The heiress who turned terrorist

SHE was the glamorous heiress to a newspaper and magazine fortune in a family accustomed to wealth, power, political clout and privilege.
She was also a college kid, studying for an arts degree in California, living with her boyfriend.
Patty Hearst may have had bloodlines which made her pretty much American royalty, but with her father one of a number of her wealthy grandfather's heirs, her parents saw no need for her to have special personal security.
So in 1974 when kidnappers came calling, abducting her at the age of just 19 from her apartment as her fiancee Steven Weed watched helplessly, America watched, spellbound.
Imagine, then, the intake of breath when she re-emerged, apparently having become a member of the very terrorist organisation which abducted her.
Four decades on, after being kidnapped by terrorists, resurfacing to join them, then being thrown in jail by the FBI, the Patty Hearst of today is and entirely different person.
She's 63. She's an occasional actor, has married, had children, written a few books, and has appeared in several movies.

She mixes in the US east coast's elite social circles and takes her beloved pets to dog shows.
But asUS news giant CNN releases a four-part documentary retelling her incredible story, The Radical Story of Patty Hearst - a series she loathes and has denounced - Americans are again debating whether her story was one of horror in which she was a victim suffering Stockholm syndrome and trying to stay alive, or whether she just changed her tune when caught.
Hearst herself, four decades on, is angry over suggestions she was anything but a scared, unwilling accomplice fighting for her life.
WHO IS PATTY HEARST?
Hearst is the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, an American businessman who by the 1970s had created and reigned over Hearst Communications - then the largest newspaper, magazine, newsreel and movie business in the world.
So when she went missing in 1974 - kidnapped by the domestic terrorist group SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army) - it made world headlines, and only got weirder when she reappeared shortly after, toting a gun and seemingly working alongside her captors.
She would later claim she had been brainwashed and threatened into joining them, in an exercise that saw her become a poster girl for the terrorist group.
It's this much-debated "double life" which the CNN documentary focuses on.
She has slammed the CNN series and a planned biopic about in a lengthy statement to deadline Deadline saying both productions were "romanticising my torture and rape".
"It's no secret that I was abducted, raped, and tortured at 19," she said in a statement.
"What followed was a series of events that were the direct result of a child having been destroyed both inside and out."
She said it was a story she had herself told "many times', and that the new shows were "attempting to rewrite history and directly flies in the face of the present #MeToo movement where so much progress is being made in regard to listening, and providing a voice, to those who have suffered abuse".
Hearst said at the end of her statement: "I have grown well past the 19-year old me and gone on to become a proud wife, mother, and grandmother. I have no interest in revisiting such a violent and hurtful time in my life."
In the wake of her statement, Fox axed it's planned biopic.
KIDNAPPED, SHE JOINED HER CAPTORS
Hearst grew up in the media spotlight thanks to her wealthy, high-profile family.
But she went from privileged rich kid to headline-grabbing kidnapped kid with her 1974 kidnapping by (SLA).
The 19-year-old Berkeley student was abducted at gunpoint from her home, and would later testify in court she was blindfolded, threatened with death tied up and locked in a cupboard for 58 days.
Allowed out for meals, still blindfolded, she said she was given SLA political manifestos to learn. Eventually, the leader of her captors told her: the war council had decided or was thinking about killing me or me staying with them, and that I better start thinking about that as a possibility", she said.
To stay alive, she said, she "accommodated my thoughts to coincide with theirs" - telling the SLA she would join their fight.
Amid the weapons drills and teachings that followed, she said, her captors told her they thought she should "know what sexual freedom was like", and she was raped several times.
On April 3, 1974, two months into her disappearance, she announced via audiotape to the world she'd joined forces with her captors and kidnappers. Her new name, she said was Tania.
By April 15, "Tania" had been photographed robbing a San Francisco bank while brandishing an assault rifle.

She became a gun-wielding bank robber, joining her leftist guerrilla former captors in a crime spree which spanned almost 600 days.
The rich university student had turned armed terrorist and a fugitive wanted for serious crimes.
In September 1975, the FBI caught up with the then 21-year-old, arresting her for armed bank robbery in San Francisco.
As she was being booked, she listed her occupation as "Urban Guerrilla".
Hearst's trial loomed amid speculation that the Heart family's fortune and political clout would see her escape jail.
Some Americans believed she had willingly joined SLA, as the prosecution would attest during her trial, and SLA members would attest, saying she was a willing convert with contacts with the organisation well before her disappearance.

