I've just been reading the French blogs on Eurosport and more than 99 percent of fans say Lewis should consider NASCAR or INDYCAR. Ron should also seriously consider that.

You obviously dont watch racing, if there had been a wall, Kimi would not have pulled that move cos I can assure you lewis would rather have taken both of them out than go into a wall.

Don't mention walls and Kimi in the same sentance. It upsets him.

It is clear that if Lewis had waited to pass at the second corner then the Stewards would have CLARIFIED the rule as drivers have to pass at the third corner. And if Lewis' lead was 26 seconds then he would have been slammed with a 35 seconds penalty.

-------------------

Im sure you realise that the 25 second penalty is the only punishment that they could have given him, had they decided there was an offence.

And no matter what anyone says, there was clearly an offence according to the rules. Only English fans dont seem to see this!

He should just get an independent panel to rule on it and they'll just award in his favour!

Why is the appeal inadmissable? Surely this gives the FIA licence to rule how they like if the penalty is a drive thru?

I just can't understand these Italians:

Does an appeal being inadmissible not imply that the panel can't hear it? Then why did they waste all the time and resources to hear it and examine people etc and then say "actually, we can't hear this appeal"

Also, I thought the drive through penalty could not be appealed because the penalised driver would have served it "during" the race and the panel can't change the results? Then how come a drive through penalty is now given "after" the race and the same rule of can't appeal it is upheld?

Are these guys in their right minds? Well, I guess nobody forces me to watch F1.

I think that the FIA are perverse - not only "Mad Max"- but the whole bloody lot !
They are biased toward Ferrari, certainly over the past 15 years. As to the the latest farce,
just imagine that Kovalainen ist in the lead, forces Massa off the track to take a short cut
and Massa must then get in behind him - but coming up fast is LH - can LH overtake both to go in the lead or must he also wait for Massa to retake the lead ? in othe words what if more than one driver has the chance to win but had nothing to do with the affair ??
In my opinion LH won that race fair & square, the loser is the F1.
