It is such a fine line. I commend Hamilton for actually having a go and trying to overtake in Monaco. At least the FIA were consistant today.

I don't think kobyashis move was so different, looking at the replay.

What makes you think that any of those ladies would allow you "in" them?

Who said anything about allow. Couple of bottles of champing and shots..

Ok, only just finished watching but think the result was a complete joke in the end :S

I completely disagree really with the ability to fix the cars during the restart... Neither Hamilton nor Vettel/Alonso should have been allowed replacement tyres and the fix on the wing...

Tules are rules, so it spooky this race a little, but at other races with more cars involved in the carnage, then not allowing changes would reck the race. You can't regulate for every incident and it happens so rarely anyway.

Joke. They both did the same thing

Totally agree, I also agree with Hamilton on maldanado incident.

Still, Montreal next. Properly great track.

Yep love Canada. Wall of champions.

Glaucus · 29 May 2011 at 17:51

Perhaps it's due to 5 incidences in 6 races, all of which went against him.

Glaucus · 29 May 2011 at 17:53

They only want fa ke overtaking.

How about they just slice the cars width by a third and do what they said, remove been more downforce. It has clearly worked just under 0.5 seconds yet again.

Agree unless you have a far superior car, you need the aggressive and annoying attitude.

Glaucus · 29 May 2011 at 18:37

And the tunnel crash due to damage. Wtf he tried going on the marbles and you could see him lose it. Damage my ****

I'm sure people will talk better of Hamilton in 20 years, there were plenty of people who thought Senna was a **** at the time too

Same as MS, most people have put away their grudges against him and recognise despite his dubious actions, he holds most records.

Nice guys just don't win big, unless they have an amazing car.

The one he didnt slam into the side of him, yes

Becuase ms gave him room. Where was hammy meant to go? He was as far over as he could. Be and on full lock. Even slamming on the breaks to a full stop wouldn't of got him out of there.

Then, ya know.. Don't go for it? :/

Picking your time to attack is a quality of excellent drivers, this wasn't his greatest choice..

So. Never go for an over take at Monaco?
Several over takes happened in identical ways and worked, because the other driver realised that someone was there and gave enough room.
So either you go for it or you might as well ban overtaking at such a race track.

Schumacher's tyres were pretty screwed at the time and iirc he'd lost a bit of grip going into the corner so took the sensible option. That was a more calculated move.

how was it more calculated? If MS had done the same, Hamilton would have hit and had a third penalty.

Glaucus · 29 May 2011 at 20:00

How can people watch that and blamehamilton,what did the stewards watch.

Even hitting hammy maldanado still went over the Kerbs, that's how early he turned, hammy was well up alongside him.

Just catching up on iPlayer, did lewis just say it's because he is black???

Seriously?

IMO and others it's clearly a joke. But foolish words and will be back to bite him.

Glaucus · 29 May 2011 at 20:06

This weekend so needs being investigated just to clarify rules, safety and everything else.

I suspect that right now there is a McLaren press officer or PR wonk sat head in hands wondering just how much damage Hamilton will have done by the end of the season if he keeps this up

Head in hands?, he's cracking open the champaign. Overtime and job security for that fella.

My beef about Hammy is he just comes across as a spoilt schoolkid sometimes. He's in a great team, gets paid loadsa money, and then when he balls up he can't seem to say "Sorry...screwed up!" without losing his toys. Compare with Di Resta....chalk and cheese

have you watched the replays?
He has said he's stuffed up in the past.

Glaucus · 29 May 2011 at 20:22

Of course not, but anger is good. Especially when it's been 5 out of 6 races.
