Hamilton given 25 second penalty...

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!

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?

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

RE: Hamilton given 25 second penalty...

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...

RE: Hamilton given 25 second penalty...

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.
