Sorry, but these are racing drivers. They are in it to win and F1 has a long history if you need a reminder on to what extent these drivers will go to win. (Including ramming other cars off the track) I'd say this was pretty miniscule. Also, I see the situation as Hamilton took the right action at the right time to get out of a incredibly dangerous situation relatively cleanly. Quote:
I don't think the FIA will force a change, it was just speculation after all. But I wouldn't be surprised if something did come out of it though.

Pretty sure that Brundle and Coulthard decided that it shouldn't be a penalty before the Stewards even raised it for discussion. You are right though, DC had an Eagle eye that last race.

One example I can think of, there was a radio message from RBR to Webber about his KERS, Varsha then basically repeats the message word for word and then goes on to talk about what KERS is. While the DC on the other hand, went on to explain the reason why they wanted Webber only using KERS in certain situations As Martin Brundle said, DC is such a good commentator, cause he was recently in an F1 car and know whats going on from a drivers perspective, while Hobbs, Matcheett and Varsha are just regular spectators like any of us |

by doing that however, di Resta was coming towards the chicane and had to avoid him by going off the track. Let me provide an example, Australian GP 2010, First Lap Turn 1, Fernando Alonso was pitted and facing the wrong way. He had to wait till the whole field passed then he can execute the recovery. Mark Webber, Canada 2011, he recovered almost immediately after spun out between turn 1 and 2. But that was because he was on the pit exit area where no other cars around. Then he was able to join the traffic flow and continue racing. My point was, drivers can only make recover when there are no other cars coming near you. Hamilton might be able to avoid the penalty if he waited till di Resta passed. Given he claimed he wasn't able to see di Resta coming and executed the recover. Well, Paul had to avoid and went off.

I recall Vettel's first win in STR and RBR, were both in heavy rain condition throughout the race and started behind a safety car. He might be a wet master, but still a bit lacking in "changing condition".

Also, Button was right behind Di Resta coming out of the chicane. If Hamilton had waited on di Resta, being a backmarker at the time, he would have also had to wait on Button entirely.

He was very sharp in terms of regulation (given his last F1 race was only a few years ago, and still does a lot RBR promotion around the world, as well as continuing on DTM racing), as well as drivers possibly broke any regulations. And this year, Brundle gives us the excitement, but made a few minor mistakes by recognize the wrong car or small stuff. BBC had a great team this season.

By the way, i think there's more failure on the Renault. I do not think the car will just disintegrate itself by sitting just 20 seconds. Otherwise, it could've burn itself on the grid start.
I wonder if the FIA will say something to Renault now given is more and more like a safety concern and reliability issue.

If you see other incidents where people spin, they always wait for a break in opposing traffic before getting back on the track/spinning back around. |

You're screwed anyways!!!! Probably its better for Lewis to wait it out for the traffic to pass, but he's keen to get back to the race. Also, who knows if di Resta would see him or not and collide. Its always dangerous to just sit in the middle of the track where its just the exit of a corner/chicane.

Not a fan of Hamilton's, but I definitely feel for him. I certainly would have liked for him to finish ahead of Vettel, in order to keep the championship somewhat alive. |
