Can anyone remember the last time a SC wasn't called with a car stranded on track (almost the middle of it)?

Not off the top of my head.

The split second he started to get out of it I went "safety car, this is going to Lewis' day".

Then when I saw the Marshalls running across the track I didn't quite believe it.

'do you really think that you know better than Lewis Hamilton? are you serious???'

I love it when people come out with stuff like this. I am not allowed to criticise in any way because I am not an F1 driver. The fact is it was a mistake, it resulted in a collision, and it was clumsy. It is not often that we see F1 drivers applying steering lock while the front tyres are locked solid because it is going to be fractionally harder to unlock the wheels if they aren't pointing in a straight line.

You can criticise and I can disagree.

Yes they are going to be harder to unlock and as I said, he has strayed the wrong side of a very precarious line due to the narrowing gap that he had got into. What I find ridiculous is that you seem to think everyone who didn't do this was driving without mistakes and hence perfectly. I don't think there were many perfect laps executed this weekend - but then I guess they hadn't been to your race school. When drivers are pushing boundaries, st happens always has and always will. I guess some people would rather they drove at 8/10ths.

Let's not forget he overtook two cars in that one move.... The clumsy fool

[Jasandjules]

The other thing to bear in mind is that he was risking it all to get the overtakes done, despite the fact that he really needed to ensure he didn't get a DNF. THAT was some impressive racing. He could have sat there and waited for clear runs each lap, but instead he took a gap and went for it...

Really who writes that st?

Considering some restaurant owner in france managed to sue some random blog writer for giving them a bad review makes you wonder what the FIAs legal team could do.

It's a satirical news website, a bit like the Daily Mash, no need to get so worked up.

There's satire and there's making up stories that people are dead.

Satire is funny. That isn't.

I agree. The Onion is satire. The daily mash is satire. Private eye is satire.

I must have missed the funny bit of that article. It just looks like a headline grabbing feed to drive traffic to their site.

Wtf? If it is supposed to be satire / 'funny' then it has completely missed the mark. It is just plain weird.

It's just lies. No news, no satire. Just random made up articles.

Perhaps Hamilton is paraphrasing Shakespeare:

Brutus said:

There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune . . . and we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

If there's a gap, go for it is what Brutus reckoned.

Paraphrasing The Bard? No he's not.... it's the yellow helmet connection.

He should, you think, drive cautiously, like all those other entertaining drivers?

OK .. I can play the I think, you think game.

I now think you think motor racing is only entertaining with crashes and worst.

You're accusing Derek of only liking Motorsport when people are hurt and killed? Good form Johnnyboy.
