I shall also address the elephant in the room. I can't help but feel that if this penalty had been applied to Vettel for the Austrian race that this post would never have seen the light of day.
That's rubbish.
The issue is real. It's costing F1 viewership and fans. People don't understand it. People want to see drivers compete without any of the bull.
BTW Vettel is going to suffer from this more than Hamilton. He's already on his 4th turbocharger and it's getting old. He's going to have multiple grid penalties this year. I doubt Hamilton will have any more.
