I guess that answers our questions. Looks like no grid penalty.

 

Not really surprising is it.

 

Not really worthy of a penalty.

Only reason anyone would care is because it's Hamilton. Nobody has anything to say about Button and whomever else it was

 

None of the three deserved a penalty so the outcome was good.

 

+1

He did an instalation lap on one set and then they changed to another. What could he have gained? They removed the set that got a lap so he's down that set should it rain.

 

Blame the ****** RD and the McLaren team. NOT LH!!! He didn't deserve a penalty.

 

I honestly don't know what to say, just because I guess I am somewhat bias and already sick from this year's BS.
However, everyone always compares the greats with LH and there is always the valid argument that they did few unsportsmanlike things in their careers. But is it just me or the Hamster really was involved in more controversial moments this year than Schumacher had during his entire career?
If this was Schumi Flavio would be pacing the pits beaching in every camera he saw how this can not be allowed, Keke would say that Schumacher has fallen to a new low, Alonshole would have said that F1 is no longer a sport and McCheaters would have appealed. But then again it is Goldenboy&co, so the rules I guess are flexible.

 

+1

no idea what silly rules they were.

 

Rules are rules. What they could have gained? Information about which kind of tires works best? One lap is enough to determine that. Taking away one set isn't going to hurt them either because in wet races you don't use that many sets. Also who makes the decision which set is taken away - the full wets or the normal ones? McLaren?

This reeks of favoritism. The Ferraris were severely punished for a similar mistake which was caused by the FIA/stewards itself in Japan. Talk about two different sets of rules.

 

a big +1...

 

The FIA are favouring Mclaren? Are you really really saying that?

 

Big surprise! Between safety car help, crane help and knowledge of Ferrari brake system, Kimi may not have a chance ....
Actually I am not sad about no penalty. I want to see a great race between all four cars up front.

 

If they had the balls they would have banned McLaren and their drivers from the championship. Letting them continue is the biggest form of favoritism I can think of.

p.s. If it was Ferrari in the same position as McLaren I would have said the same.

 

Your barking up the wrong tree ..Think Bernie, fans, racing, people watching TV.

 

I know all that. Well, the Bernie part at least. The FIA nor Bernie give a **** about racing or spectators. Maybe Alonso was right when he said F1 isn't a sport anymore.

 

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

like most of your posts its "just you"
