Right, so he's going to cheat by penalising himself more than anyone else? You really do talk some utter $h!te!

Well why did he turn sharp left into Raikkonen when he was heading for Kubica ? the videos showed Hamilton turning sharp left, there can be no other explanation other than Hamilton knew he was toast and in a piece of quick thinking decided it would be more beneficial to him over the season to take out Kimi than Kubica

Oh right I see, I thought you just meant he did the whole thing on purpose....

 

In that case, I didn't see it.

This You Tube clip is well worth watching particularly when it reaches 1min 40 secs, and the bit at 1min 50 secs looks very dodgy indeed :o

craigs right, Hamilton re-aimed his silver ferrari at the real ferrari

Would you, or any of the other drivers, have done differently though....?

personally i'd have looked for the red light

Is Hamilton just unlucky at the moment or is the pressure getting to him, as he seems to be making some basic elementary mistakes, in the last race at Canada and now in the French GP. While desparately trying to play catch up after starting 13th, he brushed his own team mate (luckily both got away with it), but then ran wide after he had overtaken Vettel, and not giving up the place, resulting in a drive thru penalty. Thus ruining his race. Why did his boss not tell him to let Vettel pass him?

I thought it was a tad harsh that he got a penalty. I don't think Hamilton is to blame either but McLaren, they should've checked or advised better. Afterall it was they who could see what had happened exactly, not Lewis...

I'm going to Silverstone this weekend :cheer: I'll be the one in the Felipe Massa T-Shirt with the Ferrari sponsor hat and a Brazillian flag :)

 

Here's my homemade scoresheet, let's hope Massa can extend his lead :D

I will naturally be cheering on Kimi from the comfort of my armchair and plasma :cheer:

 

 

I was so happy when Kimi won last year, I was there too then and Massa's charge from the back to fifth place was legendary :P.

 

I'm hoping for a Ferrari 1-2 :P, then Kubica or Glock or Heidfeld on the podium, I also want Webber, A Renault and a Williams in the points :).

 

EDIT: Did you buy that plasma purely for F1 :P that's why my Dad bought ours, it's not the same without plasma!

Yeah if Kimi doesn't do it I hope Massa does ^_^ I am a Ferrari supporter at heart and have been since the days of Gilles Villeneuve so to have my fave driver (Kimi) in my fave team is a dream come true

 

Fingers crossed for Hamilton embarrassing himself again :D

Also here are the constructer standings: Ferrari running away with it at the moment, BMW in second and I think they might be able to stay there if Nick can heat the tyres up better :).

I hope he does :P, I've been a Ferrari supporter throughout my entire time watching the sport (2005 - Now).

 

I was at Brooklands on Saturday and he went off the track a couple of times <_< so it could happen at Silverstone :D

Well why did he turn sharp left into Raikkonen when he was heading for Kubica ?

Because he was hoping to avoid BOTH of them considering there wasn't any clear track to the right maybe? -_-

 

They're all spinning at the moment :o Lewis NEEDS to go into the pits or it'll be China all over again :(

This is the worst race ever :( :mad:

 

The bast*rd not only winning by a minute but Kubica out, Massa getting no points, Ferrari destroying Kimi's race :(

 

The cheat has this and the title sewn up way things are going :(

Fantastic drive! A brilliant answer to all the critics and it's gonna make an interesting second half of the season for sure! :cheer:

Yet today he drove a masterclass. Where everyone else was f***ing up their strategies and struggling to stay on the track he just drove his best and won at a canter, a superb drive. Also great to hear and see the crowd going so wild, proof that the vast majority of Britian are getting behind their number one driver! :D

 

Pleased for Heidfeld and Rubens too, the only other two that never messed up.

Yet he still stuck 2 fingers up to those very same people that cheer for him by leaving Britain for tax exile in Switzerland, those that cheered him today pay tax that keep the services of this country running, their idol pays nothing into the economy even though he earns £50m a year so as far as I am concerned he is a Swiss driver

 

And McLaren isn't British either, it was founded by a Kiwi and is 40% owned by a German car manufacturer, 30% by the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, 20% by a Lebanese watch tycoon and 10% by Ron Dennis, McLaren are based in Britain but only 10% British

 

So as far as I am concerned it is a Swiss driver driving for a German team
