Hamilton certainly did do his talking on the track and what he said was loud and clear ‘I can’t take pressure, I can’t drive conservatively, I have not learned from last year and I am going to bollocks it up again’ . He is arrogant and cocky and for what? He has not proved himself as anything other than the most over rated driver in formula 1.

i don’t think any of the incidents deserved punishment. this is racing and sh*t happens, so the stewards keep their noses out before they ruin the sport.

congrats to alonso and kubica well deserved result for both them.

come on .. this is what makes F1 racing. The excitement. The risk. What’s the point of watching cars go round and round of there wasn’t the chance that one of them might be pushed off by a better driver? Leave Lewis alone.

Is it because Lewis Hamilton is Black or have the Stewards got a big bet on Ferrari this year,or maybe Ferrari pay for better blow jobs, you just know every decision that involves Hamilton will be negative and they will go easy on Ferrari.
Bourdais issue was a clever way for them to give Massa another point.

As I watched the start I thought Hamilton wouldget punished but the more I watched replays it made less sense. It appears it more Kovelinien following Hamilton that shoves Kimi off the road, Hamiltons already clear off into the run off. And besides it’s the first corner, the one part of F1 still free of the nanny-state coming into the sport where all the field are trying to overtake and several cars were forced wide, so shouldn’t a large part of the field also been given drive thrus?

Both Hamilton and Massa looked very ragged,overly aggressive and not impressive at all-the pressure is really starting to show(btw well done to a brilliant Alonso showing them how it’s done!).I think Hamilton will win the championship but I don’t think he’s anything special and his attitude sucks(same goes for Massa minus the attitude bit)but i’d absolutely love it if Robert could do a ‘Kimi’ and steal the championship from under their noses-nearly impossible in his inferior car,I know,but here’s hopeing!!!BTW Surely Bourdais is the unluckiest rookie in F1 and I really don’t understand how he was penalised for his scuffle with Massa…oh well,roll on next weekend!!

Agree totally with last comment . A risky move but surely thats what punters want to see . Dropping back to 6th was punishment enough . But Massas move was totally unacceptable and his drive through should have been a Stop Go as he clearly benefited . But yet again the Stewards wear different specs to normal people . Massa getting back a furher point later after taking out another car does make you wonder if they watch the race or are still “out to lunch ” !!

Some immature driving today from both Hamilton and Massa. Alonso showed he’s still the most complete driver out there and Kubica showed his class by skillfully keeping Kimi at bay.

Hamilton has shown he still has alot to learn, maybe third time lucky for the championship.

I don’t really understand the drive through for Hamilton, he made a mistake. Kimi had outbraked himself too otherwise he’d have been able to duck inside and Hamilton ended up behind them and with severly flatspotted tyres anyway. That’s punishment enough IMHO. But I know there are plenty of Hamilton haters out there will say otherwise.
