Hamilton given 25 second penalty...

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Complete crock of ****. He went off the course, passed Kimi and immiediately gave him the lead back. Where the **** they found 25 seconds from is beyond me. Oh wait, yes I do, that's the magic number that would give their lovechild, Ferrari, a position on top of the podium and cut down Hamilton's lead dramatically. Complete crap!

WTF!??!?! Did I miss something.....Hamilton won.....didn't he? I saw the whole race.

[the blue potato]

HOLY CRAP!!! This is an outrage!

No kidding... That sucks!

[Doppelgänger]

Yeah, that's crap for sure.

Complete bull****, could you imagine them giving Massa or Kimi a penalty like that??

Nice to know that bush-league bull**** is not confined to Nazcar. Formula One is turning out to be the worlds's most expensive Ferrari commercial.

It's refreshing to see people agreeing with me, most of the people I talk to are all Ferrari fanboys... mitch

Anyone suspect this being some kinda of reprocussion from what happened last year's McLaren-Mercedes/Ferrari fiasco?

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Could well be, but it's not the first time the FIA have been unjust.

[FlameProofCandle]

hamilton did not deserve a 25 second penalty however he never really let kimi have the position back. i've seen the video about 10 times now. the reason i think they gave him the penalty was because hamilton rode beside him near the whole straight away. all circuit motorsports have a similar rule and it also involves giving up the illegally gained position immediately.

all this said, i am a ferrari f1 fan boy, but i hate kimi and hamilton equally nowadays. kimi is a lazy **** and hamiltion looks like xerxes from 300.

Yes, you are spot on - it was the anniversary as well....also, Ferrari must have a nice stable of Italian hookers for the FIA to use at their disposal. I am still pissed off over this.

I've given F1 a try on several occasions and just can't seem to catch the bug for it.

He was docked 25 seconds and he still finished 3rd? I need the racing to be closer than that to keep me entertained.

F1 does have some of the prettiest girlz, though...

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

You're missing the big point though BFH, the reason he was docked points was after it started raining during the race and he managed to catch up from a 5 second deficit and take pole before the guy he was battling crashed into a wall.

OK, so i just watched the entire race (missed it on Sunday). I'm surprised no one has said anything about how Kimi hit (purposefully rear-ended) Hamilton on the next right turn after Hamilton passed Kimi. And i do agree that Kimi pushed Hamilton into cutting the corner of 12.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Maybe I missed it, but have results been posted from the "investigation"?

[Doppelgänger]

negative Captain.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Geez they're slow then!!!

[Doppelgänger]

Who knows when it'll be done, but i hope something changes.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I hope so too but I highly doubt it. Things in the competition world of motorsports or sports never seem to work out the way I would like them to when I support one of the parties :lol:

Just look at Newcastle United, possibly the saddest example of a football team in the world at the moment.

I've never even head of them :lol:

In the mid to late 90's we were one of the biggest teams in the world. World-record signing of Alan Shearer, we would beat Man Utd 5-0, beat Barcalona... we could do it all apart from win something. We came so close, the board lied to the manager, the manager walked. And ever since it's been ****. But last christmas we got bought by a billionaire, he reinstated the manager who brought us from obscurity, things were looking good. We had a good start to the season, until the new board ****ed him over, and he walked again. Now we're up ****s creek without a paddle.

And that's glossing over the gang rape scandals, the drugs, the car wrecks, the fighting, the prison time and all that wholesome stuff.

We are a wreck.... :cry:
