Discussion:
For clarity on Hamilton's actions

At the time of the incident, Hamilton:

Is on full brake and gearing down to first at 80kph before turning in
for the corner.

4 frames later, he begins his turn in at 76kph while still essentially
on full brakes.

10 frames later, still before the apex, he's off the brake and just
slightly on the throttle

12 frames later, just short of the apex, he's off the throttle and back
on the brakes

He stays on the brakes for 31 frames; well past the apex.

That's not a normal maneuver.

It is if it is the last corner before a straight when you have to make
space to the safety car. As you and Seb should know.

Nope. He could have chosen to slow up his pace far more gradually.

Again, rule 39.13:

'In order to avoid the likelihood of accidents before the safety car
returns to the pits, from the
point at which the lights on the car are turned out drivers must proceed
at a pace which
involves no erratic acceleration or braking nor any other manoeuvre
which is likely to endanger
other drivers or impede the restart'

without endangering others as he damn well knows too.
So, slowing down directly after corner is dirty play as -admittedly- is
to expected from the team player.

[snip b/c WTF not]

WTF is wrong with you. It's very simple, Seb should not have been so
far up his arse. Hamilton did nothing wrong nor abnormal for the
circumstances. The SC had just pulled away.

His action were entirley consistent with the circumstances and no
different from the previous SC period as formally confirmed by the
stewards.

There is no need for a more detailed analysis by no nothing armchair
critics.

You were wrong about the SC regs and you are wrong again here.

If you'll examine the rulebook, you'll see that basic idea is wrong.

There are strong constraints on what a driver can do base on where the
car behind is in relation to him.

I believe you have stated the rulebook says that a driver should not
perform in an "unpredictable manner".

Telemetry has shown that Ham behaved identically (within tolerances
obviously before you start auguring about fractions of a seconds of
difference).

Therefore Ham did not be have unpredictably, which means Vet was
anticipating when Ham would "Hoof it", miss judged it & went early.

the only person to blame is Vet, I am not sure if racing indecent could
be considered a valid outcome considering the cars were under saftey care
conditions.

I think you will find the car behind him is in control of that aspect.
There was no call for Vettel to be so close, the SC was only a few
yards down the road. It's not as if he thought Hamilton was going
anywhere. He was playing games, badly. He got badly caught out because
he wasn't paying attention on the previous restart.

As you imply Vettel was trying to affect Hamilton's restart. He doesn't
have a right to do that. It was Hamilton's job to set the pace... and
certainly not a "constant pace".

No. Hamilton was trying to affect Vettel's restart. Otherwise why slow
up so quickly. You DO understand that he could have done so far more
gradually, right?

Hail the Lord, A MIRACLE!!! the Blind can see again.

...even if somewhat myopic and with no sense of time and motion.

So you could also see the SC go into 15 just ahead of the pack seconds
before Vettel first rammed the then acting SC. Yes, while all the
shennaigans went on behind the SC had time (12 seconds) to get from 15
to 16. Did you expect it to stop moving?

Glad you can see again even if not so much as to see what a twat you

It appeared to be a long way ahead but it was close enough for a F1 car to
pass it before the first safety car line that's why the lead car becomes the
safety car and controls the pace so that when they restart the real safety
car is safely out of the way.

indeed the telemetry even goes so far as to demonstrate that Ham did
exactly the same thing at the previous restart.
in which case Vet should have expected it
In which case Ham did not behave in an unexpected & unpredictable manner.

Bakers whole argument is therefore out of the window.

Is on full brake and gearing down to first at 80kph before turning in
for the corner.
4 frames later, he begins his turn in at 76kph while still essentially
on full brakes.
10 frames later, still before the apex, he's off the brake and just
slightly on the throttle
12 frames later, just short of the apex, he's off the throttle and back
on the brakes
He stays on the brakes for 31 frames; well past the apex.
That's not a normal maneuver.
This is simply my own opinion. I am a Ferarri fan, and a Hamilton
hater...though I have a lot of respect for him as a driver. The fault
goes squarely to SV. The part whrere he turns into LH is terrible, a
very bad reaction from SV. Hamilton also knew exactly what he was
doing, he was doing it to annoy SV, he did not expect to cause an
accident. It is part of the game and Hamilton is too good to not know
exactly what he was doing, and the same can be said of SV. Again, the
blame goes to SV in this case. But they are both way too good to even
be having this discussion about who did what, they both did things on
purpose.....SV reaction was bad for hitting LH and extremely bad for
turning into him on purpose. I think a suspension would be deserved
for SV. And I still want Ferarri to win this year.

Except if you're acknowledging they both know how the game is played...

...then why did Vettel hit him from behind in the first place?

The logical inference is that Hamilton WASN'T doing what was expected.

