Default Did Hamilton swerve ?

Lewis Hamilton would not have hit her red car but he would have plowed right into the white car. Now all that happened fast yet with his amazing reflexes and knowing he had to hit one of the two(he could have hit both) did he choose the red car over the white car?

Kubica is his close friend.

You make the call.

I realy hope Kubica beats him in the championship, just because of that..... I think someone else pointed out if it was MS he would have taken out both

Guys, guys, guys, do you really think he is that calculating and able to make a decision in a split second. Afterall this is the guy that can't even see a red light?

Are you sure it wasn't Sutil who was aiming to take Kimi out? It was his car that conveniently brought out the saftey car. Maybe he and Hamilton planned the whole ramming stunt.

He saw the light too late, had the option of turning right and slamming into the wall, going straight and slamming into Kubica, or turning left and maybe getting to the left of Kimi. What would you have done if you had missed the red light?

I think he headed over to the left purely of the possibility of missing both by shooting around the two. There was no open lane to the right.

To someone who drives in the UK swerving to the left is the natural tendency just ike we tend to swerve to the right over here.

Watch the video below around 2:00 is when the on board looking at LH's helment, He swerves, says WTF? and then realizes there was a red light. I blame this wreck on the Team. They should have a person dedicated to watching the lights at the end of pit road, I bet Ferrari does after their eff up last year.
