Hmmm, I dunno.
In isolation, other drivers may have had similar incidents but when you're doing the same, lethally dangerous, thing again and again it needs to be treated far more seriously.
Interestingly, I see EJ is now trying to suggest that Hamilton had an obligation to allow maldonado back onto the track.
S'funny but I seem to recall, last year (?), Lewis ran off the track (in Turkey?) and caused di Resta to swerve as he rejoined and got a penalty for it.
How come di Resta wasn't similarly compelled to allow Hamilton room to rejoin the track?
Of course, I suppose it's possible EJ is just talking bollocks, as usual.
