Lewis tried to get Webber Penalized?
Thank God for YouTube! If you missed it, there’s an amateur video floating around showing that Lewis Hamilton contributed to the accident between Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber during the Japanese Grand Prix last weekend. Let’s hope someone else captured Alonso spinning off from start to finish because the TV directors did a good job of missing that action too.. 
Apparently a few copies of this video have been taken off YouTube pretty quickly so let’s hope this embedded one below works for you all..
You’d have to say Lewis was trying the oldest trick in the book – braking suddenly so that the car behind you (Webber) passes you under the safety car. Then Webber would get a drive through penalty or similar, which would have been very convenient given that he was faster than Lewis before the safety car came out…
In any case, it’d be surprising if Lewis didn’t get punished in some way for his actions (actually, it wouldn’t be surprising – this is F1 after all! 8)). Article 40.10 of the F1 Sporting Regulations states:
Once behind the safety car, the race leader must keep within 5 car lengths of it.
Eyeballing it I’d say he left at least 10 car lengths (when the safety car was out of shot right at the end)..?