Is on full brake and gearing down to first at 80kph before turning in
for the corner.
4 frames later, he begins his turn in at 76kph while still essentially
on full brakes.
10 frames later, still before the apex, he's off the brake and just
slightly on the throttle
12 frames later, just short of the apex, he's off the throttle and back
on the brakes
He stays on the brakes for 31 frames; well past the apex.
That's not a normal maneuver.
This is simply my own opinion. I am a Ferarri fan, and a Hamilton
hater...though I have a lot of respect for him as a driver. The fault
goes squarely to SV. The part whrere he turns into LH is terrible, a
very bad reaction from SV. Hamilton also knew exactly what he was
doing, he was doing it to annoy SV, he did not expect to cause an
accident. It is part of the game and Hamilton is too good to not know
exactly what he was doing, and the same can be said of SV. Again, the
blame goes to SV in this case. But they are both way too good to even
be having this discussion about who did what, they both did things on
purpose.....SV reaction was bad for hitting LH and extremely bad for
turning into him on purpose. I think a suspension would be deserved
for SV. And I still want Ferarri to win this year.
Except if you're acknowledging they both know how the game is played...
...then why did Vettel hit him from behind in the first place?
The logical inference is that Hamilton WASN'T doing what was expected.
Right, I'm sure you'll get unanimous approval across the board
that *that's* exactly how a race car driver should compete, by
doing only what is expected at all times.

There are and always have been reasonable limits on the ways you can
drive unexpectedly. There are things which are great tactics that are
specifically called out as illegal, and there is a specific rule about
how you are allowed to maneuver on a restart.

Yes and the stewards and pundits and the worlds press all agree Hamilton did
nothing wrong.
You are a Prick. And yes everyone agrees.

And the rules place limits on just how much "messing" is allowed.

We don't know that Vettel made a mistake.

We KNOW that Hamilton braked far beyond the apex of the corner and never

Ever since Monaco 2006 I believe the stewards when it comes to assessing on-track incidents. That was a defining incident. They were able to look at the throttle and steering inputs and speed into corners and rule that Schumacher had not been on a hot lap only to have his car stall, but had come in slower than on his hot laps and made steering inputs that made no sense unless he was intending to stop where he did.

Since then I take their rulings, my confidence growing each year as they get more, better quality data.

Things may look different to us watching on TV, but the stewards ultimately have the best seat in the house, and have access to data we will never see.

And if they say Hamilton didn't do anything significantly different to what he did on previous restarts, that he didn't brake test Vettel, then I accept that that is what happened. I might have seen more room for disagreeing or questioning 20 years ago, but now I take their rulings at face value.

Vettel was a dozy twonk for hitting Hamilton, and a dick head for a what happened next.

So why didn't Vettel hit him on the previous SC, when it has been shown

And you know it was EXACTLY the same way... ...how?

Also, what is an acceptable maneuver at any given time on a race track
depends on the situation with other cars in your vicinity.

If you suddenly wanted to brake going down the straight, it's perfectly
alright if there isn't a car directly behind you.

Similarly, weaving on a straight (something you might actually want to
do in order to get heat into tires) isn't against the rules...

...unless there is another car trying to pass.

Unexpected ? By VET in his fervor possibly, but immaterial.

Maybe VET's team hadn't warned him that HAM had been tipped off the
previous restart that not leaving sufficient gap had almost had him pass
the SC prematurely. But still no excuse.

No he acted exactly the same way in the two earlier restarts. so it was not
unexpected. The trutj is Vet was panicky because he nearly got passed by
Massa on the previous restart. That fully explains Vets actions and he even
alluded to it after the race.

From BBC Read and STFU.

Did Hamilton do anything wrong?
The red-flag period gave the race stewards in Baku the chance to properly
analyse telemetry data from Hamilton's car.

They looked at his behaviour at all three safety-car restarts and concluded
the Mercedes driver did nothing wrong. The FIA said he did not brake or lift
off excessively and maintained a more or less constant speed.

The language in that statement leaves room for doubt as to whether Hamilton
slowed down before Vettel hit him.

Some on social media have reacted to on-board video from Hamilton's car,
claiming telemetry graphics indicated he did brake shortly before the
initial impact, and used it as evidence that Vettel was right to accuse
Hamilton of 'brake-testing' him.

But the video does not show this. Close analysis of the footage shows
Hamilton is slowing as he approaches the apex of the corner, and keeps the
brakes on lightly past the apex. His minimum speed is 51km/h as he exits the
corner. But he has come off the brakes and is coasting before Vettel hits
him.

At this point, Hamilton was preparing for the restart, and managing his gap
to Vettel while bunching up the pack, trying to ensure he had the most
advantageous position. As the leader, that is his prerogative.

The FIA says there was no heavy braking or anything contrary to the rules.

That's bullshit right there. His speed fell from 63kph at the apex to a
minimum of 51kph before contact.

