Well I'm not convinced thats an advantage gained because there was no gap between them when Hamilton had to cut the corner to avoid the collision. Also, look at the footage again, how long is Hamilton in Raikonen's slipstream for exactly? It's a small fraction of a second, because Raikonen weaves out of the way. There was no way Raikonen was going to keep that position despite all his efforts. You also have to consider that the 25 second penalty was applied after the race. So the stewards knew that the driver who arguably lost out (Raikonen) didn't even finish the race through his own error. So applying that penalty only benefits Masa and Heidfeld who had absolutely nothing to do with the incident. Terrible decision, and completely not justified.

Nothing against Felipe Massa as an individual, but this is part of why I will always maintain that championship had the right outcome. There was no 'wait one corner' rule at that time, Hamilton retook the lead immediately but the fact is he let Raikkonen back through, note that the commentators never even speculated he'd be in any trouble. Absolute farce of a penalty and would not have been given if Massa wasn't there.
I was at the track (Pouhon corner) surrounded by Kimi and Ferrari fans. If you think the emotions was rollercoaster on tv… Some of us could see the clouds coming in and as soon as it started to drizzle, the Ferrari fans just knew what was coming next. Without the rain Hamilton would have lost (the stolen win) by about 10-12 seconds. That Ferrari was a monster
This is painful because maFIA stole this win from Lewis and gave him enough time penalty to lose the win. Besides finding him guilty they introduced a new rule to make sure it didn't happen again. Very very dodgy.
@@erminiopreziosi1967he pushed kimi?? Kiki pushed him off by braking too late and locking up even though Lewis was ahead he forced him off. Lewis gave back the position but it was clear that he was so much faster so he could just take it back because he had better grip or at least more confidence

Times when the FIA meant Ferrari International Assistance. Very poor decision to give Hamilton 25-seconds time penalty after that. The rules back then stated that if you overtake a car off the track you have to give the place back immediately, which Hamilton did in this case, but nothing was said about overtaking right after you gave the place back. So Hamilton complied with the rules and overtook Raikkonen again. Plus before that Hamilton was alongside, then Kimi forced him off the track and Hamilton had nowhere to go so he cut the corner. Gave the place back, as stated in the rulebook, and overtook him back again. Unfair.
Actually Hamilton didn't comply with the rules, if you want an example watch sazuka 2005, Alonso did the exact same thing going past Klien, A few laps later he had to slow so much to let Klien back through properly that those watching thought he was out of the race
@@daniellinanmolina1044 Remember, Lewis was forced off the circuit, he didn't actively choose to cut the chicane. He immediately relinquished that advantage gained and allowed Kimi to overtake him - the data showed that as they crossed the line, Lewis was travelling slower than his competitor. What was the issue was that there was an 'unwritten rule' that you should wait until the next corner to try again, but how can you enforce a rule which doesn't exist? Simple, you make it up after the race has finished and slap a penalty which couldn't be taken.
Hamilton can only blame himself for this, he never gave back the advantage he gained and he never would have been in a position to overtake Kimi on the start-finish straight if he didn't cut the chicane.
Penalty was harsh intentionally to put distance between him and Massa and tighten up the title race. If you consider how close LH and FM were at the end of the penultimate lap and then see how long it is before Massa crosses the finish line, you see what a great job Hamilton does in wet conditions.
There was no such thing as a 5 second penalty back then, it was like 20-25 seconds minimum I think. That's why Schumacher got what seemed like a harsh 20 seconds penalty for overtaking Alonso at Rascasse in Monaco 2010, but that was the minimum time penalty they could give him.
That was one of Lewis’s most epic wins ... only to be taken away later on ... to me it’s good enough to register it as win number 5 of that year’s all drivers log ... unfortunately it’s not in his official standings 😑
@@FluppiLP People usually make fun of lewis and calls him ferrari's last drivers champion cuz of spy gate. maybe the driver really makes all the difference. heikki kovalainen in the mclaren was spinning like a top even at silverstone. same car.
