Yeah, he actually did! Didn't you read this:

"I still can't believe it, that someone can hit you while you're stood, waiting for the red light next to another car," Raikkonen was quoted as saying by Autosport. "I can't imagine how Hamilton could not see the red lights or the two cars standing still in front of him." "I think he deserves the penalty," he added. "He loses ten places on the grid which will make it more difficult for him in France. Besides that we lost the possibility to have a good result in Canada and at the moment the safety car came out my car was running very fast and we could have won, or in the worst case have come second." "Accidents happen, but it's difficult not to see two cars standing still ahead of you," he added.

New thread

Love the title

[-Supersonic-]

I also added the banners of each circuit to the opening post. Hope you guys like it.

[L i N d $ @ y]

HAHAHA! thanks for posting that, David! i do know Kimi!

beautiful OP! i love it!

[*Stephie*]

Love the OP

[perrygraham]

The OP is amazing.

Which reminds me that I'm not looking forward to the French GP.

"I can't imagine how Hamilton could not see the red lights or the two cars standing still in front of him."

I thought Raikkönens lights weren't working....not that this is an excuse for Hamilton. F1 cars are big enough to not oversee them....well okay in the fog of Spa maybe.

[-Supersonic-]

Glad you guys like it!

So guys what's your expectation for Magny-Cours? Do you guys like this circuit?

[perrygraham]

you posted at the same time I did

I hate Magny Cours, it's the most boring circuit ever. Thank god they'll change the track soon.

[-Supersonic-]

Yeah, I did!

I think that Kimi meant the red lights of the pit lane, not the lights of his car. The red light behind the cars must be turned on only if it's raining...

Yeah, I think Magny-Cours is a bit boring indeed.

[perrygraham]

I'm reading through some English articles and I'm laughing my ass off here.

Hamilton said: "I was trying to be cautious. I looked at the red light and I looked back and they'd stopped. There were two cars side by side. If they'd been in a line I would have seen it a bit faster."

Oh of course, how dare Raikkönen and Kubica for not not lining up in a row. At least they know what to do when they see a red light.

Raikkonen was not impressed. "I saw a red light and chose to stop, someone else saw a red light and chose not to," he said.

Kubica, meanwhile, joked that he was lucky Hamilton hit Raikkonen and not him. “I have to thank him [Hamilton] that he chose Kimi and not me,” he said.

he's one lucky dude

If Hamilton continues like that I'll start to call him Alonso II.
And somehow this reminds me of the Hamilton/Alonso feud from last year.
So Raikkönen is the new Alonso for Hamilton. Hee!

[-Supersonic-]

Kimi is awesome, dude!

Seriously, dudes, I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again: Hamilton should just STFU! Every time he opens his mouth he manages to sound even more stupid.

[perrygraham]

When's Hamiltons birthday? We should collect some money and buy him glasses.

[-Supersonic-]

He definitely needs it! He also needs good sense to stop saying rubbish, but I don't think we can give him that.

[*Stephie*]

I love Kimi