No, but he equally did nothing sudden or nothing wrong. Instead of
obsessing (wrongly) over the telemetry, look at the video from VET's

happened to give VET the cue that it was in fact time to accelerate.

So they are obviously lying.
He lifted -completely- so there is no way to lift more then 100 % as he
did.
He DID brake!
He DID NOT maintain a more or less constant speed unless they want to
call slowing down 50% more or less constant speed which needs no further
explanation to be absolute BS.

Facts don't matter anyway, Ham fans will explain everything away, they
even go as far as calling his whining to order Bottas to slow down as a
"team" thing. :-) Yep he is widely known as a real team player.

Is on full brake and gearing down to first at 80kph before turning in
for the corner.
4 frames later, he begins his turn in at 76kph while still
essentially on full brakes.
10 frames later, still before the apex, he's off the brake and just
slightly on the throttle
12 frames later, just short of the apex, he's off the throttle and
back on the brakes
He stays on the brakes for 31 frames; well past the apex.
That's not a normal maneuver.
From BBC Read and STFU.
Did Hamilton do anything wrong?
The red-flag period gave the race stewards in Baku the chance to
properly analyse telemetry data from Hamilton's car.
They looked at his behaviour at all three safety-car restarts and
concluded the Mercedes driver did nothing wrong. The FIA said he did
not brake or lift off excessively and maintained a more or less
constant speed.
So they are obviously lying.
He lifted -completely- so there is no way to lift more then 100 % as he
did.
He DID brake!
He DID NOT maintain a more or less constant speed unless they want to
call slowing down 50% more or less constant speed which needs no
further explanation to be absolute BS.
Facts don't matter anyway,
Not when the disagree with you bigoted stupidity anyway.
you have been presented with facts from the in-car telemetry why would
the FIA be lying?
Why don't you ask them?
It was simply on TV showing Ham lifted completely, brakes on, shifting to
first gear and speed reducing from about 100km/h to less then 50 km/h.
Now explain it away all day I really don't care and don't expect anything
else.
But tell me,do you think someone manipulated that TV broadcast, really?

No I think you are so biased against Hamilton that you conclude that he
must have been at least partially at fault regardless of any evidence
presented.

FIA investigation confirmed he did nothing different on that restart to
the previous two they have ALL the telemetry & know how to understand it
properly, you do not (that is you do not have it all & you would not know
how to understand it if you did).

Hamilton has been guilty in a number of incidents & partially at fault in
some others, this was not one, accept it or continue to lower you own
credibility even further

Facts don't matter anyway, Ham fans will explain everything away, they
even go as far as calling his whining to order Bottas to slow down as a
"team" thing. :-) Yep he is widely known as a real team player.

Good to see you sticking up for your hero, or rather steadfastly
sticking down for your anti-hero, for whatever reason that might be.

For AB it is obviously simply because he is a would-be auto-racing
twerp. For you it seems like something more sinister,l but I could be
wrong and it is just that you feel HAM is the only real challenge to
your stiffy-focus idol ALO. And a very few others for whatever IMO
misguided reason they may have.

The opposite POV from of a hell of a lot of others far more expert than
any of us. Problably not far from 99% of them.

But I don't expect anything to change your POV.

The alternative being the words of someone who's only constant is
extreme and irrational bias.

I think most people will either ignore or treat with massive sceptisism
anything the likes of you and "." have to say and be quite comfortable

I dont think anybody disputes that Hamilton was slow through that corner and used his brakes.

That's not the same as doing something wrong.

He was the lead driver behind a safety car that was about to come in. He is thus entitled to control the pace and, if he wants, to back up the cars behind him.

In this context, he did nothing wrong.

So could he wait until after the corner with a car close behind and then
immediately brake at maximum? Would that be alright in your view?

No. That would be sudden and unexpected. As VET or any other driver
would have driven exactly as HAM did at that point, it could not have
been considered unexpected, and was not sudden.

I also looked at the split screen that was done on one site between the
first restart and the second, and in that one can clearly see that
Hamilton doesn't continue slowing past the corner apex the first time.

For clarity I'll say it was unexpected by Vettel, a 76 year old man and
at least one other person, but it shouldn't have been.

I see you have *still* failed to give a reason for Vettel's proximty to
Hamilton and not paying proper attention when a restart was some time
away, what with the SC was just a few seconds ahead and some 30 seconds

'“But at the same time what created the incident is what occurred when
Lewis slowed down so quickly in a very unlikely place. You have got to
take that into account.

“That was a shock to Sebastian, and that is why he came alongside Lewis
to ask ‘what the hell are you doing?’ What Vettel then did was to
unquestionably collide with Hamilton. There is no room for that, no
excuse for that and it is wrong. It is inappropriate behaviour.
“It would be very simple to put the complete blame on one man, but what
initiated the bad behaviour was what happened before.

