seriously....Hamilton said he learnt from last season but this race shows that hes still the same vunerable/over excited driver as before....there is no middle ground for hamilton in racing as he either obliterates the field or just creates mistake after mistake in a race.
I want him to win this year but I have my doubts after today....I fear its Massa's title
Ferrari's powerful political influence on Formula 1 is very obvious this season. If Massa (quite like him as a person, but I'm not impressed with his team) gets away with his shunt on Bourdais, then it is all too obvious that Ferrari gains favour from the people in power (namely the stewards). Bourdais was penalised, but it was clearly Massa who caused the shunt and Massa caused at least 3 incidents today. And another trend that does not impress me is the easy penalties imposed on racers and overtakers. What is the point of Formula 1 if the drivers are being penalised for trying to race and overtake ? Hamilton drove a poor race but he had every right in wanting to take Raikonnen on turn 1.
I agree about the very dodgy stewards decisions this year but if Hamilton had just stayed behind Raikonnen at Turn 1, then I'm sure the race was his to win...he should have kept his head and not got annoyed about his poor start and waited afew laps before re-passing Raikonnen as Hamilton was clearly quicker....Hamilton did this to himself...the stop/go penalties just compounded his error.
