On seeing the replay, I think it will be harsh if Lewis gets a penalty. Massa knew he was there, you could see him tracking LH in his mirrors before LH made the move. He assumed LH would back out of it given the type of corner, LH was far enough along side to legitimately have a claim too.

Lewis's fault definitely. He was nowhere near close enough, and he had completely the wrong line to overtake.

I'm not sure, but I kind of agree with that. You can barely make the corner by yourself with that "racing line."
 
Youch, Not sure who could be blamed for that, Massa could've gone wider but the corner wasn't Hamiltons. I'm thinking investigation after the race.

Lewis 'I crash a lot' Hamilton does it again. Tries to go up the inside of Massa and hit him.

What images do you have?! As far as I've seen, LH had the line and Massa saw it - yet he still turned in way too hard?

Couldn't agree with you more. 👍

Massa on fault here on my view.

He should have look at his mirror before decide to close the door.

He was in his blindspot apparantly.
 
50/50 for me too.

Drive through for Massa.?????
 
Massa gets a drive through. Interesting.
 
Massa gets the penalty!
 
Rowan Atkinson = legend.
 
Drive through for Massa. Finally some sense from the stewards.
 
Gasp! Hamilton is NOT the cause of the incident :eek: Mind you, he is now racing Alguersuari :lol:
 
Déjà vu from Monza?

Hah. Drive Through for Massa.
 
Massa is now 7th with Hamilton 8th. I'm going to get some popcorn.

I think he didn't even look at his side mirror but yeah, he got the penalty and guess what, Massa v.s Hamilton again. :D
 
Nice job by the stewards. No way that Massa didn't know LH was there :)
 
Massa in the pit for tires.

Wouldn't that front wing flex be classed as a movable front wing?

Front left suspension issue for massa.

The Hamilton Curse.​
 
Whats the point of giving Massa only a drive through? Surely the point should be to penalize him and place him behind Lewis? Now (well he's pitted now) he's in front of him again and surely the same thing is going to occur?
 
In other news, Petrov got 30 laps out of his softs, just pitted for another set of softs. (pitted at the start from hards).

*Wants to believe he can pull 3rd* lol
 
Meanwhile, Petrov considers moving to a drifting series...
 
Hmmmmmm. Massa pits to get rid of bendy wing. Aaand his suspension is damaged. He's retired. On a kerb again.
 
Sigh. Suspension brokon on Massa's car. :(

Seriously, kerb again?

Good for Mercedes, though. They can score some really good points this race.
 
Curbs hatin' on Massa again. :lol:
 
Broken suspension for Massa again.
 
Massa's day is finally complete, and it's his own bloody fault again. I'd have thought he would have worked out that the orange bit after the kerb is not to be driven on. It's time Massa called it a day. It's embarrassing watching him drive these days.