BTW, for clarity's sake, I'll state I completely agree with Jackie that

I already said I don't care if stewards rule that legal, it nevertheless
is a dirty trick and IMO it clearly violates the regulations as posted
here by Alan Baker :

Again, rule 39.13:

'In order to avoid the likelihood of
accidents before the safety car
returns to the pits, from the
point at which the lights on the car are
turned out drivers must proceed
at a pace which
involves no erratic acceleration or braking nor
any other manoeuvre
which is likely to endanger
other drivers or impede the restart'

Maybe Jackie's eyesight is as impaired as your blind loathing colours

Without actively seeking to find more opinions, Eddie Jordan, David
Coultard, Daniel Ricciardo, and others have said it was just fine, and
very few have said it wasn't.

That you appear unable to interpret and comprehend the significance of

I think that one of the biggest problems, and this is what keeps people like
Edmund and Baker ranting on, is that the FOM live feed at the time of the
incident was on-board with Vettel. From that PoV it wasn't obvious how much
Vettel accelerated out of the corner in anticipation and so it *looked like*
Hamilton braked.

I winced and thought "That didn't look good - I want to see that from
another angle"- then we stayed on-baord as Vettel drove alongside and banged
wheels with Hamilton (which reinforced Hamiltonophobes / Vettelophiles
opinions that Hamilton'd done wrong). Once I'd seen it from outside Vettels
car it became obvious that Vettel had anticipated Hamilton accelerating and
so did so himself with no margin for error - and he made an error.

However there are some people who fixate on what they first see and give it
too much wieght, not waiting for more data (it's a known psychological
phenomena). It's obvious that Eddie and Baker fall into that category. I bet
if we'd not been in-car with Vettel at the time this thread would have died
a while back. As it is they've formed such a strong opinion based on first
impressions that you might as well piss into a fan as try telling them
different.

Yes it most certainly looked that way, maybe, just maybe it looked that
way because he slowed down from about 100 km/h to less then 50 km/h.

There's no "look like" about it.

I've seen the on-board with Hamilton's telemetry being displayed.

He was still braking well past the apex.

On the contrary, when I first commented on this, I thought that Hamilton
had done nothing wrong.

It was only later after I saw the telemetry data that I realized how
long he'd stayed on the brakes.

From BBC Read and STFU.
Did Hamilton do anything wrong?
The red-flag period gave the race stewards in Baku the chance to
properly analyse telemetry data from Hamilton's car.
They looked at his behaviour at all three safety-car restarts and
concluded the Mercedes driver did nothing wrong. The FIA said he did
not brake or lift off excessively and maintained a more or less
constant speed.
So they are obviously lying.
He lifted -completely- so there is no way to lift more then 100 % as he
did.
He DID brake!
He DID NOT maintain a more or less constant speed unless they want to
call slowing down 50% more or less constant speed which needs no
further explanation to be absolute BS.
I dont think anybody disputes that Hamilton was slow through that corner
and used his brakes.
Well some seems to suggest slowing down more then 50% is maintaining
constant speed.
That's some. Let's keep things separate and conflate the stewards with some.
Post by Edmund

That's not the same as doing something wrong.
He was the lead driver behind a safety car that was about to come in. He
is thus entitled to control the pace and, if he wants, to back up the
cars behind him.
In this context, he did nothing wrong.
I already said I don't care if stewards rule that legal, it nevertheless
is a dirty trick and IMO it clearly violates the regulations as posted
'In order to avoid the likelihood of
accidents before the safety car
returns to the pits, from the

Stewart also said that Vettel was at fault. There is no getting away from that. Even if Vettel thought that he'd been brake tested, he was wrong to draw level with Hamilton and side swipe him. There is no defending or recontextualising what he did.

This leaves us with Hamilton and what he did. You cite a three times World Champion who also thinks that Hamilton provoked Vettel.

It seems to me that many sports now face a problem that the increasing use of technology in adjudicating incidents throws up decisions that seem contrary to what the naked eye and what we call common sense say happened.

There's been a lot of this in cricket, for example, especially in the case of the Sri Lankan bowler Muttiah Muralitharan who was repeatedly condemned for having an illegal action but who was eventually exonerated by technology and human movement scientists.

What we see on TV, what even a retired world champion sees, may not be all there is to an early incident.

Hence my earlier comment about the stewards having the best seat in the house. They alone get all available camera footage, all the telemetry, all the radio chat. They are the best placed to rule on what happened, and drivers these days dont get away with much.

That's not a normal maneuver.
I think it's normal for a leader behind a safety car, trying to slow the pack down immediately before the restart.

Especially if his name is Hamilton. It's the way he usually does it.

Sure, in many contexts this would be unusual, but not in this context.
