Time for the FIA to make an example of Vettel?

This is precisely why the FIA should have stayed out of this. They will look so ridiculous if they decide to hand down a punishment which then gets appealed and which ends up at the UN for final final decisions before being escalated to The All Seeing Eye for final final final decision before an appeal is lodged with the Pope. It's pointless.

 

LOL, agreed

BTW: It seems like you simplified the process somewhat. There are more steps involved...

 

If VET gets another penalty he should have hit the guy harder....

 

No further action taken dated July 3, 2017

Sanity prevails...

 

Tempest in a teapot

 

No further penalty for Vettel from FIA over Hamilton Baku incident - F1 - Autosport

 

It was stupid from the start. He was penalized.

A wonderful and interesting non event - event that kept F1 in the news and fans talking between races. "Mission Accomplished" for Liberty and the promotions for the next few races LOL

 

Seems like the wanted to squeeze an apology from him

 

No further punishment. The right decision.

 

Agreed. But you know how bureaucrats are. Given them an excuse to do something and they leap at the chance.

 

Bloody joke, shouldn't have had to have a hearing to work out no action was necessary. Typical FIA bull****

 

You have to prove you're still relevant somehow.

 

The FIA come down hard on Vettel:

The right outcome. Now let's get back to racing!

 

Good result, but never should have gone as far as it did.

 

I think this was the key - post-race when Vettel pretended not to know what the penalty was for, he pissed off the FIA. They wanted an acknowledgement and apology for the deliberate bump with Hamilton. Vettel could have avoided all this by admitting he bumped Hamilton in the heat of the moment and apologized... it didn't take a genius to figure out what the FIA wanted.

Glad they settled with this and no further penalty. Now, on to Austria!!!

 

Someone's upset.

 

Who? Jean Todt? If that's who you meant, is that a surprise?

 

Would help if I attached the pic:

LH fanboys are really losing their minds over this. Pretty funny.

 

Is that Twitter or what? So why do we care if "tillykeeper_zackfan" is upset? I'm sure there are plenty of rabid fans who would be upset at whatever decision was made, depending on who they support. And, again, why do we care if they put hashtags on their post?

I definitely have zero skills on social media - I certainly have no idea if LH fanboys are upset!

 

Looks like an Instagram post. I think what Bas is alluding to is that Hamilton himself liked that post. LH is obviously pissed
