Default French GP

2 questions:-

1) Anyone else think Lewis Hamilton might have a case about his drive-through? I thought it was borderline, but there is presedent for giving a place back after failing to take a chicane after a pass.

2) Is there anyone who thinks that Kimi Raikonnen should not have been black flagged for that loose exhaust?

Listening to the commentary on ITV, I got the impression that the team would have been on the radio to the stewards immediately after Lewis's overtake, to try to get an unofficial nod on whether it was OK or not. At this point there would still have been time to give back the place I guess.

It would be interesting to know if such a conversation took place and what was said.

Was always going to be a risk though - should the team have taken it?

1) Anyone else think it would have been different had it been a Ferrari doing the overtaking?

2) At first it did seem ok, but inlight of it later flying off at speed, there is a case for being black flagged, imagine if it had happened going down the start/finish straight with the crowd within easy hitting distance.
