why no penalty for Hamilton?

For the record I had no problem with Lewis getting a penalty because he could have easily taken himself and Di Resta out of the race but his actions were not as dangerous as is being discussed IMO. I think its being blown out of proportion and exaggerated to sound alot worse than it was.

I rewatched the race today and one thing that struck me about this incident as I watched it was that DiResta could have passed Lewis without getting onto the grass, or at least it seems that way to me from the camera angle though it would have been a lot closer. This doesn't make a difference either way and the stewards have more info than us anyway. He still shouldn't have done it.

The problem is that di resta, unlike yourself does not have the ability to read minds therefore he left a margin to account for Lewis to move across as obviously Hamilton wasn't showing that he was particularly careful.

You're right, I can't read minds. I can only read posts and what they clearly mean.

Does anyone have a link to the official FIA inident reports? I'd like to see the FIA's actual reasoning on this and I can't find the link on their site?

Why are the police handing out harsh speed tickets to people speeding outside a school for example, they even take their driving licences if the speed is enough.

My opinion has not changed since posting that last week.

10 pages over an incident where nobody was hurt or cars damaged, that was swiftly dealt with by the stewards and sorted out by the drivers straight after the race?!

Some of you lot really need to get out more! :D

Last year there was a 5-page thread about Lewis' new sideburns and ear studs. So, this doesn't surprise me. Nobody was surprised when Beckham or countless other celebrities have worn studs in their ears, but of course when it comes to Lewis, there are exceptions. ;)