Best laps I've ever seen by two great drivers. Then the FIA stepped in to help Ferrari/Massa = worst fiddling of a result ever. Today Kimi would have got the penalty.
@@FFmybest Mechanical failures are part of motorsport. No one's outraged when a driver loses a championship due to poor reliability. Races/championships decided by dodgy desicions made by people sat in the race control room is what transforms the sport into a farce. Senna and Hamilton were sadly victims of that in 1989 and 2021. As for crashgate, it wasn't the first first time a driver crashed on purpose; Nelson Piquet was, however, the *first one* to admit it.
@Euclides287 Hamilton only got a slight chance because he was helped during the whole season (like 10 sec penalty for kicking out someone). Yes, Masi fucked up the organisation of the last race, but Hamilton shouldn't have even had a chance. Senna's case was completely different and made no sense, he was disqualified because he "cut" the track, after the collision, despite he lost like a minute, so clearly he didn't gain any advantage. Regarding 2008, I'm not trying to say Massa was better than Hamilton, but without the technical DNFs, it would have been a clear victory for him, and nobody ever would have argued on if he deserved it or not. But I also agree that Hamilton's penalty here didn't make much sense, since there was no rule made for how should you give back the position after going off the track.
@@AJzilllaProthe sound of those engines were just incredible. I used to frequent Spa and it didn’t matter where you were at the circuit, that noise would reverberate around the whole track and then when they got closer to where you were the screaming noise would have an almost visceral effect on just about every molecule in your body. And that’s without mentioning the Honda engines in Jensen and Rubens car which made you literally vibrate as they went past.
Amazing win by Hamilton just like Silverstone, outclassed the field . I remember this race like it was yesterday and the injustice done there, Kimi was done and hamilton gave the place back then he crashed out anyway, he literally destroyed the field with massa like 20-30 seconds back . Fixed to bring Massa back into play
Had Hamilton not cut the chicane he would have been nowhere near to be able to overtake Kimi on the main straight, yet that is where he overtook him. Massive advantage gained by cutting the chicane, Hamilton can only blame himself for the time penalty. A smarter driver would have waited and overtake after the first corner.
raikkonen is the driver with the record of longest time between first and last won gp, he is not only one of the greatest drivers on f1 history but also better than hamilton, by a mile.
@KCrucis Kimi won a title by chance, from then on he was run over by Hamilton and Vettel. Lotus had to forbid Grosjean to won over him. Against Vettel he won 1 race in 4 seasons while Vettel won 15 races. He was beat by Massa as team mates in 2008.
Kimi did more then one defence manoeuvre on the main straight, nothing mentioned 🤔. Look at 3.11 kimi goes wide and gains a lot of momentum in doing so getting up to Lewis, isn’t That gaining an advantage? Oh I forgot kimi is driving a red car 🙄
@Mo Elm mostly of the times there is a driver in stewards and he has to put himself a driver vision for the 2 guys involved, so yes sometimes there is interpretation and different outcomes
@Mo Elm if you think the stewards are robots Yeah there is no interpretation. But whatever you say don't changes the fact that are humans who take this decisions and, yes they will interpret
What the hell are tou talking about, in 07 Mclaren couldn't handle their drivers and had a serious affair of stolen documents. It's like saying that Vettel won is first title because Renault being engine partnership send Petrov to block Alonso and Webber.
from 2006 the f1 was extremely rigged in favor of hamilton by pressure of the british press, shit like hamilton being the 5th out of the circuit cause of rain and the crew not only rescuing him, but putting him back on track with him inside, which is illegal.
Wasn't robbed. Are you seriously claiming Hamilton would have been in a position to overtake Kimi on the start-finish straight if he had not cut the chicane? Yet that is where Hamilton overtook because he gained massive advantage by cutting the chicane. He never gave back that advantage and can only blame himself for the penalty incurred.
