Can HAMILTON now ignore the so-called GENTLEMEN AGREEMENT?

That is why they exist different wayshow to obtain penalty of mark-up of places ali penalty points. This list seems almost endless. Nevertheless, there are some holes in the rules, which occasionally cause problems.

We saw a practical example during yesterday’s qualifiers GP of Styria na Red Bull Ringu. It's about unwritten rule in the regulations, but the racers agreed among themselves that they will not skip the queue, which forms on the track before they start their own fast lap in qualifying. This can ruin a colleague’s quick attempt.

Either terminate the gentleman's agreement or write it in the rules

When Nikita Mazepin, the Russian racer of the Haas team, drove past a row of colleagues on the track in Bahrain in qualifying - he also partially repeated it in another race - he was sharply criticized by fellow racers and the media literally nailed him to the cross and showed him the exit door.

So in that respect there is among the racers gentleman's agreement, which is Nikita mazepin, a Russian Formula 1 rookie on the team Haas, violated at the start of the season in Bahrain and the criticism at his expense was enormous. Both his racing colleagues and the media are young Russian sharply criticized, and journalists even demanded that he remove from Formula 1.

He is now in Austria did exactly the same Lewis Hamilton and everything was quiet. Something is wrong here. Unacceptable is to be a racer does not adhere to this agreement, because it is popular (in the case of Hamilton even a nobleman) or if we turn the matter to he scolds and nails him to the cross a racer who is not so popular with the public.

In Austria, Lewis Hamilton, who has recently attracted attention with his fashion looks, has done exactly the same, but this time there was no voice, let alone criticism from racers and the media. Double standards because a Briton is more famous than a Russian? - Photo: HB Press

Same offense, different reaction

They will be in the eye unresponsiveness of racers and the mediawhich are in the case Mazepina filled the front pages of breaking news. Guardians of the rules from FIA but let them think about it expansion of the sports code. But let this one gentleman's agreement post office official rule or let every racer in the future starts, what he likes. Hamilton proved at yesterday’s qualifiers that this is possible.
