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!

that was a bull**** race man, hamilton should have pitted , i mean wtf didnt they see what happened with raikonen when the tire blew up when the FIA would not let him pit ... shupit, now he lost the title, Mclaren is not even in the constructors championship so everyhthing is messed up ... i would have liked hamilton to win (just because is not ferrari and is maclaren) but now i like raikonen to win although he is on ferrari ... so damn man, hamilton puled a coultahard in the pits, funny but sad
