Vettel was robbed. Since Elkann failed with the merger he should grow some balls and pull Ferrari out of F1 in protest.
and people wonder why Hamilturd is hated so much on this forum his comments to Brundle were pathetic and the crocodile tears from the Poms is disgusting
Vettel's former Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber agreed and described the penalty as "mental". "Any of the stewards ever raced at the front in F1? I didn’t watch the race...have now seen the 'incident'. Mental penalty," he wrote on social media. Ferrari have lodged their intention to appeal the penalty, though it's not certain the FIA will allow the appeal to go ahead as the rules stipulate such a penalty cannot be retroactively amended.

Be mad at the F1/stewards - Hamilton certainly didn't nothing wrong (other than pressurizing Vettel that forced his mistake in the first place)
He moved his car off track and bitched on the radio. Lewis milked the penalty like Naymar milks penalties.
'Off track'? There's a wall there. He had to get on the brakes hard to avoid Vettel, and rightly complained about it, as all drivers would do when the get squeezed as a result of someone else's mistake. There was no milking.
How do you know how hard he had to brake? He saw the whole thing hairiness in front of him and would have known exactly where physics was sending Vettel. He "backed out" no heavy braking involved. Ridiculous comments. Thanks moretti
Watch the onboard - this all unfolded very quickly, and Hamilton absolutely had to avoid an accident. There was zero opportunity to duck to the inside as Vettel suggested. Whether he backed off on had to brake - we'd need the telemetry to see. The severity of the penalty is absolutely debatable...but to suggest this situation had anything to do with Hamilton is not.
See the white line, that's off track At no point was he side by side with Vettel. Image Unavailable, Please Login 100% milking it.
This was never a question about corner rights (who was ahead at what point) but about slewing onto the racing line (either intentionally or unintentionally) after rejoining the track, going a speed ~60kph slower. This is 100% Seb's driving error - and zero to do with Lewis. He was put in position to avoid and accident and lost out because of it. Again, the penalty is debatable. To criticize Lewis driving in this circumstance...not reasonable.
