Not on purpose of course, but any time you break a rule in F1 it is technically cheating and Lewis seems to do a lot of it (hence all the penalties).Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948860730299595440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-11070003431515889982012-04-26T21:26:06.067-04:002012-04-26T21:26:06.067-04:00"...and give him a chance to mature."

What if there was an escape road down the inside that let you completely cut the first corner. Would you also accept that people can use that escape road to cut the first corner and pass cars in the process during the race because it part of the "track layout & design"? No, it would be unfair. Is there a difference between using this escape road during the race or qualifying, and using it in practice? Yes, lap time matters in the race and qualy, it doesn't in practice.<br /><br />Fernando Alonso is my favourite driver, however in this situation I know he was wrong and I can accept that and admit it. Why is it that 90% of Hamilton fans on the internet just can't accept that Hamilton occasionally makes mistakes and admit it when it happens. In this situation, Hamilton was 110% in the wrong and it should be clear as day to anyone with clear knowledge of racing and I can't believe he wasn't penalised for it. I sets a horrible precedent.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948860730299595440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-2227184268335122322012-04-25T21:49:15.626-04:002012-04-25T21:49:15.626-04:00It does not matter that the pass was not at the mo...It does not matter that the pass was not at the moment he was off line.

And now that the sponsorship contract with Lotus has come to an end, they also have nothing to do with Lotus as well (exept that they can still carry their name until 2015 or something like that..).<br /><br />And now that the team is making very strong results and might very possibly win races in the future under the "Lotus" name, don't you guys think that Lotus should keep supporting the team for their own good?
