Citat:
"At the time it happened we were talking on the intercom and said that was definitely a situation where he (Hamilton) will have to give back his position. We weren't surprised to hear the stewards were going to investigate it. Having look backed at the video footage I do feel very sorry for Lewis (Hamilton).
"I think he has been very hard done by. It raises lots of questions, and I am not talking about the FIA being on the side of Ferrari. We have to believe that they are impartial, the sport would not exist if we didn't believe that. But I think it does call into question philosophy, because everyone is saying we need more overtaking, more excitement and more personalities. And yet it seems to me that everything that actually happens seems to be against that. Here we had a great race with people really challenging each other and for what? If it's taken away, then why take that risk? To me the facts are quite clear in retrospect. I have had a look at the videos, I've had a look at the published data which shows that Lewis was nearly 7 k an hour slower than Raikkonen across the line, you can quite clearly see on the in car camera that he lets him get completely in front. In my view Raikkonen just braked very early.
"Lewis went inside him, and if you look at the in-car camera stuff, Lewis drove around the hairpin very easily. He didn't have a big slide, he didn't have to correct it, he hadn't gone in too deep and come out wide, it was a perfectly legitimate manoeuvre, and it wasn't that much later that Raikkonen went past him. This is racing, this is what we want. I think motor racing should be like football, not like cricket. Let's have action. Let's know what is going on in real time, not wait for two days to find out the result.
