Why should have Hamilton received a penalty as the telemetry showed he did not brake at all...he lilfted and Vettel was to close, not paying attention and accelerated into him.

I'm old school anyway, as the saying goes if you ain't cheating you ain't trying. Tell me of one great or multiple champion that doesn't have their own dirty little tricks. Hell Vettel has received many penalties in the past and or crashed out because of his aggressiveness. Alonso is right there too but he ain't got a car that makes it worth his while. I like both those guys. Come on now...racing is rubbing!!!

Ok, if he didn't actually hit the brakes, he doesn't deserve a penalty. But how many car lengths is he supposed to be behind the safety car? Cause the safety car was a full two turns ahead of him several times during yellow cautions - his own team even had to say something to him.

That more the question to me...they had told him during the previous caution that he was to close to the safety car on the restart and that he needed to be further behind at least ten car links! He did what they asked...

Actually he was told both that he was too close and too far at different points during the race.

Hotrodz 06-27-2017 10:46 AM

Agreed! So what's a guy to do? The best thing for me too win!

The reality is Hamilton received the ultimate penalty as Vettel gained 3 more points and the penalty he deserved should have taken him out of gaining any points.

Stewart defends Vettel's 'inappropriate behaviour' | PlanetF1 : PlanetF1


I agree with Jackie Stewart, they both should deserve a penalty, and while everyone's attention is being drawn to Vettel's childish behavior, nobody cares who initiated the incident.

Quoted:

“It would be very simple to put the complete blame on one man, but what initiated the bad behaviour was what happened before.”



and while this can be an ongoing talks with no end...


we should move on to the next race, Austria...


Honda to bring 'Spec 3' PU to Austrian GP - GPUpdate.net


Hopefully they will improve... :icon17:

Apparently Jean Todt is considering bringing Vettel before an FIA tribunal. He needs those points removed. The FIA stripped Schumacher of his 2nd place in the final standings when he deliberately ran into Villenueve at the '97 Spanish GP. So there is precedent. Granted that was at racing speed so much more serious. What is obvious is that Vettel has learned well from his hero. At least Schumacher wasn't such a cry baby.

What's a guy to do? Ask Ricciardo!!!

I thought it was hilarious when they went to his mic and he was chuckling. WTF? I won?
Total opposite of last year's Monaco blunder.

Lol, I was cracking up when that happened. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time. How can you like him and he is a example of a great driver but no wold champion caliber because he races like his personality. That being said there not many current race car drivers with as many wins as him!

And his plans to spread "Athletes Mouth" to obtain world domination is brilliant.

I love it when Hamilton loses a race! And you know it will be a great race when he's not in the lead as this last one was. I'm just tired of seeing Mercedes team drivers winning because they have a faster car than everyone else. All those rules and Mercedes still manages to have some unknown speed advantage.

it is "funny" because after so many years on the so-called cutting-budget and try the make the field an even ground...

big teams still have a big leading gap and small teams are still 2 laps behind.

remember those days when people complains about the big teams always have tons of money to spend on extra sets of tires, tons of spare engines, 3rd chassis, extra testing cos they have extra fundings.... blah blah blah..

then FIA and F1 build those rules on limited tires, chassis, limited testings...

however, the situation doesn't seems to be changing alot....

The money isn't being spent on quantity of spare parts now, but the quality (engineering). Same gobs of money being spent by the top teams.
