FIA stewards today announced that there will be no penalty for Lewis Hamilton following accusations of dangerous driving behind the safety car at last weekends Japanese Grand Prix.

The stewards had decided to look into whether Lewis was driving dangerously following a complaint from Mark Webber, who was hit by Sebastian Vettel as he braked to avoid overtaking Lewis.

The race was held under the most ridiculous weather conditions - in fact, Ferrari’s Jean Todt said the start of the race should have been delayed. Due to the conditions, the stewards decided Lewis should receive no penalty. They also cancelled Vettel’s 10 place penalty at this weekends Chinese Grand Prix, which he received for his collision with Mark Webber.

Incidentally, if anyone’s wondering why I didn’t post about the whole Ferrari/McLaren spy fiasco - I was just too angry!
