But he knows the rules he should have done it straight away everyone else knows to do this he just thought he got away with it. Least he will understand the rulebook better next time.

But he thought he had gave it back. No-one even mentioned it until after the race. No-one thought it would be under investigation!Comment

LH has an arrogant streak I think, which pulls him down at times. The 'red light' incident and the way he claimed he did nothing wrong is evidence enough of this. He's young and full of it, which is good in a racer but he will learn in time I suppose.Comment

He just needs to back off abit. I dont consider him in the same league as Shummy but for me he went thru the same very arrogant streak and it wasnt until the FIA said enough is enough and ripped him of his points that he came back changed and I warmed to him after that and I bloody detested Shummy in his early days for what happened with Hill now hes my alltime fave driver.
Lewis will know in his own mind he didnt back off enough for the time he gained but hes just so damn arrogant he thinks he can get away with it. Every team and driver knows you must back off if you cut a chicane or you can even be black flagged for it.
It shouldnt suprise him he shouldnt need the stewards to do the investigation its an instant thing to back off as the longer you leave it the harder it is to judge and the stiffer the penalty. You could be 10laps behind someonne cut a corner and be off infront and gaining 10seconds in 5 laps ahead of em for not letting em back thru and trying again as its much harder to overtake someone than being behind them, each lap is crucial so drivers are told to back off and let em back in front properly straight away or they will be penalised for it.
Hes had a few run ins now this year alone and hes not making many friends by even being so cocky and keeping the rest of the drivers waiting on the parade wagon. If hes not carefull they will make an example of him like Shummy.Comment

Wonder when the FIA will hear the appeal, guess it could be a few weeks which will put us pretty close to the end of the season. If it is tied on points come the end of the year, the champion will be determined on the number of wins this year, currently Massa has five to Hamilton's four.
Hard to see Ferrari not being very quick at Monza, about time they sorted themselves out properly and pinned a one-two on the board. Can't see Kimi giving much help to Massa though.Comment

Monza will test the Ferrari engine, so let's hope it is reliable enough to withstand the hammering it is going to get.
In regards the championship, I think Hamilton has this year tied up to be honest - Massa isn't his equal in my opinion, and Raikkonen looks to be too far back.Comment

Been a wet first practice, not had a wet race at Monza for ages.
It's been announced McLaren's Spa appeal will be heard on Monday 22nd September.
Kimi & Massa have had their Ferrari contracts extended until the end of 2010. Bit surprised at that, but pleased for Massa.

So this is going past the FIA and to some higher court or something? I don't understand it fully.
Id like another wet race, LH seems to handle them well and had Kimi in his pocket last weekend in the rain anyway!Comment

Let's just hope Raikkonen's contract can be broken to allow Alonso into his seat

Alonso at Ferrari? Will that happen? Even more reason to hate Ferrari! Bring it on!!Comment
-
Raikkonen's contract with Ferrari has just been extended to the end of 2010, unlikely they'd break it unless Kimi completely loses interest I'd say.Comment

What like he has done for half this season. He must be laughing all the way to the bank.Comment
-
FA to BMW then. It will happen as I doubt he wants to spend another two years in the wilderness waiting on a possible Ferrari seat.Comment

Yay! My tickets for the Japanese GP have been shipped. Can't wait! Think I may do a few laps around the Fuji Speedway in GT5 later
