Lewis--
But not so much as the crash, but his comments afterwards:" I apologise to Kimi if I cost him the race, but these sort of things happen."
As for the award for quick thinking under pressure, Hamliton had a choice and it is interesting that he choose kimi over kube at the last second to go bonk......
But now it looks as though nico for his comments, may be in a dead heat with Lewis--Can't talk cause press people told me not to......
:confused:Quote:

Lewis - Made himself look a right tit with that incident in all honesty. And the "Sorry IF I ruined Kimi's race"... :rolleyes:
Can't really think of anyone else to nominate really.
He only wouldn't talk about "the incident", fair enough as he was on his way to the stewards... otherwise he was his usual chatty self :)Quote:

Bourdais really angered me when he pitted.
There was a cock-up with the fuel rig and he threw a hissy fit.
Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg tied for their inability to see a red light.
Given the notoriety of the Canadian Grand Prix pit lane light it has to be Lewis and Nico.
Maybe the organisers should introduce a level-crossing style barrier...
I watched footage from an onboard camera as I think Barrichelo was exiting the pits, you can only see the red light like 20 yards from the pit exit. So if you are leaving the pits and approach the pit exit it is literally close to the last moement that you get to see the pit exit lights.
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. :(
Lewis, Lewis and three times Lewis.
Shouldn't there be a sight test for all F1 drivers? Followed closely by one for common sense and a mandatory course on 'owning up to your mistakes and taking it like a man'.
Idiot.
Hamilton!
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.Quote:

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.

Answer me this numbnuts..... how did you hit a car from behind if you were in front?Quote:
"I would rather neither of us were out, we were so quick, I was in front. Next time."
Nothing to do with hitting Kimi because he was no longer in front, obviously.Quote:

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

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.
Hamilton wins the price. I think he is the donkey of the season so far.
Lewy, Lewy, Lewy! :laugh:
it is amazing how some on this forum cannot see the bias in their own comments. I think a good number of you out there feel so because LH is black plain and simple.
I think LH's 10 place penalty is stiff but I don't object to it. But the vitriol here has once again hit legendary status.
I was outraged after Kimmi ran into the back of Sutil. ( he lost it and rammed into the back of another car running in 4th position) I was expecting a penalty from the FIA but none came. I could live with it.
But I didn;t read comments from other on this forum referencing Kimmi's eyesight, calling him numbnuts, deriding him for his somewhat cold comments about the incident. calling him an idiot. claiming he cant drive, claiming him to be arrogant. dissecting and intonate about his comments ( which IMO seemed perfectly reasonable given the situation), and I can go on and on.
DC chews out a fellow driver, and many here see it as great and spirited. Hamilton begrudges his own situation, laments about what could be, state he apologized to Kimi, and folks on here still want their pound of flesh.
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.
Many of you who only come on this forum to deride hamilton and are not seen before or after. Often staying silent or contributing nothing when LH wins or takes the pole by 6/10 of a second. Only crawling out of the dark corners to jump on an opportunity to pile on.
So I read these comments with one eye closed, as I fully expect a good number of you to crawl back, once this latest thread dies down and contribute nothing else to the forum until the next Hamilton mishap.
As a famous philosopher once said: " To be admired by legions is to be loathed by many"
cheers
How dare you accuse people of being racist with no evidence. How dare you!Quote:

Yep, Hamilton was donkey of the race, no doubt.
But some of the comments posted here are a joke, there are a number of members here that are causing me to seriously consider no longer reading this forum.
I'm not sure a lot of these people are against Hamilton because he's black.
This is probably more of a fallout with the British press making him seem invincible. Then, when he fails, everyone wants to get their kick in while he's down.
I don't think you should have steered the thread in that direction Mr. 72!
Just felt that your comments over Hamilton's color were unwarranted.
Haha. I see that top drivers really have had some hard time recently. They have won the majority of the donkey-awards this season. :p : Hamilton looks extremely talented, but his inexperience still shows at times. Before the SC he was having a great race and was pulling away from everyone. Montreal really was a strong circuit for McLaren and I doubt, how will they fare against Ferraris on the next circuits, so it was a really crucial points-loss in the championship for him.
Now i get it why his dad is following him everywhere, he needs someone to tell him when the light is red. Maybe McLaren should start running the car with passenger seat.
Do you know, of everything i have ever read on this forum, this post is by far the most disgusting thing i have come across. As someone who sat here and berated the Spanish fans for their equally disgusting display at testing i cannot believe that the fact i do not like Hamilton and havnt, for the record, since he first opened his mouth after Monaco and had a hissy fit means that i am a rascist. I am not going to sit here and talk about all my mates who are black or any of the other crap people will come out with to tell u u are wrong all i will say is that the fact that you sitting there and branding all people who do not think the sun shines out of Lewis Hamiltons arse as rascists makes u no better then the incredibly small minority who feel like that.Quote:

Not black, just an idiot and as you have just proven, they come in all shades.
And some of us only speak up when we have got something to say, not run our mouths in an attempt to get attention, thankyou.
No I think it is his mouth. he is always running off at the mouth, like yesterdays comments about his winning the pole. It just rubbs some the wrong way.Quote:

Might be true about his skills, but when anyone talks like that about themselves, they just ask for a negative response. Better to let someone form the team say it, while he remains all humble and happy
And speaking of same, from that same set of comments comes this:
"For me, more of a concern is the safety cars that there probably will be tomorrow, and not getting caught out like some of the drivers were last year. I know Fernando was caught out, and in the last few years Juan Pablo Montoya came out of the pits with the red light, and also Felipe (Massa) last year."
So the stoppage of cars should have been NO surprize to Mr. Hamilton, but rather than to come right out and say, "gee i can not believe this happened, etc" it is: "IF I cost Kimi the race" and so on.
