did he really , his poll will be useless then , he will get a pen.
Could get his times excluded, sure David just said it happen to him in Monaco for the same reason.

Now give a fecking penalty to Hamilton and strip him off pole. Ferrari 1-2 on the grid for the race !
Seb seething.
Hamilton was on a timed lap anyway, doubt he gets a penalty. More interesting race if he does though
FFS you dont hide your hate do you, no praise for the fastest lap by over half a second.
If he gets a pen he will deserve it, like I said did not see the incident.
if they were both on timed laps how can he be slowing another car down?
he was not happy , but for what reason.
Well he was on a warm down lap basically but it was timed so really I doubt it's a penalty. You see it every race weekend, people notice more when it's a front runner doing it.
OK I see your point now , working and watching , means I missed some of it.
I can see at least one on here not being happy if Lewis is not stripped of his pole
Fixed
I have not seen a pole winning lap like that for a long time.
Just watched it and I agree with Eddie dont see anything for a penalty.
Veteran technical chief Pat Symonds isn't having suggestions of a Hamilton block either from Romain Grosjean:
"If he thinks that's blocking he's got a surprise coming on the A43 back to his hotel tonight!"
"I really don't think he's going to pick up a penalty for it," says Paul Di Resta when analaysing at the SkyPad the apparent 'block' Hamilton administered on Grosjean at the end of the first runs.
It certainly doesn't appear especially blatant as they approached and rounded the final corner of the lap.

Have to agree with that.Ted Kravitz suspects it'll be a while yet before the stewards deliver a verdict on Hamilton-Grosjean.
The stewards haven't even spoken to the drivers yet.
"They probably won't go up for another 10, 15 minutes and then there'll be deliberation and they'll look at all the traces," says Ted.
"We're probably not going to get an answer for another couple of hours yet, but I've seldom seen Toto Wolff so concerned that he's going to lose a pole. He went straight to the pit wall, while James Allison, James Vowles and Ron Meadows were all looking at the traces and exactly how close Hamilton got.
"A few bits of crucial information: it was at the end of Romain Grosjean's hot lap and Lewis was winding up for his hot lap. Haas think Grosjean lost three tenths of a second, but he did improve his time on his second run in Q3. He didn't improve his position, but he did improve his time."
My reading of this is that Wolff is expecting a grid drop, my view is that he was getting ready to start his flying lap and did not know Roman was hot on his tail, if he did hold him up, it was by accident , but if the FIA think he did then he will get then pen, he will have to take it.
If he does who is to blame ? Lewis for not looking in his mirrors or the team for not telling him on the radio Roman was coming behind him

NO FURTHER ACTION AGAINST LEWIS HAMILTON
His British GP pole position stands.
waiting for the fix posts

Yawn. You can't punish an english man on this track. We will be even better to try to beat him tomorrow.
Lewis is a great driver and a great cnut at the same time.
I agree on both counts , but really he did nothing worth a penalty.
Video of Hamilton Grosjean incident. From the video, looks to have been pretty lucky to have gotten away with it.
Ftfy.
Rain expected today.
Met Office saying 10% chance.
to me it looks like he was doing something to get ready for his flying lap, looked in the mirror saw Roman coming fast and thought OH Shit I better get out of the way.
Agreed he was lucky to get away with it.

Why the feck do they keep cutting to Webber's ugly mug when they are showing Hamilton's qualifying lap?
Who cares what Webber looks like, we want to see how Hamilton tackles the lap with expert commentary, we're only going to get 1 go at seeing it, ffs!
The director is a complete fecking idiot

Anyone knows some good stream for the race today? Don't have the usual access to TV with channel that usually covers F1.
20 years of Martins Grid walks on Sky now.
No Martin grid walk today, he has been taken ill.
My goodness.
that singing was dreadful.
Quite like Webber as a pundit.
Hope Martin Brundle is ok. I don't have Sky and the quality of broadcasting has gone massively down not having him on my TV anymore. Him, along with DC, Eddie and Humphrey was the best combination I can remember in about 20 years
Woody Harrelson, there's one for the "Can't believe you're trying to fecking interview me right now" file...
I agree , when they were all on BBC , that was the best for me.
