I dont know why you guys are so worked up over this. Isnt it well-known that FIA is ferrari's guardian angel? I stopped watching F1 since last year because of all the FIArari-favoring fiasco, but came to know about this incident when I heard it on the radio in monday morning.

I've viewed some replays on youtube, and I can say that the "Lewis-gained-more-momentum-by-cutting-chicane" is total BS. Yeah, he did gain on Kimi coming out the chicane, but he LIFTED. Even the speedtrap at the S/F line shows Hamilton is 6-7kmh slower. If there's any advantages gained earlier, its already been nullified the moment he lifted. Is FIA trying to tell me that by being 6kmh slower, Hamilton's car still has more momentum when both cars are of the same weight?

If race stewards give the driver who cutting chicane chance then the rest of drivers will follow suit. It is a metter of rules & principles. Hammy thought he was smart but the stewards out smart him.

Do you think if Hammy lifted and braked at the chicane, he could be that close behind Kimi at start-finish line?

Yes, I think they would be damn close. Very close indeed. Had hamilton not cut the chicane and keep stepping on the brakes instead, his tyres would lock, he would not be able to steer in time and crashed into kimi. Now thats "close".

Obviously nobody ACTUALLY know what will be the case if Hamilton brake instead of cutting the chicane. All your comments are only your prediction or some even biased towards whether you support Ferrari or Hamliton.

Remember it's easier to say than actually doing something.  tongue.gif

Come on la kawan. If the condition of the track is dry, I'd agree with you. But the track is WET. WET=bad traction=tyres easily locking up. Is it that hard to "predict" what will happen next if that happens?

Anyway, if he brakes hard and hit the red car, I think everyone knows that there's gonna be some fiasco again simply because in F1 (Ferrari 1), its always about the red car. The red car can do whatever stunts they want and get away with it smile.gif So yeah, avoiding the red car instead of hitting it is a smart choice
