Alonso wanted to cut Hamilton's tyre?

More interesting stuff from Savards blog:

The stewards’ decisions are interesting for two reasons. The decision made against Alonso was the result of "a report from the Race Director”. The Stewards considered the evidence, determined that a breach of the regulations has been commited by Alonso when he caused a collision with Hamilton. That was simple enough.

In the case of Hamilton there was no mention of any report from Race Director Charlie Whiting, which means that the Stewards were probably acting because of a complaint from Ferrari as Whiting obviously did not think anything had been done wrong.

lol...the decision against both of them was a total Farce,race incident with more than enough punishment for Alonso in the broken front wing.

hamilton braked

I doubt that. They wouldn't have punished Alonso if that were the case. The stewards do read the telemetry you know

At first I thought the Joe Saward comment was ironic but having read the full article I'm sure it was simply a case of the stewards & Charlie Whiting doing their humble best to preserve a level playing field.
(a) Ferrari lodges a complaint re. a Hamilton manoeuvre. Stewards, not seemingly involving Charlie Whiting, agree and LH is penalised.
(b) Alonso touches Hamilton resulting in his losing any advantage he may have gained from LH's penalty but, nonetheless, Charlie Whiting, acting in a spirit of fairness (no matter what) decided after the race to report FA to the stewards who, also in a spirit of fairness, give him a similar penalty.

Result: everyone gets punished - everyone's happy. What could be fairer than that?

Sometimes I wonder why I watch this sport.

I can never understand the mentality of the press, the so called sports writers! There seems to be an out and out effort to put Lewis at the top of the page whatever he does. Even in 2009 when Jensen was on a very big chamionship roll, it always seems to be Lewis that gets preferential treatment.

In truth Fernando was probably so p##### off he could has done a Webber and gone over the top!!!!!

The most funny thing about Sawards blog (and the only reason why i have a look there from time to time) is when he answers to blog comments in a desperate try to justify his wild theories. I remember one time when wrote a comment (having a different oppinion than him) and his answer was : 'if you don't like my blog don't read it!' now what kind of an answer is that???

I posted comments on James Allens blog many times and he never had a problem with me. He always published them as well.

Saward takes it very personal when you have a different oppinion.

He surely can't have been serious?

Two words:


FACE PALM.

This. The guy has become a joke.
Besides, this is not the first time he reports/suggests something completely implausible and ridiculous (hardly ever correct though!). I suppose his blog needed more clicks.
