Ahhh, Chris Amon, the most famous of all the Kiwi F1 drivers out there, despite (or because of) not even having a World Championship to his name. Heck with that, despite even not having won an F1 championship race! This is not to say that he did not try, as he had led more than his fair share of races, and that he could and did win F1 races. It is just that, as non-championship races, they did not count towards the driver's championship title. He won at the International Race Of Champions at Silverstone in 1970 and the 1971 Argentine Grand Prix.

After a long debate in the comments over the difference between Lewis Hamilton's actions in Australia 2009, when he took to the stewards office with a rather different version of events than he had told the media, and Sebastian Vettel's attempts to halt a race with radio reports of low visibility, Jordan F1 puts together his own thoughts on acceptable actions from our F1 drivers.
