Ha, another rule is made because of Lewis Hamiltons actions!

I guess you need to do your homwork before you open your mouth.

Oh, what's the point in having the stig up,lol the man has been exposed.

wonder if parking tickets count?

Teams won't allow their drivers to drive on roads anymore. It may be in the contract from next year!!

Probably will happen, they'll just be chauffeured everywhere.

What was that about the FiA not liking qualitative rules made for reactionary reasons? Oh that's right, it only matters if it upsets Ferrari.

Was that meant at me? I've already expressed my disliking for this rule.

A driver protest is in order. Something akin to what professional bicyclists do to protest stupid rules created by their sanctioning body. When the starter's pistol sounds, no one moves. After a predetermined interval, they set off at a leisurely pace.

F1 can't do it exactly this way, of course, because their engines would bake, but they should be able to convene the GPDA and come up with some scheme to show their solidarity and to demonstrate to the FIA that they are grown men and insist on being left to their own devices away from the track.

...Drivers are meant to be role models and set a good example....

Yes, they are meant to drive too fast, drink too much and date supermodels (two or three at a time).

Kids don't grow up admiring F1 drivers because they drink milk and are good to their Mums, they admire them because they are larger than life, they engage in larger than life exploits and can drive a racing car like a bat out of hell.

EDIT:
This is the foreseeable consequence to conceding that F1 should have a social conscience. The green nonsense was just the camel's nose under the tent. We already have churches and the Boy Scouts and the United bleedin' Nations, they should leave F1 to do what it does best: make cars go really fast around a street circuit.

Anyone see the irony in the timing of the FIAs release? Road going offenses aren't tolerated while ontrack offenses are...

Home work? Are you 12 years old? Pull your head out of your urethra and see whats going on!

Hamilton has played ignorant for ever and gets away with border line infractions

Hamilton has skirted rules acouple times,

1. "passing" the safety car

2. his car ran out of fuel on the cool down lap, now they need to have enough fuel so the fia can test the fuel

3. lying to stewards and telling them his team told him to lie

He is pushing his limits and then the FIA have to make rules to clarify future actions

Other drivers just use common sense

Would those other drivers be ones like........nah, this is just too easy

[scotty]

This is a little OTT. If it were something like drink driving, i'd wholeheartedly agree. But it isn't...

[f1ea]

F1 is headed for the US market. And that's the market of paparazzis and an undying obsession of acting outraged when famous people do what normal people do.

Ah well, personally, i dont care what drivers do with their lives. As long as they are not making sadomasoquistic orgies and getting it filmed... they should be able and deserve to live privately. If they do whatever they do, and the law says they cant, then the law should punish them... be it with a ticket, a fine, some volunteer work, jailtime, whatever... that's it.

Sadly the law in most states and quite a few countries says you can't have "sadomasoquistic orgies and getting it filmed... "

I'm ok even if they did that.

I guess that's the whole point of this discussion, showing that some laws are very specific for a reason, then we overlay those laws with our versions of morality and what's socially fashionable and that's when things clash.

So there you go. in whichever country they are, they have to go by the laws of such country. If they break it, they pay just like everyone else does. No more no less. In fact, i'm sure many people have done burnouts in Aussieland, and never gotten the major to say they're twats on the paper, so that's 'un-normal' treatment right there.

So no other driver has passed a safety car?

Micheal Suck Balls Macker knocking down a member of the public is common sence, are you dumb?

One of his team members told him what to say that's why he got the sack.

So his car ran out of fuel, ermm last i heard it wasn't the drivers who put the fuel in. Are you sure you are watching F1 instead of standing outside your local BP station?

You don't like Lewis,that's fine but at least be man enough and say it instead of hiding behind dumb comments and excuses.

The stig is out of the bag he might as well take the helmet off. Hmmm, perhaps he could give it to a real helmet.

You seem to fit the bill.

2. his car ran out of fuel on the cool down lap, now they need to have enough fuel so the fia can test the fuel

That was just a lie to cover up the super secret team order Mclaren use to make sure Button doesn't overtake Hamilton.

Although they didn't add that rule as far as i know it was already implemented before that race since Brundle and Legard were discussing it after Hamilton got out of the car.

Was a memo or something, and got clarified after the race or something. Basically, Mclaren knew it shouldn't been done, but they proved it was a technical fault that he diddn't have enough fuel in.

Ultimately though, the FIA seem to have some badely thought out rules already in place, and tend to be reactionary(not counting the example above) . Which leads to new rules being invented after events.

Sumacher's penalty in Monaco would've been a better example, the rule wasn't made clear and Brawn decided to risk it, the stewards I think it was, found themselves with only one option, and the rule got clarified after the race.

Could say, with the teams using the DDD, and now its being banned next season, same with the F-duct.
