Nico Hulkenberg has also been given a 20-second penalty by the stewards for gaining an advantage in turn 7 in the first lap of the Singapore GP. This drops the Williams driver one spot, moving Felipe Massa up to 8th.

And everything I saw showed that Webber was never going to get around that corner without hitting Hamilton even if the latter had left two car widths clear inside.DaveKillens wrote: Everything I saw on television and via pictures tells me Webber would have made it through that corner.
Sorry Webber fans but your boy has just declared war. 
That's being a bit pedantic there. It is a fact that his car connected with Hamiltons. The use of the word "hit" does not confirm any guilt, particularly when the car in front turned in after a possible left rear view mirror failure.n smikle wrote:Notice in all of his interviews he just says "I hit lewis" then changes the subject when he is asked to go into the details.
Q. If you come in the last few races into a similar situation to what Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber found in Singapore, where you fight side-by-side, do you take risks at all costs or play it safe?
FA: I don't know – it depends on the situation. All situations are unique and difficult to compare to any other one. If you see clearly that you have an advantage into the corner and think you are okay then you go for it. If you are at a disadvantage in that corner then maybe you go off the throttle because you need to finish races. [Mark] Webber was very lucky in Singapore. I saw the picture of the tyre, and that was luck!
It was okay, but 99 per cent of time during incidents like that both cars would be off. And if both cars were off then maybe now there would be different talks the week after – because now it seems that it was bad for Lewis [Hamilton], and if both cars were off then maybe it was not so much on Lewis. I think Hamilton was unlucky in that incident and Mark was lucky, but no-one was at fault.
Q: McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton has been criticised a lot recently for his mistakes. If you take a look at the incidents he was embroiled in at Monza and Singapore, how do you see it?
NH: I would say that he risked a little too much there. The chance to pass Felipe (Massa) may not have been good at that point. So there I would say that it was his mistake. In Singapore I would say that this was an accident, as I think that he gave Mark Webber enough space. He had to take the chance to be in a good position, so it was not a mistake but rather bad luck. These things happen in racing. If two drivers are heading for the same turn and both want to have the best line, then contact might happen. Webber came into the whole situation as he had to pass one of the Virgins, which caused Lewis to be in a good position. He was ahead for a couple of metres, then Mark braked very late so as not to lose his position. Lewis gave him some space, but then they touched. This is what makes racing exciting. For me this was a pure racing accident.
So, you quote two drivers who both really say it was a racing incident and no one was to blame and conclude it was Webber's fault?n smikle wrote:Well, Alonso thought Webber should have braked.. but he didn't say it directly..

And Hulkenburg thought the same too..
NH: For me this was a pure racing accident.
He does that all the time.
