If Hamilton Drove for HRT...

Would he be banned from Formula 1?

It's no secret that the likes of McLaren and their drivers get hugely preferential treatment over the smaller teams such as HRT, Virgin and in the past, Super Aguri. Back in '06 Yuji Ide had his super-licence revoked after an erratic race in Australlia and then having a part to play in 1 accident in his next race. Yet Hamilton has undoubtably caused 4 accidents in his last two races, was caught speeding behind the safety car, not to mention some very ill-advised comments and all he's recieved one drive through penalty and a 20 second penalty that did precicely nothing. Can you imagine someone like d'Ambrosio getting away with all of this? I certainly can't, he'd have been banned for a few races after Monaco and if on his return drove like Hamilton did in Canada, wouldn't be allowed to race again. It's utterly farcical, although it's seen all through sport that sportsment at bigger teams will be let off with many things that others wouldn't.

I love my motorsport but the shameful preferential treatment of Hamilton is wearing thin very quickly. Hopefully the other drivers will stand up to this, and refuse to race alongside him, otherwise one of them is going to get badly hurt at the hands of Hamilton.

____________________________________________The drivers are a but twitchy with him as it is with the accusations and put downs on thier driving..
So what you wrote above is possible if he doesn't calm down a little.

I think he's an exciting driver, but there are limits..

I'm thinking Al Murray style, and if we didn't have limits where would we be....

Hamilton will be in the eyes of Ferrari & Red Bull, and nobody else.

He should use McLaren now to certify himself the best of the rest as it is now a fight for runner-up. And he will be runner up for second consecutive year then it's probably off to Red-Bull.
