To be honest there would be no point. It won't help. This could carry on for months. But from the whole Ferrari scandal rubbish they hate that feeling and wouldn't want any more rain clouds to follow them to track? That’s just bringing bad publicity their way. I find it disgusting how he ha cheated in this manor but that is sports for you. But in the end the right man will be on the right path. Lewis is turning some faces very ugly. Maybe he needs to watch out! Disgusted.

Oh I can't believe it, FIA against hamilton!!1
I am so sad.....
i can't write nothing else.

Maybe somebody opened his eyes....

Would like to see transcripts of the meetings held with stewards.

Also, probably a silly question but why is it that the stewards who are in KL making this decision and not the ones who were at the original questioning in Oz?

That is what I thought.

In General F1 Discussion "All The Official FIA Stats For Each Race" by Mike99 is no longer active, does anybody have a new link for stats.

Just trial and erorr navigating around the page.

From what I understand the stewards from Australia RECONVENED in Malaysia, so it's the same people.

Isnt one of them the idiot from Spa? the one who said he'd made the tifosi very happy and wouldnt need to buy any drinks that night?? Isnt that the oh -so -professional-steward who is going to be at Malaysia?

[Rivelution]

There's no point them appealing because here it's blatantly obvious that Hamilton did wrong; however, once again, the punishment is harsh.

My thoughts exactly.

Mine as well.

[Gilles 27]

I think its about right, they tried to get another driver penalised by lying. Now I'd much rather see a McLaren finish above a Toyota any day, but that kind of thing isn't on.

In other news, i reckon Dave Ryan was suspended because McLaren need to suspend someone in order to distance themselves from the issue, cut out the rot if you like. i think Davey and Hamilton were both involved to a significant degree and watching Hamilton's press conference, i am convinced that he had a major role in it. The trouble is McLaren can't very well suspend Hamilton so Dave Ryan had to go. All this talk of Hamilton being a scapegoat is utter rubbish, Ryan is if anything.

[Jabberwocky]

I don't think they have anything to appeal. If lewis told them "he slowed down to read his display", and the radio recording said "slow down let Trulli past" then he has lied to the stewards, so they sits the judgement. He miss lead the Stewards. nothing to appeal

If you look at "Transcript of McLaren radio transmission" on autosport.com, you could say the "slow down let Trulli past" is negated by next exchange. "Stay ahead. We will get back to you. We are talking to Charlie." LH: I let him past. This is so ambiguous, did Trulli pass LH to regain 3rd position without Lewis really intending it. And for the race director to ask LH whether he had consciously allowed Trulli to overtake, I can see two points of view for Lewis. The stewards asked a gotcha question and either intent by Lewis or team would be misleading according to pre-determined rules of FIA.

Team "Slow Down let him past"
Lewis slows down an lets him past
Team "No don't let him past"
oh dear damage done.

Stewards "did you let Trulli Passed?"
Lewis/Mclaren "no"

replay tape, oh dear.

I am not really sure why Mclaren had to brief Lewis on the way to the meeting.... Could a driver really not remember what happened? unless McLaren set out to lie.

I think Bruce would be spinning in his grave

[8-ball]

It's clear deception by Mclaren. Both Hamilton and Davey are to blame and that rubbish Lewis is spewing about "I was misled" is just trying to shift the blame.

[Jabberwocky]

I don't think that it was intentional I would imagine it was an on the fly decision, and this time it just did not work out

I don't.
It sets a precedent for the future. I'm just gutted Dave Ryan has taken all the greif for it.

[Jensonb]

I don't.

You don't what? Agree?

[Hanwombat]

I don't.

You don't what? Agree?

He obv doesnt agree the punishment is harsh enough
