if you watch this throught hamiltons car you will see tha he didnt slow down through the straight and it was a clear overtaking by raikonnen.lewis didnt intend to give raikonnes's place back.my opinion

what a fucking waste of two minutes of my life! Hamilton took evasive action and then yielded the posistion back to kimi after the corner, so hamilton's pass on the following straight was fair! You've got too much time on your hands mate

This is a highly biased video, Mclaren proved to the FIA via telemetry that Hamilton lifted to let Kimi through it's only because he judged it well that he didn't lose much ground on Kimi and was therefor able to out break him town into turn 1. If Kimi had finished the race then yes maybe the penalty was fair but how does it make sense to reward Massa for this? Kimi was infront when the crash happened so this overtake didn't push Kimi into the mistake.

he most definitely gained an advantage, although he did give the position back it was only for about 2 seconds as now slowing for the chicane meant he had a huge advantage over raikonen

@pumbadvr9 What are you on about !?! these are F1 drivers, Hamilton is not exactly going to slow down when he can see that Raikkonen is easily going to take the position back, its F1, this is a race and both of them want to win. Raikkonen was very (almost too) defensive, forcing Lewis of the track, they each had a fair chance, Lewis should have got the win, disgraceful.

@76ben91 in the end Hamilton got away with it easily. and why I say "easily"? cause he took a 25-second penalty while he should have taken a 30-second penalty bringing him to 5th place if I'm not mistaken. at the last corner Alonso overtook 2 cars to get 4th position so those 2 cars couldn't have been more than 2 seconds behind him. and if ham had got the 30-second penaly that would have brought him to position 5

so do your homework before u open your mouth next time

@76ben91 ham cut through the chicane and then had to give back the 1st place

so, facts:

1. he gave the possition back but blocked kimi's racing line so kimi braked like 20 meters before hamilton. STILL AN ADVANTAGE.

2. after giving the pos back u have to wait until after the next corner to try and overtake. after ham cuts hrough the chicane can u tell me what is the next corner? that's right. THE FIRST CORNER OF THE LAP! the corner where hamilton overtook kimi to gain the possition!

@MegaMrDamo Amen to that bro. Most tracks these days just look like big parking lots, where there be no consequences at all if you do mistakes. Hence so many using it to an advantage. Bring back gravel traps I say.

[TheZWEBIE]

THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT! Kimi had to give Lewis room because lewis had the driving line!!!! simple as that... obviously the stewards that day where FUCKED UP!

[MegaOro123]

personaly i dont think he should have rechived that pen

[x420Raptor1]

@pumbadvr9 youre so wrong you dumb bastard, Lewis gave the place back, kimi was only half a car infront going into the bus stop, lewis gave him more than that back on the straight and then owned him, so suck dick racist motherfuckers.

[MegaMrDamo]

It is just another reason to have gravel traps, and the old chicane backa again
