Sebastian Vettel has been given a reprimand for being late to the front of the grid for the Japanese National Anthem.
Nope, it's the result of being in the best car, and having the absolute favouritism of his team. If Nico wasn't his match, he'd have one more too...... just as well rosberg was able to battle back against the favouritism last year and beat him. Put him in a car that is merely fast, he wouldn't have the race intelligence to win championships with it, nor the composure if there was any pressure at all, evidenced by his frequent mental break downs when being beaten by rosberg, bottas, and even lowly judged (by many here) massa
Shows just how little liberty/FIA understand about the average race fan, we couldn't give a **** about national anthems, why don't they put more effort into allowing teams to take new parts when needed without fear of grid penalties so we get real and proper racing, or allowing testing so new parts don't fail on the ****ing starting grid or within a few yards of it. Robbed of yet another championship battle, that's far mor important than not turning up to listen to some non-descript artist singing an anthem
So, Ferrari fails again. That isn't so bad but I have to listen to NBC's love affair with McLaren and spin of Lance Stroll (who once again was badly beaten by the guy he was supposed to replace).
The FIA "reprimand" of Vettel: "We are really, really angry with you and we are going to write a very, very strong letter about it."
