It happens again and this time it might have more serious consequences than anytime before. A clip posted on YouTube is now making victims in the real life as Lewis Hamilton, one of the Formula One title challengers, might be penalized after the race stewards decided to investigate the matter. The YouTube video showed Hamilton braking violently while the safety car was out on the circuit which is an important rule infringement. According to Web User News, the clip was uploaded by a spectator of the race and showed the event which was not spotted by any other TV camera which broadcast the race.
"Also, Hamilton has been accused of braking heavily, causing a crash between Red Bull's Australian driver Mark Webber and Toro Rosso's Sebastien Vettel, another Formule One rookie," Web User News wrote. "It has been reported that Hamilton today appeared before race stewards to explain his actions, who will then decide if any offense was committed and what subsequent action should be taken."
This is a new clear sign that YouTube tends to become more important in every day's life as some of the users manage to report important events that took part in the real life. What's more important is that this video showing Hamilton breaking the rules was first removed due to copyright infringement but it was uploaded back by another user.
YouTube was acquired by the Mountain View company Google in October 2006 when the super giant paid no less than $1.65 billion for the online video sharing service. Since then, YouTube grew up a lot and became one of the most popular technologies on the web which now tends to replace the traditional TV. Moreover, Google aims to obtain even more than that and is continuously focused on YouTube so we might see some new features very soon
