I'm not usually a believer in conspiracies, but honestly I have to say that McLaren is getting penalized way too easily, this time almost for nothing. :down:
Also Coulthard has been crashing for the whole year and has got no penalties. Kovalainen got a penalty only for one thing. :down:
i nearly got turned off f1 after the Spy-Gate incident...but this freakin incident can really put me over the line unless Mclaren wins the appeal
It's such a shame that one of the best races of the year so far has descended into a farce. I'm pretty sure McLaren will appeal and I really hope they win
Alright, who let iMoan in the stewards' room? ;)
So essentially this is what has happened in the last couple of weeks: Ferrari nearly kill someone in Spain and get a slap on the wrist; Lewis Hamilton races somebody and gets penalised for it. Well, as long as that's the way we're racing, I'll go and find something less contrived. NASCAR perhaps...
Of course, it's worth remembering that because they've had to surrender £100 million to Max's Chelsea Dungeon Fund, McLaren haven't got the same amount of money to spend on backhanders as certain other people...
:rotflmao: Good to have a laugh in such serious thread. :DQuote:

I don't see how Hamilton gained an advantage between the chicane and La Source. He allowed Raikkonen to re-take the lead and was back into the same position he had been just before the chicane, ie. challenging Raikkonen for the lead of the race. I can't see where Hamilton gained the advantage.
The FIA is a joke.
Ferrari put peoples health & safety at risk in Valencia with ludicrous pitlane antics and get a small and meaningless fine. One race later a driver is forced into a move which he then immediately reverses and is approved by the race director and is punished with what is effectively a 8 point penalty.
F1 doesnt need the FIA, infact it is ruining the sport and holding it back from becoming more popular, what with Max Mosley's antics, the ridiculous witch hunts from last season and a string of obscene and out-proportioned penalties against McLaren this season.
