Formula One 2012

clown had been driving off the track on the outside of a turn all race anyway

edit- just read he's had 20 seconds added to his race classification for running into Lewis. so much for his claim

[JAS-25T]

He had three options the way I see it:

1) go over the speed humps outside the race track

b) yield and try overtake elsewhere

iii) hit hammo.

[ctjet]

deserved penalties for all

JEV the worst of the bunch

rookie move in the extreme

[Roy]

People had been trying anf doing that move all race weekend. It didnt work this time as Maldanado is a bit of a hatchet man and Lewis left him no room, which was silly give he had one and a half laps to go on fried tyres and was going backwards anyway.... I cant lie...i pissed my pants with joy when Hamo ended up in the wall

BUT, post race, Hamo was a champ. He wasnt crying wounded victim, he handled the post race really well...so maybe if that attitude continues then I can start to like the guy again

Dan was having a good race until Petrov, which was a shame as he would have ended up 7th or 8th

Schumacher holds onto third.

Accused by Mark Webber of using his DRS under a yellow flag situation, Schumacher had to face the stewards on Sunday evening.

Team boss Ross Brawn was confident he would not face a penalty, telling the BBC that he had ' personally double-checked the data and Schumacher stopped using is 30m before the yellow flag zone so he's confident there won't be a penalty.'

And after examining the evidence the stewards ruled that Schumacher had slowed sufficiently and he retained his third.

[sh@un]

Is it just bad luck or is Hamo a magnet for this sort of contact?

[hrd-hr30]

Hamo isn't just a magnet for it - he created the situation that caused it by pushing overtaking cars off the track when he clearly wasn't going to be able to hold onto the position anyway. How many other passes happened in that exact way all day long? Every other driver managed to get through cleanly, by choosing to allow a car width for the car that was beside them rather than risking a collision by forcing them off the track. Everybody except Hamilton, that is. he chose the 'risk collision' option and got away with bullying the Renault in exactly the same way the lap before, but Maldonardo was just as obstinant as Hamilton and the inevitable happened...

I think its a harsh penalty for Maldonardo.

[iamhe77]

Someone better follow hammo to pasters box could be some blood letting lol

Blood letting?

Only time Lewis instigates some blood letting is when he nicks himself shaving (see how I kept that clean?).

As much as I wanted to see Williams get a podium - it was Maldanados fault. You just dont rejoin the track and fire into the side of someone. What the shot above doesnt show was that he had four wheels off the circuit - to be honest I was surprised he got away with a 20 second penalty. He has to stop doing stupid sht - Melbourne was bad enough, then Monaco, now this.

[hrd-hr30]

he was only off the track because Hamilton forced him off...

if you squeeze someone that hard, you have to realise it comes with a risk of collision.

The whole situation was caused by Hamilton, who had no chance of hanging on to that position anyway.
