well the voice of something

I hope Hamilton isn't penalised purely for a lack of superhuman reflexes in a lollipop man..

It was a pretty close call, would be harsh i think to penalise for a fraction of a second pit release difference. Its not like Vettel was already in the lane when Hamilton was released.

but if he does get done for it he will get a 5 or 10 grid place penalty for the next round.

Exactly, I think a 25 second penalty would be over the top.

well thats what Brundle said was the only option left for the stewards for such a thing.

Jordan on BBC said the release was a fraction of a difference between them, its just a racing incident and no penalty should be awarded.

However Alsono jumped the start on the 2 Red Bulls, the replay showed Charlie Whiting picking up on it, so thats where there should be a penalty issued.

Didn't he get a drive through?

Alonso got the drive-through penalty, didn't he?

Otherwise I can't see why lewis should be penalised. Webber took him out in Australia and no penalty was given, why should we give one to Lewis when he didn't gain anything and the cars barley touched one another. If this is going to be a penalty, I am taking certain points of view about FIA's relationship to Red Bull

The rules were changed for this year so because the incident was more than 3 laps before the end of the race you can't implement the 25 second penalty. The 25 second penalty is supposed to be a substitute for a drive through when the incident happens to close to the end of the race.

Ahh that makes sense then... seems like a grid drop won't affect the McLarens too much though.

"In order to avoid the likelihood of accidents before the safety car returns to the pits, from the point at which the lights on the car are turned out drivers must proceed at a pace which involves no erratic acceleration or braking nor any other manoeuvre which is likely to endanger other drivers or impede the restart."

I think that's what Brundle said... wonder how much will be spoken of this.

I love how Hamilton got Webber back for Melbourne - bit cheeky...

Better start to this season, much closer than Brawns runaway last year.

The question still remains why was a penalty not given to Hammy immediately? If a 25sec penalty is given for the next race an accident or SC will negate said time penalty so whats the point of even giving him one now .

Perhaps Whiting aswell as Todt are recieving a per diem from Whitmarsh?
