grahamc Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 why was he not just relagated to 4th seems a bit harsh Because he blatantly lied to the stewards!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 What a stupid thing to do. If they had told the truth from the start, they may have been given third, or made to keep fourth. Either way it would have been a lot better than this mess they've created! It really does ruin the enjoyment of F1, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED_ROCKET Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 i would of thought they may have been thinking they should let him past to avoid any penalties if the safety car was out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah he should have just taken the place loss and said the team were confused about whether he was allowed to overtake (due to previous decisions last year) so they played it safe and gave the place back.

Dnk Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 With all the policing going on in the sport now why would you lie as you must know it'll bite you in the ass sooner or later, very unprofesional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 With all the policing going on in the sport now why would you lie as you must know it'll bite you in the ass sooner or later, very unprofesional Its a real shame as Lewis has already proved his talent, so why he thought he would do something like that defies belief really. Maybe they shouldn't have any radio contact in the cars during the races, except for maybe a light on the dashboard when they should pull in for a stop etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Didn't take them long to screw up this years season did it. *sign* EDIT: 'Them' being the drives, teams and FIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 seems like a sign of immaturity to lie like that to the stewards (4th was way better than ZERO points not to mention the embarrassment; lucky they didnt get penalised even more), both on behalf of the driver and more critically on behalf of the team.

Still could, may pick up a 2 race ban. Lets hope not, dont want any excuses at the end of the season when Jenson beats him to the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Feeds from Sepang http://www.justin.tv/mauro_conde http://www.justin.tv/dragons_bar I was just coming on to ask if there is any feeds for the qualifying. BBC video does not load as I think my work has changed it's server location as youtube always says 'unavailable in your country' However anyone apart from the 2 above and BBC got any sites that has live feeds as the 2 from Nic do not load neither. Edit or it could be that it does not start till 10am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Oh dear. Good for Button I say. I doubt he (or anyone in Sport) has had the millions thrown at him from such a young age that Hamilton has done, and yet he is proving so far to be an equally capable driver.

Hamilton is a world champion... Button is a fantastic driver but classifying him as "equally capable" is a bit premature in my opinion. Personally, I love Hamilton's aggressive driving and overtaking moves and admire buttons's smoothness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
