pimpcat 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Well after an amazing race this week to give us something to recover the hours of r life that we lost 2 weeks ago to a dull race and cheating by the team in red it seems once again the possibility of letting lewis or even Mclaren win something this year is to much for the FIA. Does any now not believe that the FIA r not biased towards handing everything to the cheating Ities.what do people think am i just bein stupid or for once do i have something to talk about ?if u do feel this way please take part in the poll nd maybe join the face book against Ferrari Biased by the FIA Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 i watched it, was it because of the overtake or teh corner he cut slightly before? i thought it was quite exciting and only contact was really kimi bashin lewis...massa was way behind to give him full first is aload of nonsense imo, really cuts the gap between him an hamilton too...

thegoth 5 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 totally agree with you Pat. Even Niki Lauder does.I think you've worded the poll wrong though! the answers equate to "did the fia get it right?" and shouldn't it be 'shouldn't matter' in the first answer?

craggsy 91 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Shocking what FIA have done, as hamilton let Raikonon by and he over took him again before next corner.FIA just dont like Ron dennis!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I thought the decision was by the Belgian stewards rather than the FIA?Either way I think the best race I've seen for ages has been ruined by this decision... Hamilton deserved the win, did he gain momentum by cutting the corner? Maybe but he let Kimi past and then outbraked him into the corner. He was only in the position to challenge him in the first place because he was driving better. Massa didn't deserve second let alone first! Link to post Share on other sites

pimpcat 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 i dont c how they did get it right tho as he was forced off the track then slowed down its racing at the end of the day and they both did a good job not hitting rosberg in which kimi had the advantage after lewis went across the grassyea ur rite nige it shud have been should it matter as kimi parked it in the wall Link to post Share on other sites

ingham 5 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 lewis should have waited till one corner after , to show lack of gain imo, he would have still won. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 It does seem to have invited alot of interest in F1 and has closed the gap, now every race will be 'the big one'No that bothered though as it is sooooo boring to watch I find, apart from MonacoId rather watch the local foot-draggers do banger racing, they always fire a sierra wheel off towards the crowd hahaha Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 well it is a conspiracy..I did think at the time perhaps he should have waited a corner but as he showed he let Kimi back passed I think they got it wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I thought all he had to do was concede the place back which he did and then he was free to race again - he was so faster than Kimi it would not have made any difference.F1 is slowing turning itself into a total joke - much rather watch motoGP anyday !!

Mackenzie 6 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Ferrari are the FIA's little baby !Half of the FIA panel have ties with ferrari !!What a total joke!!!Looks like lewis is gonna have to do it the hard way. Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Martin Whitmarsh added: "From the pit wall, we then asked Race Control to confirm that they were comfortable that Lewis had allowed Kimi to repass, and they confirmed twice that they believed that the position had been given back in a manner that was 'okay'."If Race Control had instead expressed any concern regarding Lewis’s actions at that time, we would have instructed Lewis to allow Kimi to repass for a second time."Sounds like someone had a change of heart *-) maybe because there wasn't a red car in sight at the finish!

bulldog 2 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 This is karma, Lewis is big headed and thinks F1 is about him only, so karma put him straight, fair or not he got what he deserved.Rant over Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 This is karma' date=' Lewis is big headed and thinks F1 is about him only, so karma put him straight, fair or not he got what he deserved.Rant over[/quote']I think he's every right to be big headed. He arrived in F1 last season and made a lot of other teams and drivers take a long hard look at themselves. Yes he is in a very fast and reliable car but he earned that seat and would not be there if he wasn't up to the job. Looking back at the Senna, Prost, and most recently Schumacher, they were all confident and often described as arrogant and big headed as they made a name for themselves but look at what they achieved. That level of confidence and self belief is necessary to excel in F1. In life in general to a certain extent. Hamilton has that in abundance and given time he will be World Champion. In my opinion of course As for the foolishnes that happened after the race in Spa, the decision was just that. FoolishnessKevin Link to post Share on other sites

thegoth 5 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Ferrari lodged three objections to the appeal, above and beyond the FIA regulations. Most of which are just petty and one laughable."Ferrari raised the question of whether or not the appeal submitted against thecontested decision had been notified within the time limits stipulated in theRules of the Court. McLaren claim that the appeal was indeed submitted withinthe given time limit.""The competitor Ferrari, having claimed that only Lewis Hamilton was penalisedby the Stewards’ decision, and having observed that the driver concerned hadnot appealed, deduced that McLaren could not appeal. However, it must benoted that, with regard to this decision, the Stewards did indeed record a breachof the rules committed by “the competitor named below’, which referredexpressly to the “competitor Vodafone McLaren Mercedesâ€.""Concerning the substance of the case, Ferrari considers that the Stewards’decision was justified, and claims that Mr Hamilton would not have been able toovertake Mr Räikkönen if he had not gained an advantage from the disputedmanoeuvre undertaken at the chicane."
