Imagine you are sitting at home watching TV, your kids playing outside, when a car comes hurtling past your front gate at 100mph.

You call the police who stop the car further up the road, breathalyse the guy who turns out to be twice over the limit.

What would you want the police to do?

Would you want them to throw the book at the driver in the hope that doing so ensures he is never stupid enough to do the same thing again?  Or would you be thankful he didn’t hit anyone and want the police to simply wave him on his merry way?

TV coverage of F1 at the moment is much better than it has ever been in my opinion, but it still needs improvement.

In the past we were at the mercy of local directors at each GP who invariably concentrated on the drivers from their particular country. While this is somewhat understandable, it was mightily frustrating if there was more interesting action happening elsewhere on track.

Now, each broadcaster is provided with a common feed from Bernie’s FOM which in my view at least means we usually get to see what we should be seeing although invariably we do miss the odd accident or whatever.

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.

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.

I think I may be in a minority of 1 on this!

There’s no hiding the fact that I don’t really like Lewis Hamilton, but that doesn’t really enter into the equation as far as I’m concerned.

Having read through comments on other sites, I think the general masses are getting a few things confused here which I’ll aim to clear up.

Firstly, I’ve read a few people saying that even if Hamilton has broken any rules it doesn’t matter as Kimi later crashed out.  This is utter nonsense and I think most F1 fans would agree - if someone has broken a rule then anything else which happened either as a consequence or not doesn’t really matter.
