Easy there McLaren supporters!

You're dealing with Hamiltonians that live in the McLarenina province here, not just plain McLarenonians.

No such thing as common sense.

Either way, it's all done, in the past and can't be undone. No point getting steamed about it. No real harm was done.

I like fans of all drivers, I like F1 as a whole!

Do you care now?

[The_Stig_Money]

PM is getting a penalty for that? WTF if any penalties are handed out it should be for both drivers for there lack of safety on the cool down lap

I have watched the video multiple times and think that it was LH being over aggressive,

LH deserves another penalty this year (6th this season?)

[Crawf]

Very Very Very soft penalty IMO. While Hamilton isn't completely innocent.....Maldonado deserved a much bigger penalty

Rubbish poll.
Where's the "He shouldn't have been punished as it was a racing incident" option???

This is yet another "he did it" "no, it was him" moment from the most childish driver in all of F1.

What a ridiculous, biased statement. You should apply to be a steward.

Really?? i havent seen any of the "additional" footage flying around. But i did see it during the session and made absolutely nothing out of it. In the end, they probably just gave a penalty because they've been handing those quite often lately...

Banned from the race.................... pffffffffffft get real.

Where did you get that from??

[F1er]

Pay Driver! And can't even beat an old Rubens.

All I need to know.

It's was just a case of a young driver who lost his cool...He got punished, it's time to move on...

What i'd really like to see is the onboard from BOTH cars before making any rash judgement on this.

I believe at that point the "racing" was over, so no racing incident to be had.

I spent some time watching the replays since I recorded the qualifying, if I had to put blame it wold be 80/20 or there about on Maldonado. The thing is, it shouldn't have happened to begin with and it was clear there was intent. Hamilton did move but there is no way to say why he moved, regardless it wasn't that move that caused the contact.

What can one say, it's that hot Latin blood, and Maldonado himself would likely say he got off light.

Maldanado should be watching the race today, he is lucky!

When Hamilton bumped Maldonado on the last corner in Q2 - it was risky, but they were racing the clock.
Hamilton saw his chance and took it - fair enough.
What happened afterwards was just plain dangerous.
Nevermind the safety of Hamilton and Maldonado - it's the marshalls and spectators that were put at risk unnecessarily.
Schumacher was penalised 10 places for pushing Barrichello close to the wall in Hungary last year - and there was NO contact.
Deliberate contact in a non-racing situation is inexcusable.
End of.