Others believed Hearst's defence that she was raped, abused and threatened with death, and had been an unwilling accomplice doing anything to stay alive. She'd been brainwashed..
She was found guilty of bank robbery in March 1976, and imprisoned for almost two years before then-President Jimmy Carter commuted her seven-year-sentence and freed her from jail.
In 2001, as he was leaving office, President Bill Clinton officially pardoned Hearst.
RELEASE, AND REBUILD
While Hearst has been released on bail pending an appeal ahead of her sentence being commuted, her powerful father hired dozens of bodyguards to protect her.
Two months after she was released from prison in 1979, she married one of them: policeman Bernard Lee Shaw.
The pair had two daughters, Gillian and Lydia Hearts-Shaw.
By 1981, Hearst had given her account of what happened in her memoir, Every Secret Thing, and set about rebuilding her life.
She became and actor, and high-profile charity fundraiser, and rising force in the East Coast society scene.
She took roles in four John Waters movies, and still walks the red carpet thanks to an acting career which has also included guest appearances on shows including Frasier, Veronica Mars, and The Adventures of Pete and Pete.
Hearst's greatest wish remains continuing to move on.
"Over the years I have been approached many times to discuss my ordeal, and I have answered many questions," she said in her scathing statement denouncing the CNN documentary.
"I have spoken the truth about my experience and even wrote a 499-page book where I lay it all out, as painful as it was to relive.
"Each time I do, it puts me back in the nightmare which, as you might imagine, is deeply painful.
"This is why for the last several years, I have declined to answer any more questions. It's very hard on me, and not something I want my daughters to be reminded of."
Her daughters are in the media spotlight on their own terms. Gillian is a contributing editor at Town & Country, while Lydia is an actor, lifestyle blogger, and model.
Hearst herself is often seen lavishing love on her beloved dogs at dog shows.
Last year, two of her charges, French Bulldogs Tuggy and Rubi, picked up prizes at the Westminster Dog Show, following in the tiny footsteps of her toy Shih tzu, Rocket, who picked up a ribbon in 2015.
Hearst says "as hard as it was to do, I have grown well past the 19-year old me and gone on to become a proud wife, mother, and grandmother".
"I have no interest in revisiting such a violent and hurtful time in my life," she says.
"Aren't we living in a better world than this? I sincerely hope the answer is a resounding 'Yes'.
"I am joyful and inspired by all of the women who have been brave enough to come forward with their truths."

1. There were four people making a royal mess in our house instead of six.
2. Marlboro Man was shorthanded all week.
3. Gender-wise, I was completely outnumbered.
4. We watched a lot of TV shows and movies involving warriors.
I am now ready for battle.
I really missed the girls, but I did get to enjoy spending some quality time with just the boys.
But why does everything always have to go back to muscles?
We shipped cattle all last week, which meant that every evening between seven and eight, my boys had to go get the horses and bring 'em to the barn.
Usually, their sisters would do this.
But their sisters weren't here, now, were they?
No, they weren't. There were new sheriffs in town.
I went along with the boys every time, but I decided just to sit in the passenger seat and remain completely passive. I wanted to watch them in action.
Plus, I really didn't feel like moving. It was hot.
So here's how the boys do things: the older one drives the pickup and starts pushing the horses toward the barn while the younger one hops out and pushes them on foot. Note: If you're going to try this, it's vitally important that you wear loafers.
Again, I didn't say or do anything…I just watched. The boys wanted to show me how they do things.
And you won't believe the tactic they employed.
It totally worked! If I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes, I never would have believed it.
And I never would have seen it if my girls hadn't gone to church camp.
I think the heat is affecting you Ree.
What a coincidence: I'm having a boys-only weekend with my son this coming Saturday. We'll also be herding livestock. And by "herding livestock," I mean "Going to a Phillies game." Same thing. Sort of.
Ree you are hilarious when you tell stories. As a mom of two boys myself, I love the posts about your boys.
I didn't know that the Babe trick worked with horses, too!
LOVE that movie! Love you pictures!
Hilarious! Love the Babe-action! So glad you had a fun week with your fellas!
Your boys are gorgeous, as always. Can't believe how tan, muscular, and grown-up they are getting! I have to ask, though; there seems to be a line down the middle of each photo…or is that a fancy new effect that I am not cool enough to know about? LOL! I hope it's the latter!
Special time with a fraction of the children is always so wonderful. I enjoy one-on-one's and even two-on-one's so much. The dynamics change drastically. It is treasured time for us all in my home!
That's one of our favorite movies evah. We just watched it again with our kids older and it still gets me every time.
That'll do Ree. That'll do just fine.
I can't believe how big the boy punks are getting! They still have their baby faces, though.
Hope the girls enjoyed church camp!
They have to be such fun kids…you can see it in their eyes.
Nothing like sweet, sweet brothers.
Yes! I can only say – that is so sweet and funny. Again, you and your family make me smile. And your children are lovely and helpful.
My boys would be totally jealous about the "driving the truck" part!
There's something so different and fun about young boys. I'm glad you got to see them in action.
Loved this post. Funny boys!
Boys have a different way of doing things, don't they? There must really be something different about men's and women's brains. Both genders get the work done, but rarely in the same way.
I only have boys, so moments like this are very familiar. It is always the younger one(s) who end up walking. The older one has to be in the truck or on the 4-wheeler. There are always muscles involved, whether they are 10 or 22, at some point they will find a reason to flex. When they need to make a quick exit from the house, any pair of shoes will do whether they are theirs or not. Whatever happens to be by the door. When they were little, sometimes they would throw on a pair of my old tennies, but now they wear size 12, 13 and 13.5, so Mom's old size 6s won't do anymore.
Enjoy these times, cherish every minute.
Love the speech bubble! It's almost like you have your own online scrapbook.


