No. If LH had stayed behind KR instead of cutting and running, he would have had the usual concertina effect to deal with coming out of that slow turn - where the time gap stays the same, but as speed increases the distance gap increases. The cut and run put him way closer to the ferrari up the straight than he would otherwise have been, and that advantage in proximity enabled, or certainly assisted, him to make the pass immediately afterwards at the end of the straight.

Have you taken into account KR was on the brakes 50 metres earlier into the corner? LH on both the chicane and turn 1, was able to make up HUGE ground on the anchors.

You can actually see the exact marker he used as LH brakes into the Bus Stop and then before La source in the video. Im dead sure it was the 150metre mark which is pretty damned scary coming down from top gear and on a damp surface. KR was on the brakes, coasting into the chicane way earlier.

That much is so easy to see in the vid and its wicked to see it so vividly from their perspective.

For me the overtake was about what Hamilton did under brakes not what happened on the straight, ie about the grip available to the car not its terminal speed. In any case the terminal speed of the McLaren would have been down on that of the Ferrari.

Farkin A man, me too.

Kimi took a couple of different lines on the approach to the corner which may well have raised a few eyebrows in diferent circumstances.

How many times can you move over to defend your line? Once wasnt it? KR was all over the shop, lol

The more important point was it was good racing. The kind of thing that should be encouraged. I don't really need to see more boring, processional F1 races, nor the FIA interfering with the championship again. Nor I suspect does anyone else.

Amen to that.

For me the subjectivity of this argument is massively eclipsed by the fact we were all pissing in our pants in anticipation of one of the craziest finishes we have witness in years.

Here is hoping Kimi can get it together & put up a good fight to repeat his championship.

Ah, he will...the old dog.

money is on Mclaren just accepting this penalty for the good of the sport again, and moving on

Yeah man i got that feeling too from what i just read.

They are good at turning the other cheek youve got to say...

Better to take it on the chin and move on than kick up a stink and drag it on further when it all may end up fruitless and achieving nothing more than an increase of instability within the team...

It's pretty obvious to the majority really. It seems only the louise fanboys can't see it. Try telling me lewis would have been right next to kimi at the start line if he had not of cut the chicane - He gained advantage, doesn't matter if he gave the place back, he would not have been there if he had not cut it. Theres is your advantage.

Here's to hoping webber doesn't get taken out again next race!

You know what, i have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that LH would have taken KR at La Source under brakes easily if what you say had transpired.

Unfortunately all of us were robbed of a fair result that day.

how come no one seems to care about the fact that Kimi n00bed the car in to the wall good and proper all on his own a few corners later?

all this talk of where Hamilton was/would have been is, to me, irrelevant- coz Kimi no doubt would have still crashed trying to feel for grip as he did, and handed the lead to Lewis anyway.

Maybe he would have, but due to the fact that Lewis was too impatient, and gained an advantage by cutting the chicane, we'll never know :P

So what? What does that have to do with giving LH the penalty?

Nothing.

Perhaps if LH was more level headed and patient/sensible, he would have waited for what you seem to think was the inevitable, and coasted passed a stranded Ferrari.

with the associated grid demotions in malaysia, france and numerous drive through penalities and now this, 15 is a conservative estimated total of points lost to dubious calls or overly harsh penalties

which would put them in the lead by 3 points >:|

So what's the final ruling re: Hamo and McLaren after all this?

God I pray that both Ferraris blow-up spectacularly at Monza; That would make my year.

That kinda did happen///although one after the other...

First Massa then Raikkonnen...or...was it the other way around.

LOL @ Ferrari press release " This engine failure will not happen again."

One race later - KABOOM!

Perhaps if LH was more level headed and patient/sensible...

or one could argue that the fact he was giving Kimi some major curry rattled him, and caused him to make the ensuing unforced error =P

but anywho, i offer a truce! in the spirit of fairness (still with us FIA?... FIA??... oh nvm) i suggest Massa is given a retrograde 25 second penalty for the pit-lane incident in the European GP, and the championship points standing adjusted accordingly...y'know, to be consistent and all.

Of course i cared, its just that in reality and in the light this pile of bullshit surfaced under, KR crashed after LH "ripped of the racing world", commiting the most diabolical of racing sins - the chicane cut.

Banned for life, burn him at the stake...blah blah blergh,,...pfft...meh...

Over it.

Cmon Monza.

You can make whatever argument you want.

Hamilton still gained an advantage and was penalised as a result :P

    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
    • Good work. I will say, this line circled however, will potentially pool with oil, as it's going from high, to low, to high, before heading downwards.
    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
