Lewis has apologised and called it 100% his fault which I think is being harsh on himself. He moved over yes but there was still more than a car width of track left to Kamui (even if he wasnt aware how close he was). It was just an unfortunate racing incident. As for a punishment, how about the fact it ended his race. Or was this incident punished? It only didnt involve contact because Hamilton chose to take to the grass.
Some drivers in F1 today have a much worse record of shall we say ethics and yet seems to recieve no level of hate in here. The only real black mark on Lewis' name was the steward incident from Australia. However if he had brake-tested his rivals twice, gone full speed into a double yellow zone (marshals on track) and crashed heavily risking lives, accused the sport of not being a sport, trying to sabotage your team-mates fuel, blocked competitors in the pits, blackmailed his team and conspired to win a GP through cheating you might have a point. I could list a certain Germans many indiscretions too but it would go on way too long.
Way too long is kind of an exageration. Hill Adelaide 94 Villeneuve Herent 97 Barrichello Austria 02 Frentzen Canada 98 Tell me some more.
Wow, from 24th to 5th. I think he is definitely the driver of the day, and what a way to celebrate his 20th anniversary.
I think that is as close as we have come to agreeing Zere <3
As for Schumacher, he has made a career of crashing into his competition rather than being overtaken. This season alone I think he has lost five front wings on the first lap. Coulthard described him last weekend as a man who would do anything to win. I prefer the quote from V for Vendetta when describing Creedy "Its at this point in our story that along comes a spider. He is a man seemingly without a conscience for whom the ends always justify the means". Other major indiscretions to add to your list however could include Barrichello last year at Hungary, blocking the track at Monaco to maintain pole, Ignoring black flags, serving a stop-go after the race in effect not serving it, throwing a tantrum at Spa and ofcourse who could forget his framing of Bertrand Gachot.

Clearly proving why no one from England should be considered as an authority in F1 at all.
Schumacher has made a career of winning, 7 championships, 91 races. Hamilton on the other hand, despite the massive support from the FIA, has made a career of losing.
Atleast Coulthard took being a loser to the commentary box and made some money. I wonder if hamilton will even succeed at doing that!

That clearly proves why you didnt understand the Ali G comment or mine, both were jokes
I understood your bad humor, I just didn't respect it. Lewis, on the other hand, wasn't joking, you could see it clearly if you saw the video. He flubbed it, backtracked and pretended it was a joke. Remember Lewis is a proven liar, and a bad one!
Ofcourse even if it was a joke it was a terrible one and deserved sanction from FIA, but they don't want their golden boy to have more controversy.

Yeah right, so let me work out this logic. Anyone who makes a joke you dont like can not hold a valid opinion on F1. Not only that but anyone from the same country cant either? Genius. I will take my own advice and ignore your posts now for the drivel they are.
As dodgy as a couple of those moves were, you have to admire Schumacher for his intelligence. I'm sure he was aware of Hamilton's attitude of "I have to finish the race" and that's why he was pushing it so hard and relying on Hamilton to not just make a bold move.
I allways support McLaren Mercedes, but seeing Red Bull run away with it makes me sigh. Though I like to see how well Di Resta is doing, hes usually allways having a good race.

to be fair, it has been for a while. something would have had to go really wrong for Vettel, he's only been off the podium once all season i think? either way, the sky deal is no doubt gonna suck but at least there's no breaks during the race like there was on ITV.
Well I won't be watching any races on Sky. I refuse to pay a £600 a year subscription for a service that won't be as good as the service I'm getting right now for free. If I watch at all, it will be streaming the blank FOTA stream with no commentary, and listening to the 5-live radio commentary over it.
Edit: Hah. The English fans behind Eddie and Jake chanting "No more sky" xD