Not too long ago, processing and printing photographs required a considerable investment in equipment, dedicated space for a darkroom, and knowledge of photographic chemistry. For several decades, most photographers avoided making such an investment and instead confined their photographic process to exposing film and then outsourcing the tasks of development and printing to commercial providers. In doing so, photographers forfeited much control over the outcome.


Yesterday I posted some swatches at my nail blog of some new-to-me China Glaze purple shades that I think are just perfect for fall. Purple is a great shade for those that want to be a bit adventurous with their nail polish color, but don't want to go crazy with a color like blue or green.
So here's a few ideas for you, with three very different purples.
Each swatch is two coats, and I cannot get over how much I love all three- even though they are pretty different!
Royal Treasure - A light purple frost. I got good application with two thinner coats.
Draped in Velvet - Magenta with small blue and pink shimmers. Fabulous application.
Let's Groove - Deep purple with violet and red shimmer. Easy application.
Beauty Stop Online offers these shades for just $2.99. I'm planning a giveaway to post at my nail blog later this week, so I hope you can stop by and enter!
Disclosure: The nail polish swatched in this post were provided to me for review purposes.
Does your face get as red as mine when you run?
What Will I Be Watching?

Velasquez and Morgan battle for spot in Phillies rotation
Patrick Gordon, Managing Editor Wednesday, March 16, 2016 Phillies
By Patrick Gordon, Managing Editor , Wednesday, March 16, 2016 Labels: Phillies No comments

@PGordonPBR
CLEARWATER, Fla. - There's still a little more than two weeks before the Phillies break camp and open the regular season, yet the organization remains mum on the status of their starting rotation.
Four of the spots appear to be locked up with Aaron Nola, Jeremy Hellickson, Charlie Morton and Jerad Eickhof, but the actual order and the final rotation spot remain a question mark.
Entering camp, Vince Velasquez appeared to be a favorite to land a spot in the rotation, but Adam Morgan and Brett Oberholtzer are drawing attention with strong starts to the spring.
Morgan has surrendered just two runs over nine innings this spring. His 0.67 WHIP is a team best among starters. Oberholtzer has tossed eight scoreless innings and he's surrendered just one walk while collecting four strikeouts.
Compared to Morgan and Oberholtzer, Velasquez has the better stuff. He goes after hitters and has a fastball that routinely sits in the mid-90s. He has nine strikeouts in nine innings this spring, though he has surrendered four runs on 10 hits.
Oberholtzer has experience coming out of the bullpen, so he may end up there to open the season, meaning Morgan and Velasquez are likely battling for a final rotation spot.
Velasquez is scheduled to pitch on Thursday against Tampa Bay while Morgan is set to pitch on Friday against Pittsburgh. Both guys will be expected to go at least four innings, so we'll see what can separate the two for a slot in the rotation.
Depending on how the Phillies shuffle their staff, a fifth starter may not be needed until March 13th at home against San Diego.
The Phillies are halfway through the Grapefruit League schedule and are carrying an 11-4-2 record.
"I know they're Spring Training games," Phillies general manager Matt Klentak said Tuesday morning at Bright House Field, "but I've been very encouraged by the way Pete [Mackanin] has guys playing. The energy, the effort and the outcomes. We've won a lot of games this spring, and that's been a really positive thing for us."
The Rays visit on Thursday with Velasquez set to start.

