Decisions against Hamilton.... etc

As I've already said, I really enjoyed the battle too. But it should be clear that this is not my point.

Chrispa: I think that dragging up other specific incidents - which have been exhaustively debated - to make comparisons; becomes a diversion and is ultimately futile. Each and every case should be looked at (and debated) in isolation. Ultimately we are left with our own opinions; and mine is that Schumacher was very very close to overstepping the boundaries of an established rule. What Hamilton has done in the past is utterly irrelevant to this incident.

 

Surely this thread is incorrectly headed it is called Decisions against Hamilton and then goes on to talk about Schumacher not getting one at Monza.

Rightly or wrongly the steward didn't give Michael a penalty, but that has got nothing to do with Hamilton, Hamilton's situation is a completely different issue, so please try and not post misleading titles, for some reason I see that a lot on this site and would ask a moderator to do something about it thank you.

In fact this is the second misleading thread posted by this OP, maybe I should start a thread called The G.O.A.T and then go on to talk about farm animals specifically COWS

 

Well you have no problem with Michael Schumacher as a person at all .. do you...

 

My opinion is that yesterdays incident was borderline but ok. I also think it was good for racing.
I believe Hamilton thinks it should be ok as well - but wants consistancy from Stewards as he has been penalised for exactly this in the past.
I say give a little leeway & let them race!

 

Yeah so feisty that Button cruised up behind them popped on by without breaking a sweat and said I'll wait for you at the finish line lads after I squirt some champaign about.

 

@cosicave
Yes that's exactly what I tried to say that I do not like, draging other drivers into it and make comparisons. Hence I wrote this:

"Now I am not entirely sure that I remember when Hamilton got penalized for changing directions more than once so I do not want to compare them. But talking about today only, I agree that MSC came close of braking the rules, though it is far from a crystal clear case if you ask me after looking at the only one angle and camera view BBC provided."

This topic is supposed to be about Decisions against Hamilton, yet you guys talk about and compare with Schumacher. Did you see my other statement?

"I fail to see what the OP is really after. What decision was against Hamilton? If they Marshalls would have deemed MSC's driving braking the rules they would have given him a penalty. But how exactly would that have Favoured Lewis?"

So tell me how you are "Isolating" each incident by dragging Schumi into this topic that is supposed to be about Hamilton? I merely replied to what you guys had already compared.


Btw, sorry for mixing up stewards with marshals

 

Hamilton lost out yesterday.. laughing looking at the papers and the BBC website.

 

Schumacher is dragged into everything, his name is worn out here and by the beeb commentators as well as the media. Good on Michael, keep racing the way you do, the FIA has reduced drivers to lifeless 1 movers. In the 90's real passionate racing occured.... Michael refuses to be lifeless.

 

There was nothing wrong with it. If it was the other way around, then nobody (especially the BBC) would care. I dont like either driver but it was fair on both of them. I still want to know why people think Schumacher chopped Hamilton, when Hamilton just tried to go into a gap that didnt exist.

 

Just because the stewards may have made a dubious decision about Hamilton in the past that's no reason to punish Schumacher who I thought had a storming race yesterday. I don't think Schumacher actually did much wrong in his duel with Hamilton. He may have been close to the limit but from what I saw, Schumacher made his defensive move but then returned to the racing line. That's obviously how the stewards saw it and that's why they chose to not take any action. Schumacher may have pushed the boundaries in the past but that's what made him so successful and his supreme competitiveness is what made yesterday's battle with Hamilton so exciting. I hope for the benefit of F1 that Schumacher continues to improve and if Mercedes can further develop the car then that will make for a very interesting season next year.

 

Well you don't know the British F1 fan base at all do you.

 

It is slightly amusing how in Spa when Hamilton drifted into Kobi he admitted it was his fault, maybe he was hoping for good Karma, turns out it didn't come when Schumacher drifted into him

 

Simple thing is Hamilton tried to go for a gap that didn't exist and stayed behind Michael for around 30 laps....Button got passed with ease.. It is a shame that Michael is ALWAYS framed for the slightest thing.. Brundle was going crazy when Michael made 2 moves (1 for the defense - 1 for the corner) "THAT WAS TWO MOVES" to a neutral person that I have asked today.. he believed the race was excellent and that Schumacher seems to be finding something inside him...blatant bias towards Hamilton from the BBC.

 

If I learnt anything from the 606 days its that the BBC love Button and hate Hamilton. This is because Button buys the press guys steak...... apparently

 

Yeah but if Sunday is anything to go by, it's that I would rather wear ear muffs than listen to Brundle-Coulthard and Eddie.. who have all had 1st hand experience with Schumacher and try to get across they don't have a problem with him.

 

Racers raced fairly and didn;t need written rules regarding overtkaing and defending.............until they had to write them because of the start-line chops, dubious moves, squeezing of opponents, drifting on corner exits......... all of which were first brought into the sport by Schumacher.

 

How factually correct is your post? to the last "fact"> wasn't Senna or Prost involved with these?

 

Fact everything I say is an opinion

 

In a way I'm happy Schumi's back of sorts, brings back childhood memories of some good hard fighting.

Didn't like him being brushed aside and I can't wait for 2012 now lol!

 

Well this is it.. he needs a winning car and he would win 90% of the races next season (with Rosberg starting on pole lol).
