Formula One: Hamilton disqualified / concerns in Malaysia

Hammer message in the morning: Lewis Hamilton was subsequently excluded from Australian GP, because he allegedly lied to the stewards.

mclaren_aus So it looks like Hamilton has, and the McLaren lied well, as they have said that Trulli to overtake conscious. Rather, it was a fact that Hamilton deliberately slow and is moved aside so that Trulli was over. Apparently they did this at first out of the concern that Hamilton would collect a penalty because he was so overtaken Trulli, as this rumgondelte on the lawn. It was not until after the race is probably time had the idea to make things different. And so one starts with a conscious deception, carried out the McLaren to the FIA. McLaren again denies a lie, but put it like this: You've probably not heard his own point of view can make it clear enough.

As if the rubbish was not enough, there are still more concerned in Formula One. Not only because of the various protests, the statement of BrawnGP, one could even faster if need be, or otherwise, but if the weather in Malaysia. Because of rain the whole weekend is in order. And not the boring rain from Europe, but monsoon-like stuff. That's not so straightforward, because 750 + hp in the long curves make little fun. But it is really bad because of the light.

How on this photo can be seen from the last year in Monza, you actually see very little. Who has time came at dawn on the highway in a heavy downpour can imagine what one sees in a Formula One at 250 km / h: Nothing. Even at Monza, as it was middle of the day, you could see the rain is very little. If such low-lying clouds should show up at the weekend in Malaysia, then it is to start at 17.00 clock dark.

Worst case would be that it filled at 17.00 clock so that you can just run behind the safety car and complete the first 10 laps. After you drive 20 minutes, throw in the towel until the first team and the race is canceled. It would be logical that we brought forward the race just two hours. A start at 09.00 clock in the morning would be for Central Europe in order. But there is the problem that one would require all TV stations, a quick response. Satellite would have to be reclassified, reallocated the morning program, which filled up by midday, etc. All no little things that will certainly cost something.

I can understand the concerns of drivers but good. We see nothing in the spray already anyway, but if it is still dark then, is it really uncomfortable. You lose a lot of reaction time and how fast is sometimes a cross by the wayside?

Short Note: At some point during the day will show up the times of the live broadcast. Perhaps we are very lucky preview, have to see how the network is at the conference.

    What we have here is only meant for McLaren again? If the allegations are true really, they are even with the penalty well served.

    Apparently McLaren after the race has changed her mind. First you must have thought we would again allow Trulli to overtake then you probably thought that was not needed and wanted the place back then. Very clever. I can actually explain only sort of.
    Interesting details of McLaren: "at the time the team asked race control several times about the repass but they were too busy to answer"
    Sitting in this race organizers really just incompetent types? Is not the only contentious decision worthy of the weekend was ...

    When the weather forecast must be actually a bringing forward of the race, there must be the TV stations just adjust times. Sure, like anyone, but the safety of the driver should proceed there. And a race is stopped after a short time, because it is too uncertain, which adds even less.

    FOR THE OPERATIONS. Network here in Berlin: UMTS Only with luck, so tuts still not wireless.

    @ Tobi

    Those are just cheap diversion from McLaren. The whole point is to know that it has only slowed down to let Trulli back in front, and then just claimed Trulli had overtaken illegally.

    Where can be found in this action, the incompetent types might, ought to be quite clear.

    But why would they do that? What is the advantage he had obtained against the third Place of Hamilton? They have not won anything yet.
    To steal all that she only held by a competitor, the points for 4th place, I can not imagine

    I do not know what the actors have promised their action, and I think it's also not very important to understand this behavior.

    When I read the transcript of radio communications:

    Team: Lewis, you need to allow the Toyota through. Allow the Toyota through now.
    [...]
    LH: I let him past already.

    and then compare with the predictions of McLaren's last weekend:

    Trulli then re-took the place under the safety car, Which ordinarily you would not do so I know that the FIA ​​are looking at it at the moment and doubtless we'll have a ruling in due course.

    http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/74043

    [T] he Race Director questioned Lewis Hamilton and his Team Manager David Ryan specifically about Whether there had been at instruction given to Hamilton to allow Trulli to overtake.

    Both the driver and the Team Manager stated that no such instruction given had been. The Race Director specifically asked Hamilton had consciously allowed Trulli Whether he to overtake. Hamilton insisted that he had done not so.

    It is only logical that the steward come to their decision. I do not know how McLaren can claim under these circumstances, that was not lying on the last weekend. Any page of lies anyway.
