[...] does something technically illegal it merits a mention. As one of Hamilton’s defenders, Tom, said in the comments on another post on this blog, this rule is really a grey area — particularly if the car in front is effectively [...]

i think its obvous what hamilton was doing and concurs with his comments later – he was aware of the cars behind him and got out their way before he got his ride smashed up in the appaling condidtions

doctorvee – what an interesting and well written/researched site.
Shame about the uneccessary language though!

either the safety car slowed more than Lewis was expecting, and/or Lewis went wide to avoid hitting the safety car

I don’t buy this at all. If Hamilton simply wanted to avoid hitting the safety car he could have slowed down a lot less. Hamilton dropped anchor. I’ve never seen any other drivers do this behind the SC. If Hamilton is as good as his fans say he is, he would be able to manage this situation a lot more gracefully, with none of this stop-starting and darting around on the circuit.

It seems people just cant come to grip that this new guy Hamilton is changing F1 and taking it to another level cause i believe F1 fans expected the battle for the title to be between Alonso and Raikonnen now they are trying to find ways to discredit him.Personally i hope he wins the title and continue where he left off.

Doctorvee – in your reply no. 18 you said you had not seen before the explanation regarding use of cranes as given by Tom. It was actually covered at the time of the incident in Ed Gorman’s blog in The Times.

People have also mentiones the maximum 5-cr-lengths rule in the debate above. I think Lewis Hamilton had difficulty in keeping to the rule in such atrocious wet conditions. I wonder whether the FIA had ever considered the rule in the context of such amount of water and spray on the track. As it is, I think on this particular corner either the safety car slowed more than Lewis was expecting, and/or Lewis went wide to avoid hitting the safety car, and at the same time he had realised that if he simply braked behind the safety car then Webber was running too close and would have rammed in to Lewis. All in all, I think Lewis behaved quite correctly and it was Webber and Vettel who got caught out. In fact, you can see Webber is going so fast that he is less than 5 cars away and in danger of catching the safety car after Lewis runs wide.

eima is clearly another Alonso fanboy who cannot take the fact that Lewis has beaten Alonso hands down this season with equal equipment. Neither Alonso nor his fans can accept this simple truth.

Put him in a Spyker or Super Aguri and I doubt he will have such good results…

Id find it hard to argue against that. Any driver, aside from those in Spyker or Super Aguri will do worse in either of those teams than their current team.
So your point being?

I hope Alonso leaves Mclaren cos they just want a British driver to win the driver’s championship!!! Mclaren’s tactics are so low in order to hand Lewis the championship. Lewis is good only because he’s in a good car (thanks to Alonso, we know Lewis suck at set-up even after being so long in the racing industry). Put him in a Spyker or Super Aguri and I doubt he will have such good results… I must say Lewis is very good at playing games on and off track as we have seen these past few weeks. Many have been fooled by his tactics.
