on overtakes.

ALL ABOARD!!! (the Kobyashi train)

Yes thats whats dictated for them to do - you cant guess a slowly moving car, you can when its stationary and so can avoid it easier at the speeds/closing distances they are doing...

Er, you missed the fact he spun and messed up his tyre choice as well then?

So you are saying that a stationary car is more dangerous than someone doing a 180 onto the racing line? What planet are you from?

Burned_Alive · 31 Jul 2011 at 14:39

Alguersuari next for a penalty surely? Causing an avoidable collision

dannyjo22 · 31 Jul 2011 at 14:39

Yeah it's pointless blaming the stweards really, the tyre call put paid to the race win. A shame because he was by far the best in wet conditions and on slicks.
