The incident he's under investigation wasn't shown on the TV broadcast.. apparently someone from the audience shot a video which shows Hamilton pulling up to the safety car (which is against the rules) and then suddenly hitting the breaks causing the pile up.

Edit: Here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QJurnfxRm4

It's pretty clear that Hamilton gets way too close to the safety car

I personally think it's a shame that Hamilton didn't get penalized, especially considering that Kubica got a drive-through penalty from just trying to pass Hamilton.. after reading Ecclestones latest comments one just has to think how badly they are willing to bend the rules to make Hamilton the champion..

Can't view the video as it's been removed, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was the case. In his defence though, visibility was very poor and it isn't his job to keep a distance to Webber. Webber should have kept a safe distance from Hamilton, and Vettel likewise to Webber. It was just a racing incident caused by the conditions and this is most likely why the stewards removed Vettels penalty.

I'm not sure whether Kubica should have been penalised either. However it was a highly optimistic move, considering the conditions, so this might be why he was penalised.

Hamilton is a rookie and has probably been given a little leeway due to inexperience but I don't think there is outright bias.

Good job in qualifying by Hamilton today. Red Bull had a good session too. :D

At least it's not Ferrari for once..........

Well Lewis was at the front, either way everyone HAS TO KEEP BEHIND HIM. ?They are allowed a maxium of 5 car lengths between them. ?They should use it.

damn that was very unlucky for Hamilton!

Should have been brought in laps ago, and they say Mclaren were just being "cautious"!!!

Leaving the driver out on near bald tyres is not what i would call cautious, even if he had of came in went on the wrong tyres and had to come back in to change again chaces are he would have still been in points and some points is so much better then none at all!

Putting all this pressure on a rookie driver so early in his career is not fair and now he is faced with a finsh 3rd or its over situation next race.

Still, will be a race to watch in a few weeks!

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