@@avinash_8723 yeah but is funny that ppl are comparing this action with verstappen’s on this one hamilton didn’t give the position back… on the other one verstappen gave the position back in the next lap…
cuando Raikkonen perdió la oportunidad de ser campeón otra vez y mas adelante Felipe Masa no podría lograr el campeonato , consiguiéndolo Lewis Hamilton a lo ultimo
I thought Lewis was robbed at the time, but looking back at it, the advantage he gained was very significant. It is not from the slipstream per se. If he had slowed to make the chicane, then his momentum would have been lost and he would not have been in a position to be in the slipstream at all. He would not have been anywhere near Kimi. There is simply no way the pass at La Source could have taken place without his cutting at the Bus Stop. He could have simply backed out of it and made the chicane, the evasive cut of the entire chicane was not necessary to avoid a collision. This can be seen at 1:52. He could have either made a quick juke to the left or just backed out of it entirely. Either move would have put him back through the chicane as he should have done. Cutting it entirely set up the move at La Source in a way that either of those would not have, however. All these years later, I think they got it right.
right but isn't that why he promptly gave the place back? this is a very ambiguous situation but if i recall, there was no rule stating that after giving the place back, you cannot repass until x amount of time/corner(s) or, give the place back and set yourself up for an overtake (slipstream).
The argument massi used was “you don’t see overtakes there” I’d counter that and say that with dry tyres on a wet track you see overtakes in places you’d never see normally.
Raikkonen ran him out of room when they were side by side at the Bus Stop; if KR takes the type of line he did when they were battling at Monza '18, odds are Hamilton's through. LH lost momentum on a straight and Raikkonen got back through, under the rules at that time Hamilton did nothing wrong. Your original instincts were correct.
And pathetic that the result was changed to such a classic finish. At the end of the day kimi crashed out so there was no advantage. Very poor decision, similar to a certain 2021 race.
Had Hamilton not cut the chicane he would not have been able to overtake Kimi on the start-finish straight. It's irrelevant that Kimi later crashed out. Hamilton can only blame himself for the time penalty.
I remember being furious at the time but now watching it's a slam dunk penalty. They should have told him to hand back position. Can't get set up for an overtake by taking a short cut off track.
Nobody ever seems to notice how Glock pitted for tyres in this race, but not in Interlagos the same year. History could have been very different if he had learned from this race.
hamilton was ahead of glock. if glock had pitted, he would have just ended up following hamilton. glock's strategy of staying out actually gave him a few places hence it was the best and quickest strategy. the opposite is true. glock staying out is what would have potentially made massa world champion
The rule is clear: "If the pilot out, can't take advantage". Hamilton give the position, but he was taking a vacuum, he out and take advantage. Penalty is clear.
At least Hamilton got his revenge over Ferrari in 2019 in Canada with Vettel. As Raikkonen failed to finish the penalty should have been irrelevant or not worth looking into. Massa was nowhere near to winning this race.
I did that to Hamilton in Monaco cutting Turn 16, going wide at turn 17, giving back the position just to overtake again at the end of turn 17 and getting P2😂 in F12020 .. loved the justice
It wasn't about the place, had Hamilton not cut the chicane he would have been nowhere near to overtake Raikkonen on the main straight, which is where he overtook. He gained massively by cutting the chicane and can only blame himself for the time penalty he received. If Hamilton were smart, he would have waited and overtaken Raikkonen later. Hamilton lost the race all by himself.

Absolute farce of a penalty and would not have been given if Massa wasn't there.
Also Massa should have been penalized at Fuji and Valencia
@@Spyker8921 He was penalised in Fuji 2008
the roler coaster emotions in this video reminds me back to what happened in hockenheim 2018 with hamilton win over vettel
I was at the track (Pouhon corner) surrounded by Kimi and Ferrari fans. If you think the emotions was rollercoaster on tv…
Some of us could see the clouds coming in and as soon as it started to drizzle, the Ferrari fans just knew what was coming next. Without the rain Hamilton would have lost (the stolen win) by about 10-12 seconds. That Ferrari was a monster
No doubts Hamilton is a smart and great driver
This is painful because maFIA stole this win from Lewis and gave him enough time penalty to lose the win. Besides finding him guilty they introduced a new rule to make sure it didn't happen again. Very very dodgy.
