frogstar.. I know what you mean. Even the swear filter doesn't work equally. The letters E R A & S have (in a re-arranged order) got through by certain posters, yet get filtered out (or rather, blocks us from posting) in a Copy & Paste response.

I'll be quiet now, criticism is not welcomed here!

Red_Dragon_Spirit, haha. Almost 2 hours now and my post apparently is still being decided on! thefrogstar, I know what you mean as well. I referenced the article from the BBCs own F1 pages, named it, directly quoted Ted Kravitz and I'm still being checked!

I have just worked out what gets your comments removed. You mustn't mention by name the two familiar personalities representing the FIA and F1. On 2nd April I posted notice of today's meeting and mentioned that they were on the panel of WSMC. My very accurate posting was duly removed.

My posting was:
'The culprits are being referred to the World Motor Sports Council for possible further sanctions. WMSC: President ****, F1 representative ****.
Need I say more?'

Can anybody tell me why the question of whether Hamilton was instructed to give way or not was ever asked by the stewards in the first place, and what relevance it had on the question of whether Hamilton was permitted to overtake Trulli in the first place?

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

Fairfax, I guess it's generic questioning when passes under yellows occur. Get both sides of the story type of thing. Thats why it would have been asked.

As for the relevance to Hamilton passing Trulli initially it's down to Hamilton and McLaren being unsure as to whether they were allowed to keep the place they had gained.

Its rather annoying when as a poster you emulate the BBC (amongst others) journalistic style, i.e using quotes, reporting others commentries etc. I also find it amusing/frustrating that the BBC broadcast tv and radio in at least 3 native (Ok maybe only 2 are native) languages of the UK, yet when those languages are used here they get pulled! Apparently you have to mark them! Yet there's no direction on what "mark" actually means!!!

Lets face it when you at the top of any sport or business then you are going to be the target and people will try and knock you off. But you have admire what McLaren's acheivments and History even if you are a Ferrari fan.

Would Ferrari be racing today if they had been punished like Mclaren for all the cheating and bending of rules they made or would that have offended Berni Ecclestone

thank god for that. the FIA are actually making some good decisions. i think it's fair. mclaren apoligised and sacked the person responsible. fair enough. personally, i think the biggest loser is ron dennis.

Done and dusted. Let's get on with what we all appear to enjoy - the racing. We can all surmise, interpret the facts and listen to those "who know" but at the end of the day will we ever know what is said behind closed doors. Even Bernie and Max were at variance when interviewed after the Hearing. And just a thought, when Bernie was interviewed on the BBC recently it seems we were led to believe that all would be well for McLaren. So smacked wrists, lots of head hanging but a result that will hopefully keep F1 in the limelight for the right reasons - exciting racing and great teams. Let's try and forget the personality clashes that hover in the background between the FIA and the Teams. I guess that at the end of the day Bernie cannot rule with an iron hand as and when he pleases. Let him do what he is, or has been, best at - promoting F1 for the good of all.