The Care Quality Commission inspects care in hospitals, care homes, dentists, GP practices and other services, including those provided in people's own homes, and their findings are published on their website and in their inspection reports.
Most health and social care providers are inspected every year or every other year and the CQC re-inspect services that aren't meeting government standards, or where there are concerns about poor care. All of the inspections are unannounced unless there is a good reason for the CQC to let the service know they are coming.
Look for evidence that the service isn't meeting government standards.
Sometimes the inspectors are accompanied by an Expert by Experience (a person who has experience of receiving care) who also talks to patients.
Scheduled: these are unannounced inspections that focus on a minimum of five of the government standards, and they're also tailored to the type of care that is provided at the service.
Responsive: these are unannounced inspections that are carried out where there are concerns about poor care.
Themed: these inspections focus on specific standards of care or care services.
The inspectors judge whether or not services are meeting the government standards. If the service is not meeting the standards, the inspector will decide whether there is a minor, moderate, or major impact on people who use it, and they may decide to take Enforcement action.
You can see whether or not a care service is meeting the government standards by visiting its profile page on the CQC website at www.cqc.org.uk. The standards are grouped under five headings, with a green tick or a grey cross beside it, which is updated every time a new report is published.


When I started my doctoral candidature, I got the library to do a search to see if any doctoral dissertations had been written in my subject area. They found three: one from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; one from Emory University; and one from St Andrew's University. I decided that the St Andrew's one was not sufficiently interesting for me to be bothered going through the procedure needed to sight it. We had to borrow it on interlibrary loan and I had to sign a declaration saying that I would neither remove it from the library nor photocopy it; I could only have it for a relatively short period and that period included the postage time to and from Scotland. I must add that this was a number of years ago and St Andrew's may have changed their policy since then. Emory already had theirs microfilmed and happily posted me a printout at a reasonable cost. Southwestern needed to photocopy their original but once they had worked out how to allow me to pay them from outside the US, they did the copying speedily and again at a very reasonable price. I got both of them softbound, skimmed them and then put them aside until I needed them for detailed text work.
I've just started working with them and am finding that they provide quite detailed information about the state of play of scholarship up to the first half of the 1960s – both were examined in 1965. I assume this is because there was a limited amount of material written at that stage, so they could describe it in more detail without exceeding the word limit. I am also in awe of the task that must have been involved in producing a thesis in the era before computers.
Hollie L. Briscoe's "A Comparison of the Parables in the Gospel According to Thomas and the Synoptic Gospels" (PhD, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, 1965) begins with the assumption that Gos Thom is a Gnostic adaptation of the Synoptics and unfortunately has a rather mechanistic approach to demonstrating that this is true. Any word or phrase that can be used in a Gnostic sense he claims as Gnostic and further proof of his claim, even though all his examples can be used in other ways as well. It's not dissimilar to the approach taken by a number of other early Thomas scholars and I don't find it particularly compelling. That aside, however, he provides useful summaries of the scholarship at the time, and a helpful bibliography. Theologically, I sometimes find it uncomfortable, but that is not particularly surprising given where it comes from. He nevertheless demonstrates the difference in emphasis between Thomas and the Synoptics effectively. My copy is now bristling with labelled sticky notes so I can find the necessary sections quickly as I address particular pieces of text. I appreciated his decision to transliterate all words that needed to be written in a non-English script, given the limitations of the manual typewriter that was used to produce the thesis. I also appreciate the footnotes which must have driven his typist demented!!!
I find John Bunyan Sheppard's "A Study of the Parables Common to the Synoptic Gospels and the Coptic Gospel of Thomas" (PhD, Emory University, 1965) theologically more comfortable, but I do wish he'd decided to transliterate the Greek and Coptic rather than painstakingly hand writing slabs of both languages in a hand that would not have got him a job as a community scribe or in a scriptorium in earlier times. Again, he provides detailed summaries of the scholarship of the time and because of the way he's divided the texts I can use the index to find the bits that interest me, which is better than sticky notes. On the other hand, unlike Briscoe, Sheppard has gone for end notes, which means sticky notes at the back so I can find the relevant notes reasonably quickly.
If, like me, you are interested in the specific parables that Thomas has in common with the Synoptics, both these dissertations are worth looking at, even though thought about them has moved on since 1965.

