Questionable Non-Penalties?

BINGO!

Maybe they just thought that one penalty was enough for Hamy boy for one race. Funny eh?
As funny as how people are making up excuses like maybe he wasn't shown any blue flags and other things like that. :rotflmao:

Well perhaps the FIA will find those blue flags. Perhaps they're just waiting until Saturday evening to announce they've decided to penalise Hamilton again by putting him to the back of the grid for Sunday's race :rolleyes:

The drivers don't just get blue flags: they get a blue warning light in the cockpit, instances of which are logged.

So if there's an accusation that Hamilton ignored blue flags for two whole laps it'll be easy enough to prove.

As I've said before, if Lewis did ignore blue flags then I won't defend him. What I won't do, however, is take Glock's word for it when nobody else watching the race noticed. That's not a slur on Glock's integrity, I would just like some evidence that this acually happenned.

I'll watch the race again later and see if I can spot these mystical flags, shouldn't be hard to spot if they were waving for two whole laps.

Sadly it's impossible to tell from the TV coverage: all we see is Trulli passing Hamilton, not the lap or two before.

So I still await some evidence that Lewis ignored blue flags.

Please, those who believe the FIA are out to get Hamilton & Mclaren, why no punishment?

Can you tell me what laps they were on?

It's OK Dave, I've just had a butchers and it's horsecrap :D

The only time during the race was laps 19 to 21.

On lap 19, Trulli was still a few seconds behind.

Lap 20, he closed but was still not sufficiently close by any stretch of the imagination. Lap time 120.3

Lap 21 he closes further but not sufficiently to be impeded. 120:1

Lap 22, he finally closes up on Lewis on the 2nd half of the Lap but I can't tell if he overtakes and pits or sits behind and pits.

I also can't tell about any blue flags.

What is obvious is he was only in a potential situation to overtake for a few corners.

Thanks to vision F1

Good research :up:

I notice that yet again it falls to us to do the legwork as once again an accusation is tossed around with no evidence. :uhoh:

It's not a problem.

But you can't say anything unless you have hard facts!!! :eek: Even if it's your opinion you still need to back it up to show that it is infact your own opinion :p :
