yes, when asked if he hadn't seen the red light "either" :laugh:

He was laughing as he said it though, more of a nervous laughter before going to the stewards, which is "like going to prison" :D

Lewis - Made himself look a right tit with that incident in all honesty. And the "Sorry IF I ruined Kimi's race"... :rolleyes:

Can't really think of anyone else to nominate really.

He only wouldn't talk about "the incident", fair enough as he was on his way to the stewards... otherwise he was his usual chatty self :)

Lewis.

Nico.

While Piquet, Bourdais and Webber are also noted.

Bourdais really angered me when he pitted.
There was a cock-up with the fuel rig and he threw a hissy fit.

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg tied for their inability to see a red light.

Given the notoriety of the Canadian Grand Prix pit lane light it has to be Lewis and Nico.

Maybe the organisers should introduce a level-crossing style barrier...

I watched footage from an onboard camera as I think Barrichelo was exiting the pits, you can only see the red light like 20 yards from the pit exit. So if you are leaving the pits and approach the pit exit it is literally close to the last moement that you get to see the pit exit lights.

Thats' why Kubica and Raikkoen broke fairly late. Niether one of them saw it with decent time. the others coming behind should have been more watchful yes, but are unable to see the lights for themselves independently.

It's up to the teams to help ( and I said help not for the drivers to soley rely, before someone gets on my case) out the drivers. Perphas more lights along the pit lane are needed or something.

The pit exit lights are placed to the right and a bit deep outside the cross line for cars behind to see properly. That being said, LH should also have been paying attention to the cars in fromt of him. So should have Rosberg,

but grudginglyIhave to say both LH and NR get the donkey. :(

Lewis, Lewis and three times Lewis.

Shouldn't there be a sight test for all F1 drivers? Followed closely by one for common sense and a mandatory course on 'owning up to your mistakes and taking it like a man'.

Idiot.