Nono ham pushed Rai!!!!! Ham playing dirty as usual!!!! SO shut up!!!!!
@@erminiopreziosi1967 lol. Behave yourself
@@erminiopreziosi1967he pushed kimi?? Kiki pushed him off by braking too late and locking up even though Lewis was ahead he forced him off. Lewis gave back the position but it was clear that he was so much faster so he could just take it back because he had better grip or at least more confidence
my God the sounds of these cars is amazing
Here because Lewis told me

Really odd question here. Who is the commentator with the deeper voice? I didn't watch F1 during this time period as I was too young to even know about it but the highlights from this era are amazing! I keep hearing the guy with the deeper voice and he's pretty cool.

sir lewis hamilton is the greatest f1 champion of all time and we will not see another as good….cleanliness is next to godliness.
Verstappen is fantastic but I can’t respect him because of how little he respects other drivers, shown by his choice of driving style. I gave him the benefit of the doubt in his early years because he was a kid, but he still pushes people wide, divebombs, and complains like a baby. A crazy amount of pace and talent ruined by an idiotic personality.
@@willjackson6522totalement d'accord avec toi en tant que fan de lewis je peux pas nier que verstapen est un excellent pilote mais je ne peux pas le respecter en sachant qu'il ne respecte pas les autres pilotes surtout son coequipier Perez et pareil avec son style de pilotage comme vous l'avez dit un talent gaché par une personnalité stupide

Who’s back here after sochi 2021
Yeah that's one of the strangest ever penalties. MM Vs RD.
Here after saudi arabia gp
Same.
Times when the FIA meant Ferrari International Assistance. Very poor decision to give Hamilton 25-seconds time penalty after that. The rules back then stated that if you overtake a car off the track you have to give the place back immediately, which Hamilton did in this case, but nothing was said about overtaking right after you gave the place back. So Hamilton complied with the rules and overtook Raikkonen again. Plus before that Hamilton was alongside, then Kimi forced him off the track and Hamilton had nowhere to go so he cut the corner. Gave the place back, as stated in the rulebook, and overtook him back again. Unfair.
Actually Hamilton didn't comply with the rules, if you want an example watch sazuka 2005, Alonso did the exact same thing going past Klien, A few laps later he had to slow so much to let Klien back through properly that those watching thought he was out of the race
he gained an advantage off the track, as if he had remained on it, he would not have been able to overtake kimi then
The most ridiculous part is that Kimi crashed after it, no sense at all
@@daniellinanmolina1044 Remember, Lewis was forced off the circuit, he didn't actively choose to cut the chicane. He immediately relinquished that advantage gained and allowed Kimi to overtake him - the data showed that as they crossed the line, Lewis was travelling slower than his competitor. What was the issue was that there was an 'unwritten rule' that you should wait until the next corner to try again, but how can you enforce a rule which doesn't exist? Simple, you make it up after the race has finished and slap a penalty which couldn't be taken.
That penalty was the reason I stopped watching F1.. Never watched any F1 race after that.
so 2 wins taken away by FIA from Lewis
Hamilton can only blame himself for this, he never gave back the advantage he gained and he never would have been in a position to overtake Kimi on the start-finish straight if he didn't cut the chicane.
goodbye kimi. grazie di tutto
Who is here after the saudi gp?
Me
I am.
The penalty was really harsh. 25s way too much. Maybe a 5s could be argued as fair.
It made him tough, yes very tough however look at Lewis since then, he is going along nicely and can go drive for any worthy racing consortium.
Penalty was harsh intentionally to put distance between him and Massa and tighten up the title race.
If you consider how close LH and FM were at the end of the penultimate lap and then see how long it is before Massa crosses the finish line, you see what a great job Hamilton does in wet conditions.
