Jarno Trulli says he has no doubts that Lewis Hamilton did gain an advantage by cutting the chicane at the Belgian Grand Prix.

As the controversy rages over whether the race stewards were right to hand down a 25-second penalty for Hamilton's driving, Trulli thinks that the McLaren driver did benefit from missing out the final corner.

"In my opinion Hamilton got an advantage by cutting the chicane," Trulli told Gazzetta dello Sport. "Had he stayed on the road, he wouldn't have had the speed to overtake the Ferrari.

"In the same way at Monza someone could cut the first chicane, catch a rival's draft, and overtake him under braking at Roggia.

"When you attack on the outside, you do it at your own risk, because who's on the inside has the right to do the corner. If there isn't enough room, then you lift.

"Had there been a wall there, instead of the surfaced escape route, would Lewis have attacked anyway? Had there been gravel, he wouldn't have had the chance to attack when rejoining the track because of dirty tyres."

McLaren are due to decide today whether or not to press ahead with their plans to appeal Hamilton's penalty, which dropped him from first to third in the race results.



sad da li bolje zna jarno trulli ili mladen jergovic...
rekao je upravo ono sto sam ja rekao. da je tamo bio zid, ili zemlja, kuac bi hamilton forsirao...

evo sto massa kaze. bez obzira sto se tice njega, drugi paragraf je zanimljiv.

"What Lewis did is the sort of thing that can happen, but I think he was maybe a bit too optimistic in thinking he could just hand back the position, albeit only partially to Kimi and then immediately try and pass him again.

"Incidents like this have often been discussed in the official driver briefings when it has been made absolutely clear that anyone cutting a chicane has to fully restore the position and also any other eventual advantage gained.

"If Lewis had taken the chicane correctly, he would never have been able to pass Kimi on the very short straight that follows it. That was my immediate opinion after seeing the replay. Maybe if Lewis had waited and tried to pass on the next straight, that would have been a different matter."

Nakon gotovo dvodnevnog razmišljanja, McLaren je ipak odlučio uložiti žalbu na odluku sudaca.

"Nakon naše odluke o razmatranju ulaganja žalbe na sankciju određenu Lewisu Hamiltonu od strane FIA-inih sudaca na ovogodišnjem belgijskom Grand Prixu, potvrđujemo da smo uložili žalbu," potvrdio je McLarenov glavni izvršni direktor, Martin Whitmarsh.

Osim što je potvrdio ulaganje žalbe, Whitmarsh je otkrio vrlo zanimljivu informaciju koja dodaje još malo ulja na vatru.

"Sa pitwalla smo upitali kontrolu utrke da nam potvrde jesu li zadovoljni Lewisovim propuštanjem Kimija, a oni su nam dvaput potvrdili kako vjeruju da je pozicija vraćena na dobar način," rekao je Whitmarsh. "Da je kontrola utrke u tom trenutku, umjesto potvrde, izrazila zabrinutost glede Lewisovih radnji, Lewisa bismo obavijestili da propusti Kimija po drugi put."

Zašto se povlače polemike oko ovog nije spornost tog trenutka nego odluka da nakon utrke naprave takav potez, da je kojim slučajem Massa bio 30+ sekundi iza ja baš i ne vjerujem da bi kaznili Hamiltona.

hamiltona treba kazniti jer je antipatičan!

Ferrari i Kimi Raikkonen obnovili su ugovor i produžili svoje partnerstvo do kraja sezone 2010.

U pismenoj objavi, Ferrari momčad je okončala cijeli niz glasina o mogućem odlasku aktualnog svjetskog prvaka iz Formule 1 i dolasku bivšeg dvostrukog svjetskog prvaka, Fernanda Alonsa, u momčad.

"Ferrari objavljuje da je produžio sporazum s Kimijem Raikkonenom do kraja sezone 2010. Stoga, vozačka postava Scuderije Ferrari Marlboro ostaje nepromijenjena za iduće dvije sezone."
