I believe you to be right on this matter.

But assuming that none of that happened then I guess it was justified.

Of course!! It was the team's fault, once again, like not telling him to stop at red lights...... :mad:

RD should be given a drive by penalty, and lewis should do another commercial...... after all, danica P is doing photo "spreads", beckham is doing undie ads (and denying claims of photo enlargement of his "gear" with photoshop), so the team better wake up Lewis, get him to strip and get with it now...once again, his own team is letting him down..... :(

I couldn't see exactly where Vettel was from that onboard shot and haven't seen any other angle myself. If Vettel and Hamilton were close enough that contact was an issue, I'd say that Hamilton did the right thing by running wide. If LH did run wide out of choice (to avoid contact) then I would understand why he didn't think of giving the place back.

There are other things happening on track that are affecting the results more than curb-hopping. Like weaving down the straights! A driver gets into the slipstream and the lead car takes a tight turn. According to the rules, he is not allowed to make any movement back online. I've seen the lead car move so far across that u can't get a bicycle thru on the inside, then weave back towards the racing line just on corner entry. In my opinion, those drivers should get a drive thru immediately. That has to be as bad, if not worse, than the LH situation today.

He kept his position because he cut the chicane. If he had stayed on track he woudd have been overtaken by PDLR....
make an effort and try to be objective.

I don´t know how was this the team´s fault

the penalty was correct, no doubt... He passed because he didn´t brake in time so he missed the corner and cut the chicane...

You're basing your point on a supposition, there is no proof to support it.

And then he retired. This penalties are given several laps after the "crime".
