It was a very dangerous move. All Lewis fans have to understrand, he could also get hurt.

And the conclusion, use your brain.

Oh please, this thread, the posts on this thread, and countless others based off of two races in 2011 is enough evidence that some people have serious beef with Lewis. Every single action of his sparks so much overreaction, it's amazing. And add to that, the weekly threads about Hamilton by 555-IQ-OF-20 (I kid, I kid) :p in the cloak of lightheartedness where all Lewis haters get together and have a nice little bonfire is evidence enough. It's for everyone to see.

I ask again, why didn't anyone call for a race ban on Sebastian Vettel for his bonehead moves at Turkey, Silverstone and Spa in 2010?

The extensive brain usage on your amazing one liners are excellent examples. :up: :)

Tbh I always said the Turkey incident was 50:50. Sebastian was coming over slowly and his team mate just flat out refused to move at all. But anyhoo.....

If you can't accept that some people genuinely don't like the way Lewis drivers then I feel sorry for you.

We can again have countless pages of discussion how the incident with Massa and Maldonado at Monaco was 50-50, if you want to. ;)

Dislike for a driver's style I can understand. The annoyance is over some people being anal about something as petty or ridiculous as a penalty not being harsh enough. So, it's not enough that a penalty was dished out for a no-contact incident, was taken, and the driver even apologized for it, but here we have 1000 pages of people still whining over it. If this is not unreasonable beef with a certain individual, then I don't know what is.

God forbid if Lewis ever did anything like this, Mark would make a million dollars in a day off of traffic generated by Lewis haters alone.

Tbh I think that any driver who does that should never race in anything ever again, not evern karts.

Well, he's still racing, and what's worse, coached some kids on a racing reality series on TV. If Lewis ever does anything that irresponsible, like Paul Tracy, then his criticism is 100% justified. His move at Hungaroring was reckless, yes, but he got his penalty and apologized, the affected driver didn't mind, case closed. Multiple pages in a thread with people whining over the penalty not being harsh enough means only one thing. The trolls were not fed enough.

and if you look back I said that it's not a huge deal, the deal for me is the Lewis fanclub coming on here and almost making out that he'd done nothing wrong, and then trying to brand everyone who took issue with the move as some kind of hater :dozey:

This sort of topic is getting tiring to say the least when people are getting branded as haters for merely having an opinion.

I really haven't seen anybody doing that in this thread. I for one have maintained, and I think almost everybody else agrees that the move was wreckless, the penalty was well, just, even though there was no contact, the apology was classy, Di Resta wasn't bothered, end of chapter.

But I guess people have to do SOME thing with their free time...

And, beyond that, why does it matter?
