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. :(

Yes, they should both have been paying more attention to the lights of the cars and the exit infront of them and for all the ifs and buts, that is all that can be said about the incident.

The teams should be able to let their drivers leave the pits and not watch them driving down a pit-limiter stretch of tarmac considering the level of driving ability they are supposed to be at. Lewis made no attempt to not hit Kimi- he admitted in the interview that he saw the light and didnt break.

Grow up and admit ur mistakes is all that can be said for the aftermath.

All in all, pathetic and a true show of F1 sportsmanship, Kimi deserves a medal for not belting Ham, esp for his comments afterwards.

Nothing to do with hitting Kimi because he was no longer in front, obviously.

Wasn't Hamilton leading the race before pitting?

Hamilton, what an arrogant little boy...

Yes, but Kimi and Kubica had overtaken him in the pits, so he was at the point of impact, running third.

I've no sympathy for him getting a ten place grid penalty.
I don't however have a problem with him not saying "yeah, I'm an idiot I screwed up" as it was obvious that it was going to go before the stewards and you never admit anything before they've given their verdict.
Now they have, I expect him to grovel and admit he ****'ed it up.

Think it's a tad unfair to give Nico the same punishment mind, I'd have said 7spots was more appropriate

You can't really differentiate between Nico and Hamilton here. They both hit someone on the pit lane.

Fair and just punishment, charlie is setting good precedents everywhere.

Hamilton and Rosberg really screwed up. Rosberg's accident at the end of the pitlane reminded me a bit of Belgium '98 when Rosset drove into the back of the crash because everybody else seemed to be doing it. I mean there is a speed limit there, they can't have been going that fast.
Bourdais was awful today though. Even though he didn't crash (I think) he was the only driver to not finish on the lead lap, and he'd been miles behind Vettel all weekend despite Vettel not being allowed to qualify. So I'd probably have to give it to him, especially if the red light wasn't visible.
