On the other hand...Hamilton surely should have waited until the next turn to make his move if he wanted to ensure he would not be penalised. I also think that if he had time to steer when he cut the corner he would have had time to brake (the corner is what you might call a slow corner by F1 standards and he is a pro driver).
He he - I said penalised...

Butas Kimi crashed out anyway, surely whatever happened beforehand is trivial?
It now means that yet another thing is going to have to be sorted out by the lawyers and officials off the track, taking away yet more from the excitement on the track. It makes a mockery of the sport.
*chortle* penalised *chortle*

TrueBut the fact that Kimi went out later shouldn't have a bearing on little Lewis and his naughty driving - he was a very bad boy. Kinda.
I know what you mean though - the sport isn't a sport anymore. Clubman racing is where it's at. Maybe when I start I can get a b3ta sponsorship deal...

it's not really got anything to do with Rai' crashing out though.......If Ham' gained time by cutting the corner, then it affects his position in the top three.
As he slowed down to a degree, it shouldn't have, and he would still have been ahead of Massa, so by that it's all moot.
The cynic in me thinks that it's a Ferrari put up job, but in all honesty, it's probably the FIA trying to keep the drivers championship as close as possible to make it more "entertaining".
