Lewis and Mclaren have been given a three race suspension
World Champion Lewis Hamilton and his team Mclaren have been suspended for three races following “lie gate” and the incident between Trulli and Hamilton in the closing laps of the Australian GP.
Hamilton fully deserves to be suspended. His actions are totally unbefitting a World Champion and his recent questioning his place in Formula One makes me personally, sick and angry and embarrassed for the sport. In my opinion, he will not be missed on the grid.
Who I feel has been really wronged here, is Heikki Kovalainen. While having a rather mediocre career so far, the finn certainly has moments of brilliance in the car and because Mclaren have been banned, the innocent go down with the guilty and Kovalainen will sit on the sidelines with his teammate, Hamilton. Too bad. If I was Heikki, I’d be talking to Renault who need to oust Nelson Piquet who has to date, finished somewhere around 38% of the Grand Prix starts he has made.
Don't feel bad for Lewis or Mclaren, Feel sorry for Heikki.
Jenson Button braved heat and burning flesh to take the win in Bahrain in round four of the 2009 Formula One World Championship. Vettel remains a strong contender for the title taking second place.
Ferrari scored their first points of the season but continue to have KERS reliability issues. Massa’s race was ruined early when he had KERS malfunction and his strategy ruined.
Photos from the race will be on motorsportf1media.org by the end of the day with a download link to go with it.
