But thru sheer dumb A$$ he ruined a few people's rce. Lets hope next race Karma works in our favours. I don't think the Aussies will be to impressed huh?

Who did, Barrichello? I thought he was punted by Kovalainen?

Edit - i see he was indeed given a push!

Yep. I don't understand why this guy is pushing for Rubens to be disqualified - he didn't actually do anything to warrant even an investigation.

Actually I'm surprised they didn't look into the incident with Kimi. Rubens tapped Kimi, which sent Kimi into a slide and then Rubens straight away gained a place. Now that could be considered gaining an unfair advantage. Which warrants a drive through. Although if there was a problem, Rubens would've simply had to return and position and overtake later. But clearly no ones said anything.

But as we all know, stewarts only give out penalties for drivers overtaking at the front these days.

Totally agree, gosh in any other world that would of been BANG DQ and i guarentee if Kimi did that to Rubbens you would have a scranny

haha lady luck for Hammy huh the guy cant get a break from some peeps it seems. Racing has and always has been about luck! the unknown of what can happen next, and your position isnt certain until you cross the finish line.
so in that sense by driving a clean solid race from the back of the grid to finish where he did is deserving of respect.

coundt have said it better myself

In that aspect I totally agree with you. Which I have no problem with how hammy raced, he got my full support with the decision. Being British and all just with Rubbens that wrecks my head and causes me to pop a vein in my head. I fount it unfair, but that is F1? As he gained an advantage thru his own sheer ramming and carelessness?

i know its as if when the anti stall kicked in he crapped himself and just wanted to go stright on in the 1st corner lol if vettel had a penalty with his drive against kubica i think rubens should have 1 with kimi ......only fair

Could not agree more, this season has already proved to be non-law biding at most.

one thing that i have been reading up on is that toyota are going to appeal the timed penlty...but can get appeal againt one it eill just get thrown out same as spa 08

[bud]

yeah i would laugh if they were allowed to appeal it seeing as Lewis' timed penalty appeal was deemed inadmissible

He'll have to be consistent every race this season and count on some luck to score big points until Mclaren can catch up. In saying that I don't think anyone can doubt that Hamilton's drive yesterday was fairly impressive.

good man !

Appeal in doubt, but Toyota's claim valid
Trulli's podium lost in technicalities?
30/03/09 16:01




Toyota faces an uphill battle to appeal its lost Melbourne podium, but the Japanese team does have a valid case to argue.

Jarno Trulli's third place and champagne celebrations became twelfth on the official classification, after stewards ruled he illegally overtook Lewis Hamilton behind the Safety Car.

The Italian had been running third when the Safety Car came out late in the race, but he dropped behind the McLaren driver in an off-track moment.

"Trulli took back the place under the Safety Car," said McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh at the time of the investigation.

The stewards of the meeting agreed, promoting Hamilton to third, but Trulli insisted that he only passed the Briton because he had "suddenly slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road."

"I thought he had a problem," the 34-year-old said, "so I overtook him as there was nothing else I could do."

The rules permit overtaking under the Safety Car in such circumstances.



The problem for Toyota is the inadmissibility of appeals for post-race 25-second penalties, because if the incident had occurred earlier in the race, the penalty would have taken the form of a drive-through, which is not subject to appeal.

Toyota snuck in its appeal through a loophole, by lodging it not with the stewards of the meeting, but with the local clerk of the course.

The team has two days to formalise its appeal in writing.

If it allows the procedure, the Court of Appeal would be faced with a difficult decision. Hamilton has been quoted by Speed TV as admitting that - after passing Trulli following the Toyota's off - he was then "told (by McLaren) to let him back past."

Hamilton presumably then pulled over and slowed, which would seem to corroborate Trulli's explanation that he only passed the Briton because "there was nothing else I could do."
