yes, F1 is dangerous.....but in that cars are still people, not robots and Lewis doesn´t seem to accept this. I understand that he is really brave and that´s why he drives like that but also he shows no respect to other drivers when he overtakes.

I reccomend you to look how for example Nico Rosberg overtakes. That´s what I mean when I am talking about respect Wink

i wonder if McLaren are going to organize some kinda celebration for Heikki like a bit what Renault did Last Year. And quite want to know even if Ferrari are keen enough to Celebrate Kimi's Birthday this year?

Yeah, my eye also see that Heikki forced Kimi out. but i thought that was just normal pushing, no problem. also Kimi said that Heikki hit him harder. haha. so it was quite strange that Lewis penalised with the corner 1. when it was told that there is an investigation on car-2 & 22 i thought that is just about the Massa & Lewis situation.

so you want a nice procession then with a 2 hour long drivers parade Wink

nah, i know what you mean. but i think people confuse exuberance with arrogance/lack of respect.

lots of people had a bone to pick with schumacher and his approach to overtaking, ie: do or die. and alot of drivers in the past have had that same spirit to attack constantly, like prost, senna and alesi.

i think lewis has maximum respect for other drivers, thats why he pushes 100% in his races, because he knows he is up against world class drivers and they deserve the best competition Very Happy

It said 'incidents' involving cars 2 and 22, so it was both. My dad spotted that.

I don´t agree with you but I understand what you mean....that´s OK. I don´t like Lewis, you do. Why not Smile

Right, I watched it again today before deleting it because we're running out of room... I was discussing this with a friend who said that Lewis was wrong pushed him out and then Heikki was being cheeky not letting him back in. But I disagree.
Lewis pushed Kimi off line when he went wide himself... But Heikki pushed Kimi out wide and off the track.
Unless I know less about F1 than I thought I did I wasn't sure there was a rule against making someone else have to take a different line if they're behind you, or squeezing them on to a different line because you're overtaking... Especially in the first corner.
So Heikki was in the wrong.
