Ah, but Kimi did NOT squeeze Hamilton off as Hamilton (by virtue of linear distances travelled on the inside and outside lines) was too far behind. Pushing someone off when they are alongside is unfair (which is, I believe, what I said at the time), but squeezing at a second apex is fine - how else do people defend overtakes round the outside?
Anti-karting nonsense? Not at all. The fact is all karters want to get out of karts as soon as the humanly can, and not one person has jumped straight from karts to a decent attempt (or even quarter-decent) at F1, suggesting that more is learnt in the lower formulae than in karting.
Alan, when do you race? I'd love to see how your doing in your championship, or last years championship etc. You said the other day "I do this all the time", indicating you are currently fighting for a championship. But I also get the impression you haven't raced competitively for about 5 years, and even then you sucked so now you just help out at an arrive-and-drive center. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Edit That sounds like a reasonale viewpoint Sinbad. It is a close call, and certainly not 100% black and white. I sit on one side of the fence, you on the other, but there isn't a vast amount of distance between us (on either side of the fence). But I do get annoyed about those that won't even accept anything in favour of Lewis' punishment - those that suggest he gained no advantage whatsoever from cutting the corner, which is what the penalty was given for.
