Vettel's been reprimanded and 25K fine. His first reprimand of the season btw. Meaningless ofcourse, and FIA did take in account special circumstances. I for one loved it.
+1 they should let them celebrate. Its what fans like and deserve. He should appeal the fine on grounds of useless stupidity!
I reckon he should pay it in cash, in the lowest coin denominations he can find and dump it in sacks on the FIA doorstep...
I heard of a new arrangement Red Bull has made for Webber's departure: gardening leaves midway through the races. Meanwhile someone's now laughing at Magneti Marelli after the bad PR last year and following change to Renault's own alternators. I bet they are doing something shady with those things.
mid season tyre change and development helped redbull to dominate as being said by newey himself, what a load of crap but who doesnt know that
Other teams were vocal as well. Becareful what you wish for. Beyond that Red Bull developed their car better as well. No fault at all on Red Bull. They played and drove to win. If this was Ferrari there would be silence about a tire change.
Vettel is actually helping the team pack up. Don't think any other driver does this...especially one that's just won the title! Apparently they're flying back to Zurich tonight and party tomorrow...
https://twitter.com/Julien_FEBREAU/status/394473607222820864 Kimi and Permane had ''verbal tussle''. I want to see this **** on camera! lol
Seriously what a boring season this has been. I hope we never see another one like this. It's not just that RB won every race so easily. It's that even in their team, Vettel was hardly ever challenged all season long. The comment today "why does this always happen to Weber" is pretty prolific. Makes you wonder.
Nice!n Im not sure Kimi was being completely ignorant about Grosjean, he was fighting but Im sure he knew the state of his machine and how much quicker others were approaching him. Kimi back at Ferrari for me is a serious non event.
Kimi said he was going to let him pass but not in the fast section where Permane came on the radio. The team know, Kimi has told them countless times in the past that they shouldn't talk to him in parts where he's concentrating. Then Permane comes and shout on the radio in the high speed corners... Grosjean's pass round the outside was perhaps optimistic, Kimi had NO tires left and no brakes. Oh well.
Full interpretation of what Kimi said on the radio: Don't shout, xxxx, don't give me driving course, will let him by when I can,.. (something something fast corners)
More comedy from Lotus: They worked out (during the race) that their car can do 45 laps on the tires. Kimi was on a 2 stop but the team suddenly decided that ''they should try something different'' with him. Straight from Davide Valsecci. Somewhere around lap 40 Kimi even asked ''to do something'' as the tires wouldn't last. Unbelievable.
