briggaman Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hamilton was well and truly robbed there. Awful driving from the joke that is Maldonado... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I laughed Good work from Webber to go from 17th to 4th but Alonso was fantastic winning it from 11th on the grid. Was a good race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted June 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2012 Why is that funny as ****? Because you could see it coming all the time and Hamilton's bad luck is getting funny now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2012 Cracking race yesterday. I'm not a huge Hamitlon fan. I support him because he's british, but I think he's a bit of a dick. But he got robbed by Maldonado. If Maldonado had been on the track he could have an argument. But if he's been forced off then he has no right to drive into the side of Lewis like he did. Fair enough lewis' tyres were **** and he'd probably have been overtaken anyway, but he has every right to try and defend while he can. And it makes it all the more mystifying as to why Maldonado ruined his own race too. If he'd waited a few more corners he'd have probably breezed past him. He's gone down in my estimation after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 What on earth has happened to Button, started the season well but now seems to be on a par with Massa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yeah I know about the history. I didn't find it amusing though to be honest (although I probably would have if I wasn't british) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 25, 2012 Author Moderator Share Posted June 25, 2012 On the Maldonado/Hamilton incident. If you look at the point where Pastor hits Lewis, it looks to me like the Williams bottoms out on the kerb i.e. the barge board beaches on it. At first glance I thought the car bottomed out, therefore straight-lining (or tobogganing) him into the side of Hamilton. Completely Maldonado's fault, but I'm not sure it was intentional or that he was entirely in control of the car's direction at that point. Which is a shame because Hamilton was a sitting duck at that point and the car's control resembled that of a shopping trolley at the back. Superb race from Alonso although if Vettel's car hadn't given in, he'd have coasted to the finish. It bodes well for Red Bull going forward. Though a 20pt lead is a very nice lead for Alonso. What a strange season this is. I also thought the marshalls got it completely wrong penalising Perez for the Kobayashi incident. Perez was in front, on the racing line and hitting the apex. Koba tried to go up the inside of an ever-decreasing gap and was still well behind the Sauber when they hit. I have never seen the marshalls blame the person in the lead in that situation. Normally I can see how they justify a penalty even if I don't agree with it. But this time I couldn't. It flew in the face of every punishment I've ever seen. Koba then went on and smashed into the side of Massa further down the road. A race full of incident, which was completely unexpected. Everyone assumed Valencia would be dull dull dull.

Stevo985 Posted June 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2012 My mates and I half-joked about turning the race off on the first lap. As soon as Vettell was in first and the initial first lap carnage had calmed down we were saying "Well Vettell's won then, we may as well turn off" Quite glad we didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Spa delivers another first corner crash again - madness! Catch the replay if you've missed it. Button out ahead , Schumacher on the charge. Hamilton, Alonso, Grosjean, Perez, Maldonado OUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Was a fantastic crash to watch. Was it Grosjean who caught Hamilton's wheel that started it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 yeah, then after that nothing anyone could do. Unlucky for Alonso and Perez really, race was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Is there anyway he can be punished for that? Being out of the race already so obliviously can't get a drive through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 if they look at it, and if they decide to punish him they could give him a 5/10 grid place penalty at the next race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 oh actually they've just given grosjean a one race ban. sounds pretty strict, but it was one heck of an accident and the reasoning included the danger and elimination of championship contenders.Whilst fair, does that mean it wouldn't have been a suspension if it had been back end plodders?!
