why no penalty for Hamilton?

Sincerely, a drive through is OK for me. A stop and go would have been fine as well, but nothing else. His move was pretty dumb and reckless, but he got a penalty for that, and I think it was a fair one.

Given his prior stunts this season, the penalty should have been far more, such as a stop and go(still a joke), or simply loss of position at the end, say 5 places--perhaps just a black flag and DQ.

It is one thing to have a bump while two drivers are fighting for position in the middle of a corner, but it is totally different to spin out, sit there and re-enter like he did.

Given the prior transgressions, one race ban would be perfectly fair and appropriate.

And this is the first time that I have ever said any driver should suffer a race ban, but this should be enough prior bad acts to warrant the punishment


apology? What a joke!!

I agree that the move was well out of order. But the deserved drive-thru penalty was served and I don't think any further action was appropriate. He went from leading the race to 6th place. That's a fairly harsh lesson learned I think. And, perhaps an apology doesn't mean much to you but, to a lot of people, a sincere statement of 'sorry, my fault', goes a long way. Don't be so abrasive.

I would agree, if this was his first event of the season, but it is NOT. How many penalties and drive throughs as he had this season??

So time to send a big message

Yeah I agree completely here. A penalty was just about deserved. He clearly didn't see DiResta. I felt DiResta didn't actually have to go onto the grass but he did. All the same a penalty was deserved and Hamilton took responsibility and apologised. There was no harm done and he was man enough to hold his hand up and say it was his fault.

This thread is an abismal attempt at wumming. markasilly is totally on his own on this one from what I can tell. At least until vhatever arrives of course. But that has become all too predictable at this stage, hasn't it?

A few pints anyone? :beer:

This thread is an abysmal showing of disrespect to the thread starter .

Calling him names like "Markasilly" and "Markablindy" is against the rules of this forum .
Referencing the KKK is offensive .
Taking about the black tap is also offensive .

You people need to learn some manners .
I'm sick to death of this crap .



I agree with 'Billy here .
Driving into traffic , expecting them to react should be punished with far more than a drive-through .

To be fair though if you're in a dangerous positon on the track and the other drivers can see you (as was the case) then the safest thing is just to stay where you are.
