Rule says he needs to have 1L wheen he gone back to the pit, 1 lap takes about 2,5-2,7, he wouldn tt have enough for the sample if he doesn t stop on the track

What about Alonso at Nurburgring? Did he have a mechanical issues?
Would've been, if the car made it to parc ferme. However, I seriously doubt he would have made it all the distance back to the pits on 300ml worth of fuel.
Those numbers are going at 100%...
0.3L is more then enough to cruise back in the pits.
Hamilton´s penalty is the same when Schumacher stopped his car in Monaco.
Or when Maldonado crashed into Hamilton on purpose.
Hamilton´s fault? Not making it to the pits.

Yes that certainly wouldn't have helped.
They did not lie. It was a techincal problem. Someone forgot to put in enough fuel.
Surely not.
Everything is Hamilton's fault.
Yes, but same principle - crash to give yourself an advantage. That's why Schumacher received a penalty back then and that's why Hamilton would have received one if he had crashed deliberately. The FIA would have simply extracted the fuel, realized that it wouldn't have been enough to make it back, concluded that he crashed on purpose and then given him an even harsher penalty.
As far as the stopping after the race thing is concerned, I'm looking that up now. I think Christian Danner explained the rule on German television after the Bahrain GP.
Hell yes.
And it´s actually 2.2L or so. And that´s going full throttle around the whole lap.
He stopped his car at T9, After T13 it´s downhill as well.
What part of this do you not understand?
EVERYONE THAT HAS DONE THE SAME THING HAS NEVER BEEN DISQUALIFIED FROM QUALIFYING.
This is a new penalty, just for Hamilton.
Clearly McLaren thought differently, otherwise why would they have done that?
So a human error is a technical problem? Following this logic, spinning out of a corner and crashing would be a technical problem as well.
Like I said - Alonso failed to meet rule 6.6.2 at Nurburgring. Where was the penalty?
Who has done the same thing then? In other cases it's technical problems which can be proven. Like being stalled in a gravel trap, oil leaks etc etc
Button earlier this year. He did not get a thing.
And there´s been many cases of running out of fuel since after 2010.
Nobody has ever been disqualified from the session.
These are the numbers what Mark Gallagher Cosworth exboss said, i can t argue with you, i have no data, but i belive he knows it better than you.
Also if 0,3 would be enough they wouldn t stop without a mechanical failure
