So true RLF1Brits_90 not only do we only see cars fighting but we don't care who builds the car either. If you'd switched Red Bull, Ferrari and Merc for Prema, Campos and Carlin everyone would still have been on the edge of their seats.
What "RL" stands for, Brad?So true RL
Interesting decision. I can see the argument that both Canada and this incident was illegal. I can also see the argument that neither Canada nor this incident were illegal. I am not sure I can see the argument that Canada was illegal and this was legal. I definitely cannot see the argument that Canada was legal and this was illegal.
One thing that bugged me silly this weekend and it was highlighted by how good the racing was is how bad the coverage of it was.
I hope that they have seen the light and going forward they will allow those guys to race
IMHO the stewards made the right call yesterday, Verstappen shouldn't have been penalized.
I am also speechless at Hamilton's penalty for his misunderstanding with Kimi on Saturday, IMHO he shouldn't have been penalized
Having said that I think that the stewards were wrong with both Vettel in Canada and Ricciardo in France, I hope that they have seen the light and going forward they will allow those guys to race
I was in Londiunium for the week end and I watched the race on Ch4.... I just can't quite understand why they waste so much time before and after the race with stuff other than the racing, they should show the whole race and not only a bits here and there rather than some silly interviews.
Sadly Publius Cornelius Scipio it's all in the contract with Sky. Channel 4 are only contractlly able to show 1 hour of race footage. They are not allowed to do a grid walk and may only interview in the round with all the other TV companies. This restricts the amount they can show 'as live' in a two hour slot.
Yea, I am not sure they have resolved all their rule problems. Now....is it OK to dive deep into a corner and push the outside car off the track? I have not gone through all the rulings related to those types of incidents in the last few years, but suspect that had been penalized before.
Seriously I hope that this time they have realised that they need consistency
There was an unwritten rule that first corner incidents of that nature would not be penalised, due to how manic starts are.How does it work on the first lap?
Maybe they considered last Canada and Austria incidents as totally dissimilar, and therefore not judged by the same measures. It would nice therefore for FiA to explain basis for those two decisions, and how they differ from each other, because these kind of things go beyond "nothing to see here, move on", as someone suggested on this forum already.
