why no penalty for Hamilton?

I think the fact we are still complaining about inconsistant penalties being applied (or the lack of transparancy on decisions) means we aren't in a state where we can introduce a sin-binning type approach.

True. Definitely need a dedicated team of stewards who can demonstrate the ability to be consistent before we go sin binning anyone.......

You find it ridiculous because it doesn't suit your previous ridiculous statement. I described exactly the situation you said people should be punished for, therefore, I'm going to assume you admit that your statement was also ridiculous.

It's ridiculous because the two situations are nothing alike.

LOL They are exactly the same.

Now, I'll explain this simply so you can undestand. I walk out in front of a car without looking properly - careless action.

I could have caused injury to myself but I didn't. I could also have caused injury to the car that was forced to take avoiding action or brake suddenly (take your pic of whatever action the car had to take) to avoid me. Even worse, if the the car had to swerve to avoid me, they could have hit another pedestrian, or even another car. Who knows what may have happened. There could have been multiple injuries and fatalities.

So, clearly it was a careless action that could have caused injury, which satisifies all criteria in your ridiculous statement. Should we start punishing everyone that walks out in front of car and doesn't see it? Could create lots of employment for people policing such laws :D

Walking out in front of a car will pretty much only cause injury to yourself. Hamilton was more likely to injure someone else. Completely different.

Please reread the second paragraph of my last post. You're wrong and you know it. It's kind of funny seeing you deny it such an abismal manner really LOL :D

I believe that you are rather confused. Walking out in front of a car, you're only really going to injure yourself. Spinning your car around on a race track rather than just staying still, quite likely to injure someone else.

yes, Lewis could have hurt himself, but that's not why he got the penalty and why he got all of his other penalties, it's because he endangered other people. Walking out in front of a car endangers you and you alone. Your analogy is rubbish, sorry.

Oh dear. You appear to be having a slow day. I'm going to quote what you said and explain again, just so you can catch up.

Lets make it clear that we are no longer talking about Lewis here so please stop backtracking by referring back to Sunday's incident. Your statement clearly says PEOPLE! That could mean anyone. If you meant F1 drivers only, then you might want to correct your ridiculous statement.

My analogy is absolutely correct. I believe my 5 year old nephew would be able to figure it out. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you are generally smarter than a 5 year old and are either having a brain fade day, or you're really desperate to not admit you are incorrect.

By the way, when I was 14 I saw an old woman walk out in front of a car. Trying to avoid her the driver swerved and, in doing so, he went up onto the kerb on the opposite side of the road and smashed hit a kid in my school two years ahead of me. Luckily, he lived, but his legs were broken in about multiple different places and he has never been right since. The driver also suffered minor injuries. Should this old woman have been punished?

Not to be funny, but if we're not talking about Lewis, why are we in this thread? Go post in Chit Chat if you want to discuss whether people stepping out in front of cars should be punished.
