Will Lewis Hamilton throw away the world champsionship on a bone head move?

Another thing about Lewis and his Lap 1 performance in Japan. The TV broadcast didn't show that he went off the track in Turn 2 also. He got extremely close to Alonso after Turn 1, then went straight through Turn 2, losing 4 more positions.
High res version here.
Low res here.
Its pretty sad that our TV coverage failed to show any of this.

you can see why Kimi wasn't to happy about the first corner, he nearly got take out by both Mclarens and how Hamilton got himself in that situation. I'm hoping at Brazil Kimi just runs over the back of Hammy at turn 1, somehow I get the feeling there are more than a few drivers who would be happy to after all Hamiltons antics this season.
More reasons why Lewis' 1st turn antics were not wise.

Breaking News
F1 Insiders have reported that Ron Dennis is now ready to set in motion a plan to guarantee a WDC for Hamilton this season.
Sources in Woking have revealed that after last's season's "Hamilton Moments" Ron Dennis ordered a special set of features to be added to the "standard" Microsoft/McLaren ECU. Specifically, a remote controlled mode, which up to now has not been activated nor disclosed to the FIA.
It has been discovered that Ron Dennis has contacted Mika Hakkinen (who coincidentally has been seen at numerous McLaren races as of late) and Mika has agreed to drive Hamilton's MP4-23D via remote control from a "secure yet undisclosed location" for the last 2 races of the season.
Hamilton will be heavily sedated after getting into the car and will be seen moving his hands inside the cockpit, so as not to arouse the curiosity of officials or other teams. The sedation will wear off just as he enters Parc Ferme at the end of the race.

Good spotting, that would have made one hell of a vibration. When you think about it with 20/20 hindsight, Massa's tag was an idiotic move, since it's clear now Hamilton would of had to come in for tires anyway and Massa wouldn't have gotten a drive through.
