At those conditions it is very difficult to see what is going on behind you, Although Jenson looked at his mirror he couldn't see where exactly Lewis was or the speed he had. Anyway he was just holding his racing line and if you look at Shumi's line, Jenson didn't go as left as Shumi did, or as left as he did in his previous lap. If anyone is to blame this is Ham
I am a huge MAc n Hamilton fan, but in this case he should be more causious trying to pass his teamate, especialy in low visibility conditions. As for him leaving F1, it is just rediculus. He is obviously faster than Jenson in most cases, but he is not calm enough to make wise decisions during the race. I am very disappointed to see him so offen in accidents
As for Jenson, I was very happy when he joined the Macs, and I believe he is a great value for the team![/quote]

Additionally, Hamilton also has a "Crying wolf" stigma at this point. He does questionable stuff so often, it has to make you wonder. Nobody's perfect, but Jenson is an historically responsible driver, so I think we have to give him the benefit of the doubt - especially in these difficult conditions as PartsaS mentioned.[/quote]
PartsaS, acosmichippo I respect your opinions, but personally i think that Lewis was screwed and i am not buying that jenson didn't see him coming, that accident was atleast 75% jenson's fault.
Jenson said in an interview today (or was it yesterday?) that this year he can be a front runner, he said that cause he KNOWS (well actually he is a part of screwing lewis as i wrote on page 39) that Lewis is going to get screwed this season.
A last comment on this matter, i hope that lewis wont leave McLaren and move to Red Bull, it will be a fatal career move, but i won't be surprised if these kind of thoughts are crossing his mind, after all in recent weeks he isn't getting the support he deserves from McLaren, which is a shame, and it's a bigger shame that things that have nothing to do with sports are involved in it.
