The same idiot was penalized for not leaving any room a couple of races ago .


But when I question Lewis on the same count , with Nico being expected to disappear , I'm met not with debate , but rather with condescending remarks .
If I have a "thing" with Hamilton , then I think it fair to say that you do as well .

But your "thing" is different .
Sorry buddy, no attempt on my side to be condescending to you. I like to go with facts. I would take issue with Hamilton if l thought for a second that he was wrong. As l would do with any driver on the F1 grid. I think you should try to support your arguments with some facts and l shall be the first to agree with you.

As far as the Kimi issue goes, there are two points to Kimi's question; one was to do with the maneuver that young Verstapenn pulled on Kimi that forced him off the track. Second, was his [Kimi's] maneuver on Bottas that took out of the race and a 3rd place podium position.

I have not seen the Verstapenn incident, hence l have not commented on it. I did see the Bottas incident and that was an over-ambitous move by Kimi. A rookie type move which he was duly penalized for.

Now there are two scenarios to being forced off track; the action was intentional or it was not intentional. Non-intentional counts for situations where the offending driver had little or no control on the situation that resulted in the other driver being forced off the track. The video evidence that l provided seem to show that Hamilton was making an effort to turn into the corner and as such leave some room.
The other scenario which is what the stewards are ruling against; is where the action is intentional. That's where the driver has full control of the direction of the car but can be seen to take visible action to push the other driver off the track. If the Verstapenn incident fall under this category, l would not know as l have not researched it. But Kimi's action at Mexico on Bottas fall under this category.

I hope this clears things up for you. And l don't have a thing for Hamilton. He is a brilliant racer and triple world champion, that is someone that one cannot help admiring.
