It's very difficult to make proper decisions without onboard footage.

However, I'm certain Maldonado is completely at fault. We'll see if that 5-place penalty tames him when it comes to outbursts of emotion when being overtaken in the future. :rolleyes:

...I'm certain Maldonado is completely at fault....

I quite agree. I'm also quite certain Lewis's mum was visited in the delivery room by shepherds and three wise men, because his fans always hold him sinless.

It wasnt a rumour it was the truth (it was also posted on the bbc sports website as it is linked to twitter so i saw it on both sites... :yawn:

And in the final corner lewis was ahead wasnt he?! and you use the word barge it was a tap :hehe: and i believe that jink was him just him driving around the track minding his own business

Funny how we all view things differently :P


Your info off Twitter had no explanation therefore, rumour which turned out to be fact. :wink: It's good fun being pedantic.

Barge/tap whatever you call it, he shouldn't have done it. Both were on fast laps and wrong place at the wrong time. The jink was unnecessary and I guess this is what he has been reprimanded for after probably giving an unsatisfactory explanation. Likely the full facts of what went on behind closed doors in the stewards orifice this afternoon will emerge before the race tomorrow.

He did move to the right though, but whats the problem with that, its debatable and i want to see an onboard of lewis that that jink was him returning or even following the racing line or not driving straight for that wall that comes up, and veers right mind.


There was nothing wrong with the jink, the jink is innocent! However, there is lots wrong with a jink when someone else is in the way. I don't think this was him taking the racing line as I didn't see anyone else do it plus from the video clips I've seen he already seemed to be on the correct line.

To be honest, I think they were both playing silly buggers and it got out of hand with Maldonado loosing it. If Hamilton ends up lapping Maldonado (or vise versa) it could get interesting.

I love the way everyone is using "jink". I'm a trend setter! :rofl::thumbup:

I don't think there is any debate to be had about Maldonado being a numpty!

Lewis getting a reprimand was a poo rubbish decision. I feel very disgusted about this. I really do think the stewards are unfair to him and am at a loss as to why :confused:

Depends what the reprimand was for. We still don't know for certain and are just speculating.

But there is no point in getting upset about a reprimand. He still starts 2nd, he'll probably still win as this track should suit the McLaren better, so this will be another good sob-story for the Hamiltonians to tell time and time again during the cold, dark winter evenings.


BTW, did anyone hear Alonso complaining over the radio about other cars being on-track! :rofl:

Penalty for MAL and just a reprimand for HAM?

Disappointing, they should both be penalized.

They both drove in to each other.


No they didnt. One car was infront of the other.

Looking forward to see how BSenna does in the race!

So happy for him.


Me too. Really want to see him have a successful debut for Renault. :)

(And welcome back after a break since posting from April last year btw!)

I think as he settles in the rhythm, he might move up the ranks. For some reason I think a podium or a position close to the podium is doable.

Kubica and Senna can be plenty good for Renault.

(thanks! It is good to be back to the forum! So happy to share my f1 passion with everyone)
