Do you mean banning a driver for a year for missing a­ chicane is good F1 comment? You know less than jbolan­ about F1 and I didn't think that was possible.

Borrowing heavily from Monty Python, I would like to­ point out that:

This story is dead, it has passed on,­ it is no more, it has ceased to be, it has expired and­ gone to meet its maker. It is stiff, bereft of life, it­ rests in peace. It has kicked the bucket, shuffled off­ this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the­ choir invisible!!
THIS IS AN EX STORY!
PLEASE, let’s­ move on…

Just to put you right, rbrtmurphy, Hamilton was NOT­ pushed offline at the chicane. The car being overtaken­ has the right to keep to the driving line as long as­ the overtaking car is not well in front. You could see­ that Hamilton was NOT well in front and therefore­ should have lifted off and tried again later. The­ whole incident was brought about because of­ Hamilton's inexperience and arrogance and McLaren­ tried to justify when all along they knew he was at­ fault. Why would they ask Charlie Whiting for an­ opinion if they thought it was OK? Because they could­ put him on the spot and, if he said 'It LOOKED­ ok', they could use it as an excuse. Who was­ caught cheating last year?

next years uk f1 race needs to have lots of "GO­ HOME FERRARI YOUR NOT WELCOME" banners in the­ stands, that will tell them how the fans in the uk feel­ about them. did kimi get greif for going around the­ outside of the track on a corner? did this allow him to­ build up speed? he was clearly out classed and unable­ to controle his car in the wet and deserved to hit the­ wall.
f1 is now just a joke and the fia are to blame,

gd hire to shaun,good comment about F1 that mate.Yes I­ do know my elbow from my arse unlike you whos got his­ head right up his own arse.Talk F1 and fact please...

COMMON MCLAREN

I'm a Ferrari fan, but the only way is to put the­ sand within the chicanes once again (as it was some­ years ago). In this way, none of the pilot could easily­ make what's happened.
Do you remember Lewis last­ year with the flat tire in the sand loosing his­ title?He did the risk, and he payed for himself.
The­ right thing to do for me, is not to punish the hazard­ of a pilot, but simply make the way that they can't­ do that!
Lewis deserved to win the Belgian GP or at­ least they should have gave him the pass-through during­ the race as well.
Punishing him after that race, is­ somekind of a "farce" that damage­ Ferrari's reputation as well.

why does this site have so many petty & abusive­ kids boring comments

when is the racing

OK, can someone please clarify this for me. Mclaren­ were denied an appeal on grounds that their evidence­ was see as inadmissable. Ok i get that bit.
But i'm­ having difficulty understanding why McLaren have to pay­ for the appeals fees. Now they were denied an appeal,­ so what is there to pay for.

I think that alot of people who are looking at this­ appeal are forgetting the fact that Lewis Hamilton was­ if you like pushed off line at the cicain and had the­ instinct in him to cut it in an effort to avoid a­ collision, surely a colision would have been more­ problematic to both teams, ok it put him in front of­ Kimi but he did as he was supposed to and handed the­ position back, then made his move to overtake again.­ The fact that the Ferrari's cant acctually out­ perform the Mclaren in the wet seems to have been­ overlooked...... Give Lewis his due he drove the race­ magnificently and should have kept that first place.

How many of us knew about or were clear about this­ "rule" before the incident at Spa?How many­ rules have the FIA got in place that are vague and­ "bendable" into a shape that suits them?That­ to me is the real point.Would it be acceptable in the­ Premier League if the fans were not clearly aware of­ the offside rule?
Also how dare they maintain that a­ referee's decision is not subject to appeal?It is­ in every other sport,and it should be in­ Motorsport.Life is at times unfair.We all know that,and­ that is why there are effective appeals procedures in­ the first place.The FIA is looking even worse than it­ did after Spa.They allow a hearing and then say,after­ the hearing,that the subject of that hearing was not­ "susceptible" to a hearing.If this is not an­ abuse of human rights and dignity in itself,isn't­ it laughable?Max Mosely went to court to defend his­ human rights and dignity didn't he?

This just shows me what a really great driver lewis is­ , Not only fighting his fellow competitors on the track­ but also having to fight those idiots who say they have­ the best intrests of the sport at heart. lol

gd,hire and shaun, you don't know your ars#s from­ your elbows. Stop talking cr#p.

767 , I am Cash's friend please forgive him for­ his comments , he is aplologizing for his comments. He­ didn't want to make racist coments ,he is not a­ racist . He will not write such comments again ,­ please forgive him !!!!!

Mclaren are the cheats.Before they stole the 600 page­ design dossier on ferarri they were 2&3 quarters of­ a second a lap behind.Any one that knows anything about­ F1 knows full well you dont gain that much from 1­ season to the next.Also every single F1 driver that­ dont drive for mclaren agreed with the FIA's­ decision that Hamilton had taken an advantage. I­ suppose they are all Ferarri fans as well.Look at the­ evidence on TV,Hamilton allowed Raikonen to regain his­ position by putting himself into Raikonen's slip­ stream.This would not have happened if he had gone­ around the chicane like Raikonen did! So please stop­ being brain washed by ITV sport or should they call it­ the Lewis Hamilton bum licking show! Its time to get ­ honest ,F1 loving,none bias commentators back [come­ back murray whalker all is forgiven]we might get to­ hear about other F1 drivers and teams .

thanks gd hire at last somebody is talking sense­ mcclaran are just cheats & should have got a 1 year­ ban
