Lewis Hamilton and Raikkonen are out of Canadian GP. What are your thoughts?

Question

Hamilton hit Raikkonen

Answer 1

Blame the FIA you do not i repeat you do not open the pits the close it when drivers are in pits

Answer 2

I think Hamilton has done one thing of inexperience, but in truth the group behind the Safety Car was already past, Hence the traffic light should not be at that moment.

Bye!

Answer 3

It spoilt what was looking to be a good race, Hamilton will take a huge amount of flak for a bit.

That's F1 for you, from Hero to Zero, from the sublime to the ridiculous, everything can change in a split second.

Answer 4

Opens the already close championship fight well and truly wide open, great entertainment.

Answer 5

Hamilton didn't see the red light. Partly his team's fault. Same happened to Massa last year and he got the black flag. That red light at the end of the pitlane is rather inconspicuous. But he and the team should have known better. People get penalised (black flagged) all the time for ignoring the red light. It's a fundamental thing that a highly professional group of people should be able to remember and remind themselves of.

I have the feling that Lewis is going to cop a penalty - maybe a 10 place grid penalty for the next race.

Answer 6

Well it's a bit stupid that the pit lane is open but you can't leave it!  I think Hamilton was a bit flustered as both Kimi and Kubica were ahead of him, therefore he weren't expecting the pit lane to be closed.

It was lucky that Kimi has a cool temperament, as any other guy might have lamped him one

Answer 7

I'm sure his fekking British fans might be as naive as he is to still stick by him !

Answer 8

I believe its called ''Karma''.

Raikkonen retired the Force India car 2 weeks ago so he deserved it.

Answer 9

Hamiltons fault...driving error.  I would love to see Barracello win, he has had bad luck for a long time.

Answer 10

Thank you FIA.

Answer 11

Well, the Championship battle heats up with Kubica taking the lead. I dunno what's up with that Hamilton but Montreal's pit lane exit has always been one to catch the drivers. They have to pay close attention to the lights or risk disqualification like Massa and Montoya years ago. Hamilton made a major mistake. Full stop.

Kimi is a cool guy or else I'm sure there would've been a fistfight in the pitlane. Imagine if it were Montoya or Jacques Villeneuve he had hit

Answer 12

WAHOOO I'M SO HAPPY! Kubica might get first! Been a fan of him since he started! 1 year ago same track Kubica got in a terrbile crash people thought he died! WOW i LOVE this driver!  I wish good luck to him!

Answer 13

Think i'll switch over to the Football.

Answer 14

hamilton needs glasses

Answer 15

omg i detest formula one so i dont care-but my hubby is slamming doors right now as he asked my son to tape the race for him and he taped gladiators instead lol -hes not a happy bunny

Answer 16

truth2day schumacher did do it at Silverstone, I have photos to prove it. the British press did NOT crucify him.

Lewis made a mistake. The pit lane light should not have been red for so long, but saying that Lewis should have seen it. Nico hit Lewis too, so he wasn't the only one who mucked up.

BIG BIG respect to Kimi for that pat on the back.

Answer 17

Accidents happen. I think the pit open and closed situation is daft and makes what is a simple operation into one where you can get penalised or worse- As Lewis has demonstrated.

Silly mistake, i'm sure Kimi agreed as much- hence the sporting pack on the back.

I was annoyed but i've been rooting for Kubica all weekend, good luck to the Pole!

Answer 18

Hamilton totally at fault. Amateurish error. If it had been Schumacher the british media would want him banned for a year. Be interesting how they play it down.

Answer 19

Wonder if ESPN will blaster a big headline like they do when Hamiliton wins a race?  Hamilton has talent but he doesn't have the maturity yet to win a world championship.  If you want to disagree please watch Hamilton running into stopped cars or his brilliant pit entrance in China last year.

Answer 20

well all i can say it forget the pass and move on !
