GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Rookie sensation Lewis Hamilton has stolen plenty of limelight from his fellow teammate and defending F1 champ Fernando Alonso this season, and Saturday, Formula One's sanctioning gave him the pole for Sunday morning's (in the States, 7:30am/ET) Hungarian Grand Prix.Alonso will be moved from his starting spot on the point to 6th on the grid, slotting Hamilton into the pole, due to FIA saying Alonso and his team were involved in actions "considered prejudicial to the interests of the competition and to the interests of motor sport generally."
Wait, FIA has rules against that?
The penalty in starting position is huge in F1 and Alonso will only be scored for driver points, with none applied to the constructor's championship.
Hamilton complained after qualifying that Alonso -- yeah, his McLaren teammate -- remained in a pit stall idling for an extra 20 seconds, preventing Hamilton from making an efficient stop. Race stewards didn't determine a problem, but FIA stepped in later and took action.
And people wonder why America isn't in tune with F1 as a whole, still?
What's the difference in the 2002 U.S. Grand Prix debacle when Michael Schumacher gave Rubens Barichello the win on the last lap? Is that not "prejudicial to interests of competition and to the interests of motor sport globally"? And what exactly does McLaren have to gain from Alonso's maneuvers?
I must just not understand that level of sophistication.
