No, its in your Hamilton lovers world where he can do anything with just a warning.

It's really easy to follow the car in front, Petrov had no difficulties in getting close. The only real difference between that time and the time where Petrov managed to re-overtake Hamilton was, that Hamilton took the perfect line (with regards to defending a position, not the fastest line) to the first corner, him changing course at the main straight didn't make that any easier for him or harder for Petrov.
The only really nasty thing in relation to overtaking was Petrov's move to let Hamilton just barely pass him at the last corner, twice he did it, which allowed him to get right into the slipstream, now that's really blocking overtaking... That was the only move he could do to STOP Hamilton from overtaking him. All fair racing in my book.
+1
Penalties should be only issued in really dangerous situations, otherwise all drivers will be afraid to make a move!
BTW anyone seen f1.com video from Australian race? The beginning is amazing with Petrov negotiating space between two cars!
Bad luck?
He's been forgiven more than any other driver ever probably (well, perhaps excluding Schumacher)
You are a child. You believe everyone hates Hamilton. I don't hate Hamilton, I think he's awesome.
Stop the damn insults to each other
I don't hate Hamilton, he's one of the best drivers out there - I only hate how media treats him (luckily, to lesser extent now compared to couple first years), how damn arrogant he was when he was a freshman (comparing himself to the greatest drivers like Senna for example), and how many times him breaking rules has been overlooked. And his father sticking his face everywhere in F1 broadcasts (luckily, again, this seems to be in past, now).
But that doesn't mean I hate the guy, or think of him any less as a driver.

Kaotik - maybe you should rethink your posting style then if you don't want to come across that way, because I'd say there are more people that see you as one than not.
Evidently, you didn't watch the same race then. To overtake, one would have to pull out to the driver in front. Instead of Petrov doing this, it was Hamilton who went to the side, ultimately giving Petrov the room to overtake that he needed. In that sense, one could say Hamilton gave Petrov more than a few opportunities to overtake.
Of course, the aim was to take away the slip-stream advantage Petrov was trying to get.
What Hamilton didn't do was blocking. You can only block, if the one coming up behind is driving quicker and a move by the one in front results in a block. That is allowed once. Hamilton in fact was slowly pulling away, even as he was moving to one side to the other, trying to shake of Petrov.
It's not a clear cut, which is why I think a warning was justified.

I don't like the energy drink but I am fan of the Red Bull team. It's a young and ambitious team and Adrian Newey is an important factor for the success of the team. I was really happy when Vettel and Webber managed to show their good performance from the qualifying in the race, it was a well-deserved double victory for the team.
What is now the Red Bull team started out as a totally new team called Stewart Grand Prix in 1997. It was a Ford works team and Ford bought it wholly in 1999 and turned it into Jaguar. Before becoming Jaguar, it was on an upward path, it had won races and had podiums and ended up 4th in the Constructor's. The Jaguar years were a disaster and Red Bull took over and had a gradual upward path with a slight dip in 2008. Of the established teams this season, it is the youngest as the previous youngest team, Toyota, pulled out before the season started. It took 13 years for them to become successful and at least 14 years for them to win a championship provided they win one this year.

Read somewhere that it was electronic part that was in fault.
Its made by McLaren, right?
What I read was that the Sauber engine problems were related to electronics. The ECU is made by McLaren and Microsoft, so it probably bluescreened because of a kernel mode driver.Read somewhere that it was electronic part that was in fault.

Anyway, Ferrari said the Sauber problem was unrelated to their own problem, but I haven't been able to find more info.

Probably because they dont care too much about us knowing. Couldnt it be heat related? The Ferrari seemed pretty bulletproof in testing but that was all in cold weather. The past 3 races have been in hot locations and we know they had problems with heat in bahrein and australia so a heat problem would seem most logical? Other than that the gearbox problem on Alono's car probably didnt do wonders for the engine either I guess.
