    He's allowed to turn in Lewis, he's ahead! Even Coulthard says so like!

    Why does that incident go under investigation, its clearly just a racing accident

    For stupidity. Not the worst ever but one wonders about the point of all those reprimands and final-warnings he's had so far this year.

    If Red Bull want to guarantee the race for Vettel they should trigger another round of stops whenever there's a clear space for him to get back into.

    Jesus that is unbelievable. If I were Massa I'd just go and take Hamilton out later, ridiculous.

    THats a terrible decision. How can you be blamed for taking your line into a corner? Hamilton wasnt ahead of him so Massa had every right to take the corner. Pure racing incident

    I was happy to see someone turn in on Hamilton when he tried a stupid move, apparently it's not allowed now, ridiculous.

    Silly for Massa to do that again on the curb but head might have been elsewhere after the drive through

    So what if there is a faster car behind you a driver should just give way and saw "after you?"

    If Hamilton was behind. Tell me how did he crash into the side of massa's car?
    Look at it again. I must be watching the same race as the stewards. Not sure what one you are watching.

    Would like to see them try something different with Button, put him on the hards for 1 lap then when Vettel comes in to put on the hards Button switches to the softs and charges for the last 20 laps. :pac:

    I think Lewis has been on the end of some questionable decisions, Maldonado crash in Monaco being one of them. This was similar but went the other way

    The front of Hamilton's car hit the side of Massa's car, Massa was ahead. It was ridiculous from Hamilton, he sent it up the inside, realised there was no way to do it, braked and just hoped Massa would go off track.

    What!? You think he shouldn't have gotten a penalty in Monaco?

    If Lewis was beside or infront how did his front wing get damaged? There's no reason whatsoever to give a penalty for this kind of incident, both drivers are equally to blame in these sort of incidents.

    Never said he was behind , he was not far enough alongside to expect massa to just let him by , as for the stewards decision , they are not always correct, already on the main f 1 race commentaries via the web there's widespread disagreement with the decision. You must be a Hamilton fan ?

    Its worth remembering Mansell set that record in a 16 race season in '92

    I think it could have been judged a racing incident
    Could have been judged that Maldonado turned in on Hamilton

    Don't expect it at all but would be great if Button somehow had way more on these tyres than Vettel.
