Hamilton Appeal

I don't know about you guys, but this is enough to make me not want to watch the sport anymore.

It's such blatant Ferrari bias, and I am getting sick of it.

Montreal, Schumy cut the S chicane so many time that it alow him to catch up driver in P1 and pass him on the last lap. MS never got a penality even if it was clear that he gain and unfair advantage eatch time he went trought the last S at pit entrance... FerrarIA !

The penalty might have been faulty in the first place, but FIA sort of saved their own arses by not changing an already set decision, so now they at least don't look like complete idiots.

They just look like complete idiots for allowing inexperienced stewards to rule against non-Ferrari teams on rules they haven't enforced in the past four years.

Well from what I heard during the race is that after Hamilton gave back the position to Kimi he wasn't supposed to attack for position till the second corner after, so he should have stayed behind Kimi until they cleared T1 then attacked and he would have been fine.

FIA rules not mine :)

The only problem with that rule was that it was "written"/determined AFTER Hamilton got penalised. The only rule in effect at the time of the Spa race was the obscure "You have to race on the track" rule. There's no arguing that if Hamilton were to do the same move TODAY, after the rule or its FIA interpretation has been clarified, he would be guilty as hell. It was just far from that clear when it happened.

Anybody noticed how Montezimolo (Ferrari head) attended the appeal court without addressing the "judges", other than attracting their attention and making hand moves toward the big fat money suitcase he was carrying ? :wink: :lol: I'm not implying anything here, I wouldn't dare! :twisted:
