massivewangers Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 So Trulli fucked up and fell off the road behind the safety car, yet still rightfully had third place? Seems a bit odd to me, doesn't deserve to get the place back if he did that But, typical of F1, teams playing silly games to get things their way!

Matt86 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 All sounds stupid and if its all just a mix up, why cant Hamilton have points for 4th place rather than being disqualified with no points?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutley Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 reading this bit.. Their verdict was that "Hamilton and... McLaren Mercedes acted in a manner prejudicial to the conduct of the event by providing evidence deliberately misleading to the stewards at the hearing on Sunday." if thats true then the team and hamilton deserve to lose their points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamspeed Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The FIA stewards seriously need to get a grip or we'll have another year of politics over racing. They are provided with all radio transmissions throughout the weekend, and will have reviewed them before this came to light so why didn't they act on Sunday? Not that this will effect Hamilton for Malaysia of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Oh for fucks sake!! I'd like to know how "Hamilton and... McLaren Mercedes acted in a manner prejudicial to the conduct of the event by providing evidence deliberately misleading to the stewards at the hearing on Sunday." IF Lewis didnt tell the stewards that trulli fell off the track and thats why he passed him then maybe he deserves to be done...but....but...i have no idea how the stewards are unaware of what happened..why did they even need to interview lewis when they have cameras all over the track,along with the live radio evidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Why do we watch this. Seriously. Whats the fricking point. What channel are the touring cars on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escort4x4 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Stewards are tossers, simple as they have so many cameras yet they still have to interview people, hamilton is probably the best driver to date because he shows no fear, aggression and confidence just to shrug it off, hamilton will only get stronger and better and will prove critics wrong when he wins the title again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxdie Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 maclaren aren't appealing so they must know they were in the wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamspeed Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The stewards decision was right, but the situation was poorly handled again. First of all when Trulli retook Hamilton, the telemetry boards would all have SC flashing on them (safety car,) so looking at the changed positions on the screen surely common sense would show that he overtook under the safety car. Secondly, the FIA would have monitored the radio transmissions between the pitwall and drivers, a decision should have been made after the race and the FIA should have stuck with it, considering both teams dropped their appeals. Anyway you live and learn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_Si Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I want to know what the transmissions between Hamilton and McLaren actually were so I and everyone else can make our minds up rather than just accepting what the stewards say (not that we can over rule it! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidrick Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Sounds fair enough, and judging by McLaren's reaction, they agree with it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eetaylog Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 i dont understand. Hamilton told the stewards that Maclaren had NOT told him to let Trulli through, but he did actually let him pass to fall back into 3rd place, so what is the problem? what difference does it make whether Mclaren told him to do it or not, especially as its now been proven that they DID tell him to let Trulli back into 3rd??
