LH didn't leave a car width for webber which he is supposed to unless he is TOTALLY past. Having "cleared" him means he was more then 1/2 car length ahead which means he gets to choose his line and only has to leave enough room for the other driver to stay beside, which he didn't really.
That said, with the speed webber went into the corner, that outcome was going to happen whether hamilton left room or not.

Regardless of MW was right or wrong, it was a pretty stupid and risky move. He could have easily avoided LH; he just didn't want to. And he was damn lucky not having been a casualty as well. LH was clearly ahead of MW, and right on his blind spot; MW was just an a-hole, whether justified or not. I'm not a fan of either one, but at least LH is not an a-hole.

Bad luck continue with LH today, although he is now 3rd for the champ, he will need to pull alot of tricks out of that yellow hat to be a serious contender for the next 4 races. I still think the McLaren is not as fast and I dont think they are going to improve any better. NW driving is questionable for a veteran.

Please, we have all seen his kamikaze decision making against Sebastian Vettel in Turkey and his lack of common sense at Valencia against Heikke. The guy thinks his dad owns the track.

I'd say its just bad luck for LH...he thought he cleared MW and turn into the apex as usual.
Then MW wanted to take the position back by taking the inside line into the corner. However LH was only 1/2 car ahead and MW wasn't planning to give it back easily, so, shit happens. Nothing more than just racing incident.

I still remember the Canadian GP of '08. Hamilton couldn't get past Kimi on the circuit so he "accidentally" hits him in the pits... when the light was clearly red. And that was the *only* reason BMW Sauber got that 1-2 win. If not for that, they would've been fortunate to get on the podium.

Given his attitude and the way he drives this season, I would say, LH performance is pretty good this year. Makes me want to start rooting for him since he is well now the underdog in the four (FA, MW,LH,SV).

That being said, I think you are being incredibly harsh on Webber. If you watch some of the other passes at turn 7, the successful guys usually left a bit more room than Hamilton did. If you MUST place blame on someone, well sure, Webber could have backed out. But I don't think his move was "stupid" or "lucky." Webber knew how important track position was for the championship, and he is simply a hard racer. From my point of view, blame goes 75-25 webber Hamilton. Not enough for a penalty so well done by the stewards. Other points I'd like to make - great run by Robert, and great to see such an eventful race!! So much passing in the dry on a street track, if Singapore keeps delivering like this, it will remain a popular grands prix. And how badass is Heikki?? Talk about taking care of your own business - major props to the Finnish way of doing things, I was impressed how cool and responsible he was. |

Another note, how is it only 1/2 car length when Webbers' front tire hits Hamilton's rear tire? Seems pretty avoidable to me. I had a feeling that Hamilton had another DNF coming to him though. I could just see it coming. Hopefully now it is out of the way and he can get back to it.

We need more this kind of wheel to wheel racing, not the stewards slapping everyone's hand on a failed attempt. Nonetheless, still very unlucky for LH. But its all part of motor-racing.

It sux for LH but when you try as hard as he does, these type of things will happen. Very unfortunate to have it happen back to back races, one being 100% his fault and the other not so much |
