McLaren has been fined 15,000 euros (£10,445) for its breach of the rules
governing tyre use at Interlagos on Friday – but world championship
hopeful Lewis Hamilton has avoided serious punishment.
Yet again, McLaren escape punishment.......
And everyone reckons Ferrari get it all their own way :|
They may as well just engrave......
Lewis Hamilton - McLaren (Ferrari) Mercedes - 2007
On the trophy now......
Its what they want :|
AND ANOTHER THING :|
I seem to recall Schumy having to take his penalties for his or his teams
fuck-ups, BUT as we all know if they had penalised Lewis and sent him
back 10 places or to the back of the grid he would be in serious trouble
because unlike Schumy, who could fight through the pack, Lewis couldn't
fight his way out of a paper bag unless someone cut a hole in it, and a
true champion has that ability to fight whatever obsticles are put in his
way.

You talk some poo sometimes :roll:
Just been to Wikipedia and was reading aboot Lewis' Gp2 career,
'His notable performances included a dominant win at the Nürburgring, despite serving a penalty for speeding in the pit lane. At his home race at Silverstone, supporting the British Grand Prix, Hamilton impressed by overtaking two rivals at Becketts, a series of high-speed (up to 150 mph in a GP2 car) bends where overtaking is rare. He demonstrated his overtaking prowess again in Istanbul, when he recovered from a spin that left him 18th to take second place in the final corners. He won the title in unusual circumstances, inheriting the final point he needed after Giorgio Pantano was stripped of fastest lap in the Monza feature race.'
And I think you'll find that there have been a few note-wothy overtaking moves made by him this season too, Not least of which was when he stuffed one up the inside of Raikkonen on Ferrari's doorstep at Imola, at the first chicane on lap 43 :|

And yet again it seems Hamilton can do no wrong......... :|
Lewis Hamilton escaped sanction after a controversial end to qualifying
when the Ferrari team felt that the McLaren driver had disturbed Kimi
Raikkonen’s final Q3 flying lap.
Hamilton emerged from the pits following his last tyre change just as
Raikkonen was powering onto the back straight in the midst of his last hot
lap.
The McLaren driver looked as if he might impede Raikkonen’s entry to turn
four, but saw him in time and stayed on the inside, giving Kimi the racing
line into the corner.
The Finn then got a little out of shape in turn four and went on to qualify
behind Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa and Hamilton.
In light of the 10-place grid penalty imposed on Fernando Alonso at Monza
last year for impeding Massa – when the Ferrari driver was never closer
than 93 metres to the Spaniard’s Renault approaching the Parabolica
corner – there seemed every possibility that Hamilton could find himself
sweating on a third stewards’ enquiry within a fortnight.

It's funny how you only copy and paste the 'facts' that suit you though, instead of continuing a bit......

Controversy over Hamilton 'block'

Lewis Hamilton escaped sanction after a controversial end to qualifying when the Ferrari team felt that the McLaren driver had disturbed Kimi Raikkonen’s final Q3 flying lap.

Ferrari brought the matter to the attention of race director Charlie Whiting but, on being told that Hamilton had no case to answer, saw no point in lodging a protest.
Hamilton apologised to Raikkonen after the session but insisted he had done his best to stay out of the way.
“I came out and, obviously, you have to keep to the left of the white [blend] line,” he related.
“The team came on the radio and said that I should be coming out pretty close to Kimi.
“The speed I was doing, with the mirrors vibrating, I couldn’t really see if he was there and at the time I first looked he wasn’t.
“I thought I would stay where I was because he might have been there and we might have crashed, so I just stayed on the inside and waited for him to appear.
“He did, and so I had to brake and bale out otherwise I would have impeded him if I had taken the corner.”
Sounds to me like he did nothing wrong.
And while we are cutting and pasting and spinning stories and so forth,
I just read the Official F1 Website's inter view with FIA president Max Mosley. As Ever, the unbiased one :|
Q: Critics argue that the whole affair was a private vendetta between you and Ron Dennis. How is your relationship with him?
MM: Civilized. We phone once in a while. Personally I have no problems with Ron but otherwise there are differing positions. Just to give an example: Ron would like to finish every race with a one-two victory whereas it is my take that every entrant should have equal opportunities. So those two opinions don’t jar. But what goes for Ron also goes for Jean Todt, Frank Williams or Flavio Briatore.
Q: For Luca di Montezemolo as well?
MM: With di Montezemolo it is different. He is chairman of Fiat and President of Italian business lobby Confindustria. My relationship with him is very personal.
Q: So you are intellectually, socially and personally closer to him than to Ron Dennis?
MM: That is probably correct as I know Luca longer and therefore better than Ron. Indeed I’ve known Ron since 1970, but I became really acquainted with him at the end of the eighties, whereas I have known Luca very well since the beginning of the seventies.
Q: Is Ferrari more important for Formula One than other teams?
MM: Yes.
Not that Max Mosley, Head of the FIA, isn't a Ferrari fan or anything. :|
