Lewis Hamilton of the race

I have no issue with Hamilton's penalty or this so called meeting... as long as there is a penalty for Schumacher (to be served in the next race) and a meeting about the 7 time champ too. I don't want F1 to turn into the IRL, where they crash as much as they race. But I also don't want to watch a bunch of whimpering pansies, who cry every time someone gets next to their sidepods. Lewis has had a LOT of avoidable incidents this season (I think Monaco was the most disturbing). The only issue I have is that when other drivers have similar incidents, they're not always called to the carpet. We don't want a Brian Barnhart (IRL) here. We need consistency. And if the drivers start whining too much, they need to be given the old Eddie Gossage message: shut up and drive!

So true Schumacher has been running into so many drivers this season right, just like lewis - driving into other cars while attempting impossible overtaking moves and ruining his and their race, completely understand your point.

Smells more and more like a witch hunt.

And why should Hekki have any problem with lewis, he only comes across while being lapped.

At the things a going now Lewis has more chance of crashing into a backmarker than winning another WDC. And also a good excuse to keep check on a superior rival.

Wonder if Lewis gonna attend the meeting?

I hope he does attend the meeting and he tells them all to f*ck off and get a life. What a bunch of losers. If this meeting is happening it just proves that these days GP Drivers these days are a bunch of overpaid prima donna's. This is probably because of poor Felipe, whom I personally regard as one of the worst drivers on the grid at the moment, crying after the last race. Nothing Hamilton has done this year has been accompanied with any ounce of intent towards another driver. While we're at will they discuss Pastor Maldonado intentionally cutting across Lewis in Spa qualifying and getting a slap on the wrist for it? Or how about those overtaking maneouveres that did come off, such as the most dangerous one being Webber on Alonso in Spa, but with Webber being lucky enough that Alonso decided to back out of it before they both crashed out and possibly got killed.

Lewis hasn't had that luxury of overtaking people with a brain too often. He had two idiots in Monaco cut across him and leave him no place to go after he committed to an overtake i.e. Felipe and Pastor. Where any of them expected Lewis to go after committing to the overtake and they then cut across him is beyond me. Are you not supposed to leave room for the other driver?

This has the smell of a witch hunt. Pretty soon GP drivers will be complaining about driving in the wet. Oh wait, they already do that, we no longer have standing wet weather starts for "safety". So what is next, ah yes, let us torment the one guy on the grid with a bit of balls. Once that is done maybe they'll cut out corners altogether and simply do straight line racing.

I wouldn't worry about this non-story too much mate. It will turnout to be a load of crap or a couple of moaners getting their knickers in a twist. Doesn't sound like Hekki's even heard about it :laugh:

Odd isn't it. They story's a couple of days old now and despite (no doubt) the media digging around I have not yet seen one driver confirming that there is such a meeting.

A cynic would say that no wonder he doesn't have problems since he was always a light year behind Lewis in the races.
