Nothing much new has come out regarding the Kimi/Lewis incident, so the comments on blogs across the internet are simply filled with the same things.  Those who support Lewis continue to do so and those who are pretty comfortable with the outcome are similarly unmoved to change their opinion.

As was pointed out in the comments of the last post, none other than Niki Lauda has come out in support of Lewis and his driving in Belgium.

In the interest of fairness, let’s see what he has to say for himself.

He was on the outside, and then let him (Raikkonen) by, which is the rule.  Niki Lauda

Is this the rule though?  This is what I’ve been considering to be the crux of the matter - it’s the general feeling that all Hamilton had to do was allow Kimi to regain the place, but from what others believe he should have basically also opened up a little gap behind Kimi as well - or at the very least waited a corner or so before attempting to pass again.

The people who know most about what it is like to drive an F1 car are obviously the drivers themselves, so it’s always interesting to hear their take on situations that arise in the sport.

In fact, since the Hamilton incident at the weekend I’ve been looking forward to reading David Coulthard’s next ITV column which should touch on the subject - and of course Mark Webber’s column for the BBC.  The good thing with either of these drivers is that they usually say exactly what needs to be said with no pussyfooting around being overly politically correct.
