Re: Formula 1 2012 season
Quote:
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton has been excluded from qualifying at the Spanish Grand Prix after stopping his car out on the track at the end of qualifying.
Hamilton qualified on pole but will start from the back of the grid.
Hamilton was told to stop because there was insufficient fuel in the car for him to get back to the pits and provide a sample, as required by the rules.
The stewards rejected McLaren's argument that not putting enough fuel in the car was "force majeure".

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
From what i saw on BBC and read didnt they tell him to stop as they thought it was a technical issue and Lewis didnt know why he had to pull over

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
I agree but its a bit harsh to penalise Lewis that much for a team error

McLaren really have to sort things out as this is the 4th or 5th balls up they have made this season and in the process they have probably cost Lewis Hamilton 30 to 40 points in the process as well and in my mind the buck stops at the top and Whitmarsh really has to start getting his act together and sorts out these amateurish errors being made by the McLaren team.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
If he had "accidentally" spun, he would still have pole...honesty is not always best policy
