Maybe I'm naive. But I didn't pick up on that at all. And personally to me, I wouldn't care if he was orange.
He is a good driver I have to admit. But personally Vettel and Bourdais are more of talent anyday. As they are in a tiny team and still qualied good and Vettel just ran away in the race.

as for the current state of F1

its really putting me off, i went to my first gp this year at silverstone and loved every minute of it. bit soured for me now all this is happening.
those closing laps that led to this debacle were some of the best and most exciting in F1 in years but for the FIA to rob all fans(im no hamilton fan, arrogant little ******) of a result after the event is a joke.
as is the decision today, they have followed the path of least resistance and made a non decision.
i for one have lost interest in F1, not because 'our lewis' is being wronged but because of the way the FIA appears determined to not allow the F1 championship to be decided on the track, i just have lost interest, simple as that, F1 is supposed to be a sport not politics.
I agree, some of the things Schmacher did where bad and wrong. And could be linked to the same as hamilton. I don't for one thing though agree with that he didn't know he was there on his outside the man just passed out the Toyota.
And he did some serious blocking.
But the thing is F1 is politics always was and always will be. They have done this for years. And really do you not think 1 point in the difference will make the coming race even more exciting?? Than a 7 point lead?