Q: Firebase: Listening to multiple user nodes I'm working on an app using Firebase and Geofire. On running the Geo query at the current location, let's say I receive 10 keys in the OnKeyEntered override method. Each of these keys is essentially a user node in Firebase. I need to listen to each of the user in the query area for any data change so that I can show updates on the map in realtime.
Currently, I'm adding a ValueEventListener for every key entered but I'm not sure if starting so many listeners at the same time is good idea. The users in the query area can potentially be more than 50. That means I could have 50 open listeners!
Is there a better way to go about it? I was trying to figure out a firebase query to filter on only the geo query keys but was unsuccessful.
Any help would be great!

A: Listeners are not computationally expensive, unless you have one that's going to be triggered very frequently because the data it's listening to is changing often.
Don't fall into the trap of optimizing your code before you actually observe a need to optimize it.  When you see that performance is poor, that's the time to make optimizations.  If you need a bunch of listeners to get your work done, go ahead and do that.  Just know what your practical upper bound it, and be sure to test that upper bound for problems.

Taste the seasons at the star of Lahti
Located 100 kilometres from Helsinki the town of Lahti can be reached by train in less than one hour, and Roux, a charming family restaurant, is the main attraction for many visitors. The French tradition is obvious from the name of the place, but most of the ingredients they use are carefully selected from domestic suppliers with consideration for the season. In late April asparagus plays a major role. Fans of that seasonal delicacy can enjoy it in an amuse-bouche mousse, in a soup with morsels of smoked salmon and even for dessert in a posset with pickled strawberries. There are many other delicacies, including fish and game. A farmed whitefish from Bothnia Bay could not have tasted better with spring potatoes and garnished with anchovy crème. Chef Sami Häkkinen has good connections with producers up north, so reindeer is always on the menu, now as a tender fillet and hearty blood sausage. Roux is proud of their wine selection. Though they are open on the weekends, they do not have a lunch menu. In a way it is a pity, because this old chemist's shop with its attractive traditional interior is practically made for brunching, which is still a rarity in Finland. The service is friendly, efficient and dedicated...

Edie Windsor Documentary 'To A More Perfect Union' Screening Nationwide
On Top Magazine Staff
The Edie Windsor documentary To a More Perfect Union: United States v. Windsor is currently screening nationwide.
The film chronicles Edie Windsor's legal battle to have her Canadian marriage to Thea Spyer recognized by the U.S. federal government.
Director Donna Zaccaro's powerful film opened on June 7. The movie's website helps people find a nearby screening.
Spyer died in 2009, two years after the women married in Canada. Windsor challenged the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which prohibited the federal government from recognizing the couple's marriage, after she received a $363,000 estate tax bill following Spyer's death.
The 2013 Supreme Court ruling that struck down a key provision of DOMA is also credited with providing the legal framework for 2015's landmark ruling in Obergefell, which found that gay couples have a constitutional right to marry.
The film includes interviews with Windsor's attorney Roberta Kaplan, journalists Frank Rich and Nina Totenberg, marriage equality advocate Evan Wolfson and Windsor herself.
Windsor died last year. She was 88.

Q: jQuery append blob to serialize data I have this code:
var blob= base64ToBlob(cover, 'image/jpg');
var data = $(this).serializeArray();

How can  I append blob value to serializeArray()?
I've tried using data.push(blob, blob), when server receive the value is empty.
Any solution?

