Read moreAlonso was three feet behind Hamilton when the safety car pulled out. He obeyed the rules, Hamilton did not.....Alonso ended up 9th and Hamilton ended up 2nd. Alonso has a pretty good reason to be pissed and I suspect it's more about the championship points than it is about a feud several years old like the McLaren lambs are attempting to make it out as.
Alonso should have just followed Hamilton past the safety car. Knowing full well that a European GP steward room is not going to hammer Hamilton or McLaren.
Would they have handed down a harsher penalty to Alonso if Alonso had been in Hamilton's place? I seriously doubt it. I'd have expected a drive-through penalty at best, had we been talking about an illegal move by Alonso instead of Hamilton. If it had cost Hamilton a few positions nobody would be crying about it, but because Hamilton had a sufficient gap to do a drive-through without losing any positions the penalty suddenly wasn't enough. If the circumstances were slightly different such that Hamilton had a forty-second gap over the next car and a stop-and-go penalty was handed to him, and he was able to make his penalty stop and still retain his position people would probably still be crying that it wasn't enough.
I don't get the Fox news channel.
Lucky you!
But they're fair and balanced!
I'm sorry, but I can't say that with a straight face. I really don't see how there's still people that honestly believe that a network that fills their schedule exclusively with conservative hosts that are obviously Republican and anti-Democrat can even be in the ballpark of "fair and balanced". They don't even attempt to hide their bias, but they proclaim that they're "fair and balanced" as if they're serious about it.