There was no such thing as a 5 second penalty back then, it was like 20-25 seconds minimum I think. That's why Schumacher got what seemed like a harsh 20 seconds penalty for overtaking Alonso at Rascasse in Monaco 2010, but that was the minimum time penalty they could give him.
@@Beechaii2 No there was 10 second penalties. Schumacher got a 20 second penalty because salty damon hill was among the stewards.
@@silentnight1805 When was a 10 sec time penalty issued back then, do you have any examples? I can't recall any

Oh the sound!
good job in the water of Hamilton
Damn, I was right when I realized that Verstappen acts like young Ham. He’s really duking it out with Kimi.
That was one of Lewis’s most epic wins ... only to be taken away later on ... to me it’s good enough to register it as win number 5 of that year’s all drivers log ... unfortunately it’s not in his official standings 😑
The Ferrari was awful in the wet .in the dry raikkenon was flying

The Ferrari drivers were awful in the wet
Best laps I've ever seen by two great drivers. Then the FIA stepped in to help Ferrari/Massa = worst fiddling of a result ever. Today Kimi would have got the penalty.
And Massa almost went on to win the championship as a result of this gifted win.
@Euclides287 and probably he could have won still easily without the engine failure in Hungary, and the crashgate in Singapore.
@@FFmybest He made tons of mistakes. Didn't deserve it.
@@FFmybest Mechanical failures are part of motorsport. No one's outraged when a driver loses a championship due to poor reliability. Races/championships decided by dodgy desicions made by people sat in the race control room is what transforms the sport into a farce. Senna and Hamilton were sadly victims of that in 1989 and 2021. As for crashgate, it wasn't the first first time a driver crashed on purpose; Nelson Piquet was, however, the *first one* to admit it.
@Euclides287 Hamilton only got a slight chance because he was helped during the whole season (like 10 sec penalty for kicking out someone). Yes, Masi fucked up the organisation of the last race, but Hamilton shouldn't have even had a chance. Senna's case was completely different and made no sense, he was disqualified because he "cut" the track, after the collision, despite he lost like a minute, so clearly he didn't gain any advantage. Regarding 2008, I'm not trying to say Massa was better than Hamilton, but without the technical DNFs, it would have been a clear victory for him, and nobody ever would have argued on if he deserved it or not. But I also agree that Hamilton's penalty here didn't make much sense, since there was no rule made for how should you give back the position after going off the track.
Amazing how poor the Ferrari drivers were when it rained, Lewis was different gravy.
0:21 😮
15 ago today, mr Massa what's your opinion on this? Lol
I like kimi never say die attitude ❤
I miss the old V10's, they were incredible sounding engines.
This is V8.
@@sonicxdudex765 why do people like the old engines so much lol.I’m new to F1 so my opinion doesn’t really count but I don’t mind the new v6 engines.
The cars were more fun to watch. They “looked” faster because they were smaller.
@@AJzilllaProthe sound of those engines were just incredible. I used to frequent Spa and it didn’t matter where you were at the circuit, that noise would reverberate around the whole track and then when they got closer to where you were the screaming noise would have an almost visceral effect on just about every molecule in your body. And that’s without mentioning the Honda engines in Jensen and Rubens car which made you literally vibrate as they went past.
@@gregrowe1168the cars today look lazy and low energy in comparison
4:50 Same as yesterday in FP2
Bring back real F1 😢
Amazing win by Hamilton just like Silverstone, outclassed the field . I remember this race like it was yesterday and the injustice done there, Kimi was done and hamilton gave the place back then he crashed out anyway, he literally destroyed the field with massa like 20-30 seconds back . Fixed to bring Massa back into play
Had Hamilton not cut the chicane he would have been nowhere near to be able to overtake Kimi on the main straight, yet that is where he overtook him. Massive advantage gained by cutting the chicane, Hamilton can only blame himself for the time penalty. A smarter driver would have waited and overtake after the first corner.
