Took the liberty to cut and paste this from the Judge since I know some of the members are incapable of browsing there for some reason.

That was very considerate of you; but, I would like to add that "some" of us can't be bothered!

It would have to be a big worry to any Lewis fan to read that Judge13 was on their boys side - given he's proven to be as accurate on F1 as Erasmus Wilson on electric lighting or Daryl Zanuck on TV or Enzo on rear mounted engines

The judge isn't on anyone's 'side'. But I guess he can see when someone commits an blatant foul which is ignored by the ref.
it's a good idea to be bothered reading around, rather than sticking only to favoured sources, that way you have more facts and views to think about before arriving at your own considered opinion on all sorts of topics.

Actually the first article on the incident was found to be too much on Nicos side and attracted a lot of negativity all around leading to the second article the next day with a more 'balanced' view
Just goes to show how those who are too cowardly to read things that might be upsetting miss a lot of information

4) Cuckled at the fact Lewis' tyre remains got caught up in Rosbergs aerial.

You realise it wasn't Lewis' tyre, it was actually Jules Bianchi's.

Oh was it. Sorry didn't see his name on it.

You haven't been watching F1 long have you? Noobie.

Hell yeah, the one that caused hamilton to get ZERO points yesterday

Actually a point to be made here is that Hamilton in getting his car back to the pits without his floor intact is in part responsible for zero points being earned. A bit of care in returning and he could have been on for a good 'ol run up the order and grabbed a few points.

LRW, you didn't need to see a name on it. All you need to know is where it was flicked up. A Sauber flicked it up on the Kemmel straight well before the area where Lewis received his puncture and the only car to have had a puncture in that area of the track

And you reckon if he had gone very very slowly the damage done by floor to track contact would have been less? maybe because by going slowly the duration of contact would have been much longer but that wouldnt have had any lasting effect??

Quick question Einstein, if your car had just a bit of fuel left in it and you were in danger of running out before getting to the petrol station a few miles ahead, is it better to drive very fast (using up more fuel but arriving quicker) or to drive very very slow (using up less fuel but for a longer duration)

What if you had a race to run and you were losing time to other drivers, would that influence your choice?

Second quick question, do you think a car thats driven with floor to track contract gets cumulative damage or do you think there is a certain point when the real damage happens?

Take your time, you may call a friend

He's just pointing out that it was Lewis' fault he damaged his car. I'm sure someone wouldn't come here and sprout technical crap that they've got no idea wtf they're even talking about, I'm sure overboost must the qualifications to *know* for certain that it was his speed for three miles around the circuit getting back to the pits that ruined his race. Otherwise the qualification is being in the h8rz club.

[CookinFlat6]

hmmn, driving nearly the full length of the longest lap in F1 with 3 wheels and having the insurance company refuse to pay up because you made it worse seems like one of those inevitable situations when it never rains but pours

Maybe Merc will dock some of his salary to balance the books

Lol

Maybe he should've gotten out and carried the car back to the pits in perfect condition, while getting lapped 10 laps over by the other cars.

F**k's sake.

Lewis damaged his underfloor with the remains of his shredded tire.

Driving back to the pits a little bit slower may have prevented this entirely. Bianchi who was punctured right at the start did just this, he had much further to go but brought his car back intact and he had excellent pace in the race. Hamilton cruised back at a very high speed considering having a puncture and just before reaching the pits is when the damage was done. Watching the start again I can see that the floor of Hamilton's car wasn't making noticeable contact with the track, it was due to the tire slap.

Because of his damaged floor Lewis wasn't able to do his 'patented' recovery drive.

[Hammer278]

How do you judge how slow to go to save the floor of the car?

A racer's instinct is to save as much time as possible and get back to the pits to have 4 tyres again.

[akeizm]

Makes me think. What will be the results when the larger 18" wheels are brought in. Less punctures from wing damage?

[LH44]

I did think Lewis was dragging the car a bit too fast back to the pits but I'm sure he was given a radio message to switch a button and had almost 3miles to navigate. Also it would be very naive to compare Bianchi's puncture to Hamilton's. Two totally different cars with different balance and rake.

RyRy. Please stop spoiling my fun. I don't like it.
