Marlow,

I know that this issue of Hamilton'spenalty gets confused. He was probably far off from Vettel and Webber but Webber and Vettel had fears to surpass Hamilton. The moment you surpass a car whilke following the safety car you automatically get penalize.

In this case and despite the fact that Hamilton was on the far right the fact that he almost stall his car that created a "imaginary" horizontal line in which the car behind can't pass. The reaction from Webber was to hit the brakes for fear of a penalty thus the car behind him collide.


I am not the FIA agent so I am not even going to speculate. I can go both ways, I understand boths parts involved.

Well, I guess we are 3 hours away to find out if your man can beat my man uhm? . In 3 hours from this post we will seeeither a new world champion or we would have to wait until the last race..

^ they wouldn't get penalize if they accidentally pass under yellow flag or behind safety car and give back the position. Massa was penalize for passing while following safety car because he lost a position by going off course and than pass someone to take the position back.

just like when you pass someone while going off course, you have to give the position back.

looks like it's going to be another race in the rain, this is going to be good.

 

the rookie finally makes a rookie mistake, looks like the world championship won't be determine to the last race.

they could have used the crane to pull Hamilton's car out like they did on the other race where he was stuck in the gravel.

 

Hell yeah KIMI !!!!

It's not over yet, but i really think that LH will pull it out in Brazil. I think it was more a combination of team management not bringing him in when other guys were switching to the dry tires and him not coming into the pits slow enough.

I'm really happy that Vettel got 4th. He needed that after last week. Torro Rosso jumps up to 7th in the constructor's standings.

Sucks having to wait two weeks now.

 

perfect outcome if you ask me!

 

yeah right

At this point I don't care if FA doesn't win the championship as long as the young punk (LH) doesn't make it. Watching Ecclestone, RD and LH's daddy crying like little girls would be PRICELESS!

 

OMG!!!! I turned the TV off after he DNF. Man... liked someone pissed on my Cornflakes. He needs to come no less then second place to secure the tittle. Go LEWIS I KNOW YOU WILL PULL IT OFF! I am going to get someone pregnant just to name that child LEWIS HAMILTON if he pulls it off. BOY or GIRL!

 

They couldn't do that because the pit lane is too small and you can't avoid a crane or car being hoisted out there if you want to pit, especially when there is a high likelihood of another car going off in the same spot. What would happen if a car went to pit, went to avoid a crane pulling someone out of the gravel or a car suspended in mid-air, and a crash resulted? They would have to not only CALL the pits closed, but actually physically close them, which they wouldn't do just for the sake of a person going off there. It's not because of some conspiracy to make the last race interesting though.