Kimi always getting on the way. A rolling obstacle.
raikkonen is the driver with the record of longest time between first and last won gp, he is not only one of the greatest drivers on f1 history but also better than hamilton, by a mile.
@KCrucis
Kimi won a title by chance, from then on he was run over by Hamilton and Vettel. Lotus had to forbid Grosjean to won over him. Against Vettel he won 1 race in 4 seasons while Vettel won 15 races. He was beat by Massa as team mates in 2008.

The FIA definetly fuck hamilton over in this race.
Kimi pass him twice yet he was given a penalty.
3:24 what a save by kimi
FIA did everything in their power to make sure Hamilton did not win the F1 title in 2007, and they tired again in 2008 eg penalties!
Kimi did more then one defence manoeuvre on the main straight, nothing mentioned 🤔.
Look at 3.11 kimi goes wide and gains a lot of momentum in doing so getting up to Lewis, isn’t That gaining an advantage?
Oh I forgot kimi is driving a red car 🙄
Yea the penalty to Hamilton was completely ridiculous. They didn't want the Ferrari drivers to lose.
@@mclarensaleenf7 It was not ridiculous, he cut the freaking corner. Learn F1. Then talk.
@Mo Elm different stewards differents outcomes thats why
@Mo Elm mostly of the times there is a driver in stewards and he has to put himself a driver vision for the 2 guys involved, so yes sometimes there is interpretation and different outcomes
@Mo Elm if you think the stewards are robots Yeah there is no interpretation. But whatever you say don't changes the fact that are humans who take this decisions and, yes they will interpret
POV youre here after Saudi '21
I love that even when Ferrari ran the FIA they couldn't steal another title in '08.
It wasn't even Ferraris call
Like McLaren who stole a whole car concept from Ferrari, but they were still unable to win the constructors' two seasons in a row.
@@FFmybest they didn't, only one individual had the documents.
fucked up the car development for kimi too in early season...
What the hell are tou talking about, in 07 Mclaren couldn't handle their drivers and had a serious affair of stolen documents.
It's like saying that Vettel won is first title because Renault being engine partnership send Petrov to block Alonso and Webber.
They had to overtake each other rather than wait for the next DRS zone
2023, this is still the best duo i ever seen in F1. Crofty wasnt even close for that.
And Massa has the AUDACITY to say the 2008 season was rigged. Lewis was robbed of a win in this race
from 2006
the f1 was extremely rigged in favor of hamilton by pressure of the british press, shit like hamilton being the 5th out of the circuit cause of rain and the crew not only rescuing him, but putting him back on track with him inside, which is illegal.
Wasn't robbed. Are you seriously claiming Hamilton would have been in a position to overtake Kimi on the start-finish straight if he had not cut the chicane? Yet that is where Hamilton overtook because he gained massive advantage by cutting the chicane. He never gave back that advantage and can only blame himself for the penalty incurred.
If Massa and Ferrari will try to protest against title I will point to this farce
1:55 literally the same as verstappen did 🤷🏼♂️
And verstappen gave him again the position in the next lap... what is your point?

We should’ve traded Lewis Canada 2019 win for this one
cuando Raikkonen perdió la oportunidad de ser campeón otra vez y mas adelante Felipe Masa no podría lograr el campeonato , consiguiéndolo Lewis Hamilton a lo ultimo
If only Räikkönen hadn't crashed, he would have had 5 consecutive wins at Spa...
I thought Lewis was robbed at the time, but looking back at it, the advantage he gained was very significant. It is not from the slipstream per se. If he had slowed to make the chicane, then his momentum would have been lost and he would not have been in a position to be in the slipstream at all. He would not have been anywhere near Kimi. There is simply no way the pass at La Source could have taken place without his cutting at the Bus Stop. He could have simply backed out of it and made the chicane, the evasive cut of the entire chicane was not necessary to avoid a collision. This can be seen at 1:52. He could have either made a quick juke to the left or just backed out of it entirely. Either move would have put him back through the chicane as he should have done. Cutting it entirely set up the move at La Source in a way that either of those would not have, however. All these years later, I think they got it right.
