His lead went from 7.x seconds to 5.x seconds even before the SC made it's appearance, both Kimi and Robert were closing on on him at a fast rate. So his win was not that probable.

For me that isn't an apology is the proof of lack of brain as it was obvious that he DID cost Kimi the race!

So it was not probable that Hamilton would win, but it was obvious that Raikkonen would :confused:

Costing someone the race is about destroying his chance to win or destroying his chances to race at all?! :confused:

What you have to remember is that ioan is mature enough to change his mind depending on evidence. The fact that this opinion can change within a couple of sentences is commendable and has nothing to do with any preconceived bias or favouritism :p :

I am pretty sure its more related to semantics of the language Knockie...
Costing a race = generally someone who is winning is not able to...like Arrows said but ioan interpreted as ruining his race not necessarily costing his win. :)

It is clear that LH brings out a visceral reaction from many around here who simply have a straightforward bias to a young proud black driver achieving his life's dream in the pinnacle of racing.

The good old race card. When you have nothing else, always use that.
The moment someone uses that, it says all I need to know about that individual.


I admit I discriminate against a certain group of people at times. Yep, I admit it. I discriminate. I just can`t get over the dislike I have for stupid people. :rotflmao:

Semantics such as the use of the word "if" which seems to be causing so much consternation today :p ;)
