Re: Formula 1 2008 Season
Must admit, as much as I think there's a huge Ferrari bias from the FIA/Stewards, this was one was Hamilton's fault, and as much as I don't like the penalty he's been given, I have to say that is was the right decison.

Re: Formula 1 2008 Season
So based upon this ruling if anyone causes another car to go off of the track they will get penalised???

This is not a new ruling at all and has been handed out on several occasions in the past.
Basically if the stewards deem the incident to have been the fault of one driver alone and wholly avoidable they will issue him (or her) with a 10 place grid penalty for the next race.
I see no controversy with this decision at all, most racing incidents do not get penalised, thankfully, and this rule is used to punish stupidity and recklessness.

Re: Formula 1 2008 Season
David Coulthard has confirmed that he will retire from Formula One at the end of the season.

Its a shame, even though he is 37 he has more drive, experience and skill than 80% of the other drives in the starting line-up.

Re: Formula 1 2008 Season
Bye bye Silverstone, F1's off to Donny in 2010. Comes as no surprise really but Donington's going to need a few bob spending there beforehand.

Re: F1 - Belgium GP 2008
Yep it's the incident I mentioned.....
The thing is that they won;t disqualify him or put him back on the next grid, so that leaves them a 10 second penalty (that won;t alter the result) or a fine...
BUT I still don;t think he did anything wrong there unless they're considering the same a kovalinen and that is an unavoidable collision but I don;t think they touched..

Re: F1 - Belgium GP 2008
I konw I sound like a broken record every time I say this..........
But a race victory has gone to McLaren at the expense of Ferrari, don't be too surprised if Hamilton ends up not winning the race after all.
Also, even tho Kovalienen(sp?) deserved his penalty, it would have been nice to compare it to what would have happen if the same thing was done in a Ferrari.
FIA = Ferrari International Assistance.
