The very reason I put money on him to get a podium finish, when he puts his mind to it that fella can really overtake.

Taken from the BBC site
The rules on fuel were changed by F1's governing body, the FIA, after a similar problem with Hamilton's car at the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix

vRS Carl:
Hamilton's pit crew need sacking. How the fcuk does someone manage to put too little fuel in.  :stupid:

It seems like McLaren are going for "fcuk up of the season" award.

driver rider:
Im gutted for hamilton....i think he'll drive with a  point to prove....i pray he keeps his head...

vRS Carl:
This makes interesting reading from one of Jenson Buttons team that manage his face ache profile. I've highlighted a particularly interesting bit


--- Quote from:  Anti-Lag --- Anti-Lag here. Well I was about to pen my own views on the weekend so far with a few insider revelations and insights but as I opened up the lap top I was greeted by an email that Lewis was under investigation for not making it back to scrutineering under his own power at the end of qualifying. So I held off for a while until all the news came in, I received many messages saying things don't look good and indeed a very glum Sam Michael was seen exiting a meeting with FIA stewards.

Sat here I was wondering how can McLaren have made just a stupid mistake, then I remembered that they have Martin Whitmarsh at the helm and it all became clear......Crystal clear. This team has a very, very strong chance to take this years championship, both constructors and driver's but the team are throwing it away with bodged pit shops, questionable strategy calls and odd calls all round. Both Jenson and Lewis have been given the sh*tty end of a silver and red stick at different times this season and right now it doesn't seem that they'll be given the shiny clean end any time soon.

Mclaren then applied the tried and tested Red Bull strategy of crying 'force majeure' with the hope that the FIA would fall for it and they could benefit from their pre-planned 'mistake'.

So there we were, debating what penalty would be applied, a 5 place grid drop? Hamilton's fastest lap removed? Or would the FIA completely exclude him from Q3? Because this was Hamilton and McLaren we all knew that a penalty was on the horizon even though at the last race in Bahrain a number of drivers pulled up at the end of qualifying because they ''were short on fuel and wouldn't make it back [to the pit lane] with enough fuel to give a sample'', now there were no investigations and no penalties were given, this was more than likely in the mindset of McLaren this weekend so they low fueled Lewis for his final run and what a run it was too, Lewis absolutely drove the wheels off his motor and took a very well deserved pole.

The news came in, the FIA had stripped Lewis and the team of their pole position, I wasn't surprised. Then as I read the statement I had to check my eyesight, no surely not, they can't have.....sh*t they have! Not only have the FIA stripped Lewis of his pole but they'd excluded him completely from qualifying and allowing him to start from the back of the grid!............BULLsh*t!

This is an utterly farcical decision and I want to know what the point of the rules are if they are so shoddily enforced. Last race the same thing happened TWICE and the FIA did sod all, this weekend ONE team does the same and they are handed a penalty and an extreme one at that.

It makes me think back to when Schumacher was dragged over broken glass after his now infamous move on Barrichello........wait a minute didn't Rosberg do the exact same thing TWICE in Bahrain? Yes he did and what did the FIA do to him? NOTHING!!! But they quite clearly insinuated that the drivers who were at fault during the two moves were the cars behind, hmmmm something is not right here.

Oh and while we're at it, what on God's green earth is the point of yet another one of the FIA's rules, you know the one, that's right, the 107% rule. I see that Narain is racing tomorrow so he must have got his HRT well within 107% of the fastest time.................Hmmmmm.

I suppose you could say that all of this is just my opinion as after all, opinions are like Arseholes, everybody has one.......It's just that FIA's one STINKS!