$('#form').on('submit', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var avatar = $('.avatar-editor').cropit('export');
    var cover = $('.cover-editor').cropit('export');

    var avatarContent = replace64(avatar);
    var avatarBlob = base64ToBlob(avatarContent, 'image/jpg');

    var coverContent = replace64(cover);
    var coverBlob = base64ToBlob(coverContent, 'image/jpg');

    var formData = new FormData($(this)[0]);
    formData.append(avatar, avatarBlob);
    formData.append(cover, coverBlob);

    var url = '/people';

    axios.post(url, formData)
        .then(function (response) {
            $.ladda('stopAll');

            var data = response.data;
            if (data.code == 200) {
                location.reload();
                return true;
            }

            swal(data.error.title, data.error.message, 'error');

        })
        .catch(function (response) {
            $.ladda('stopAll');
        })
});

When submit yes there is avatar and cover but the value is empty.
Here is my blob function
function replace64(image) {
    return image.replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpg);base64,/, "");
}

function base64ToBlob(base64, mime) {
    mime = mime || '';
    var sliceSize = 1024;
    var byteChars = window.atob(base64);
    var byteArrays = [];

    for (var offset = 0, len = byteChars.length; offset < len; offset += sliceSize) {
        var slice = byteChars.slice(offset, offset + sliceSize);

        var byteNumbers = new Array(slice.length);
        for (var i = 0; i < slice.length; i++) {
            byteNumbers[i] = slice.charCodeAt(i);
        }

        var byteArray = new Uint8Array(byteNumbers);

        byteArrays.push(byteArray);
    }

    return new Blob(byteArrays, {type: mime});
}

On my server using Laravel 5.3 only simple return to see the data on my console:

Conference Board notes disconnect between C-level and continuity efforts
The most influential executives are the least supportive, while the most supportive are the least influential; Conference Board cites metrics as a major area for improvement
Let us hope continuity of business will remain a viable enterprise, for if not the survey and polling industry is certain to go bankrupt. Continuity, unlike other homeland security sectors, does not rely as much on impressive new technology as it does a shift in attitudes and priorities, and so we often report on what "they" are saying out there rather than what it is they are actually doing. Take as an example the latest numbers from New York City-based Conference Board, the business membership and research group.
A survey of 213 senior executives not directly involved in security affairs at their respective companies found a "strong disconnect between the level of support for security initiatives and the level of influence over security policy within the companies surveyed. In general, the most supportive executives were not the most influential, and the most influential executives (senior C-suite managers) were not the most supportive." The problem, it seems, is that while most senior executives have little day-to-day responsibility for security issues, security "is an area with a lot of dotted-line relationships" — meaning that executives often have to be involved despite their lack of authority over the matter.
One other concern: few metrics exist with which to judge the effectiveness of continuity regimes, and those that do rarely meet the high standards which business executives demand from other company projects. "Unfortunately, the measures available for analyzing the effectiveness of corporate security tend to be much less sophisticated than those that have been developed for other corporate functions such as finance, human resources, and information technology," says Thomas Cavanagh of the Conference Board. The most helpful metrics were the cost of business interruption, cited by 64 percent of executives; vulnerability assessments (60 percent); and benchmarking against industry standards (49 percent).

Lewis Hamilton Unhappy With Ferrari After British Grand Prix
July 13, 2018 by Jennie Martin
Lewis Hamilton, driver for the Mercedes AMG Petronas, managed to grab the pole position at the 10th race of the 2018 season which took place at Silverstone, but he didn't maintain the position for long after the 52-lap race had begun.
Sebastian Vettel, who was driving for Ferrari, overtook Hamilton not long after the race had started, and Valtteri Bottas was the next to pass Hamilton to grab second place. Other Ferrari start driver, Kimi Raikkonen was the next to try and overtake Hamilton in a move to take third place.
As Raikkonen was attempting the pass, he made contact with Hamilton's Ferrari, sending Hamilton spinning out and stopping in front of the crowd. The mishap forced Hamilton back to 18th place, and in a car that Hamilton said was more damaged than the Ferrari team was willing to let on.
The incident resulted in a 10 second penalty for Raikkonen, which he served waiting in the pits. Hamilton continued on, and thanks to his tyre strategy and two safety car periods, Hamilton eventually made it to second place by the end of the race, just 2.264 seconds behind Vettel, with Raikkonen coming in third.
Hamilton was displeased with Raikkonen's actions, and he went on to tell reporters that this was the second incident caused by Ferrari drivers in the last few races, and that Ferrari needed to position themselves better in the races, saying that it was difficult to keep track of the red cars.
