Hamilton passes Trulli under Safety Car – Video
Mar 31st, 2009 by Haas
Here is a video of Hamilton passing Trulli under the safety car after the latter went onto the grass.
I personally think Hamilton did the right thing by returning the postition to Trulli. When the safety car started Trulli was ahead of Hamilton and considering that both the cars were running very close to each other at the end, it made sense for Trulli to be ahead of Hamilton.
Either way the 25 second penalty is far too severe for a small confusion. Hope the FIA reverts the stewards decision and gives Trulli the podium.
If this was under the safety car, where are the yellow flags?

That is the tricky part. The safety car had just been deployed and I think it was the time between the deployment of the safety car and when the yellow flags came out.
Why Hamilton lie after the race if he fair in giving the 3rd place?
@Na
Only Hamilton can answer that question. There is a lot of things Hamilton and McLaren could have done to clear up the situation but they didnt and that is what came back to bite them.
