Dear follow forum members,
Apparently I have offended several of you by writing the article: The fairness of F1 ( http://www.f1technical.net/news/7320 ). I would like to point out that this is a column of mine like written on newssites all over the world. With my point of view, which I'm sure is shared by many of you all. Of course this isn't the opinion of everybody and I respect that.
One of the comments was that I have written that Vettel was still punished and that it is not fair. I have to tell you that at the moment when I wrote my column, the news that Vettel's punishment was withdrawn was not yet available. As soon as it was I have published it on the site: http://www.f1technical.net/news/7322
I have to say that I stay with my opinion. Hamilton's driving behaviour was dangerous and it has put other drivers at risk. I believe Hamilton should have been penalised to prevent this in the future! As I also stated in my column, I have a huge amount of respect for Hamilton so this is not an attack on his person. If it was Alonso, Raikkonen or any other driver I would have felt the same way!
I want to apologise to the members of our website who might have been offended by this column as this was never my intention.