😂😂😂😂😂
right but isn't that why he promptly gave the place back? this is a very ambiguous situation but if i recall, there was no rule stating that after giving the place back, you cannot repass until x amount of time/corner(s) or, give the place back and set yourself up for an overtake (slipstream).
The argument massi used was “you don’t see overtakes there”
I’d counter that and say that with dry tyres on a wet track you see overtakes in places you’d never see normally.
Raikkonen ran him out of room when they were side by side at the Bus Stop; if KR takes the type of line he did when they were battling at Monza '18, odds are Hamilton's through. LH lost momentum on a straight and Raikkonen got back through, under the rules at that time Hamilton did nothing wrong. Your original instincts were correct.
Back when f1 was actually exciting.
Lewis was penalised for a daft technicality because of the chicane skip AND was demoted - is the world hapy with this?
And pathetic that the result was changed to such a classic finish. At the end of the day kimi crashed out so there was no advantage. Very poor decision, similar to a certain 2021 race.
Had Hamilton not cut the chicane he would not have been able to overtake Kimi on the start-finish straight. It's irrelevant that Kimi later crashed out. Hamilton can only blame himself for the time penalty.
Disgusting that Hamilton was robbed off this incredible win. 100% robbed off, despite giving the place back after being shoved off the track.
He gave the place back twice, the 2nd time at 3:20
ahhahaha stfu he pays for glock anyway in last gp to let him pass. but karma hits again -21 in abu dhabi
The real f1 here is now gone
I remember being furious at the time but now watching it's a slam dunk penalty. They should have told him to hand back position. Can't get set up for an overtake by taking a short cut off track.
25 seconds though?
@@oldschool8330 The regs were vague at the time. No set penaltys for certain offences. Does seem harsh compared to todays 5 second penaltys.
At least Coulthard didn't crash into Hamilton in a Red Bull

Nobody ever seems to notice how Glock pitted for tyres in this race, but not in Interlagos the same year. History could have been very different if he had learned from this race.
It wouldn't have been. If Timo pitted, Lewis would just be ahead of him without having to overtake
hamilton was ahead of glock. if glock had pitted, he would have just ended up following hamilton. glock's strategy of staying out actually gave him a few places hence it was the best and quickest strategy. the opposite is true. glock staying out is what would have potentially made massa world champion
What a reach
Are you dim? 😂
Wtf was that Williams doing lmao
The rule is clear: "If the pilot out, can't take advantage". Hamilton give the position, but he was taking a vacuum, he out and take advantage. Penalty is clear.
I disagree that he didn't give the position back, but even without that overtake he would have won anyway.
At least Hamilton got his revenge over Ferrari in 2019 in Canada with Vettel. As Raikkonen failed to finish the penalty should have been irrelevant or not worth looking into. Massa was nowhere near to winning this race.
He's been pissing on Ferrari ever since this.
Hardly revenge, Vettel blocked Hamilton and deserved the penalty.
@@ollieh98 vettel went off track and rejoined unsafely and absolutely deserved the penalty
I did that to Hamilton in Monaco cutting Turn 16, going wide at turn 17, giving back the position just to overtake again at the end of turn 17 and getting P2😂 in F12020 .. loved the justice
Ham would have been champion in 2007 had it not been for this in justice
this is f1
One of the worst penalties in the history of racing
Massa can suck one. Hamilton was unfamiliarly penalized. 15 seconds!? Even after giving the place back.
It wasn't about the place, had Hamilton not cut the chicane he would have been nowhere near to overtake Raikkonen on the main straight, which is where he overtook. He gained massively by cutting the chicane and can only blame himself for the time penalty he received. If Hamilton were smart, he would have waited and overtaken Raikkonen later. Hamilton lost the race all by himself.
massa shouldve stopped for inters
