So Ferrari has the right to appeal the decision.
First this was a normal racing incident. Seb’s car got out of shape and the only thing he was doing was trying not to crash. Second Hamilton saw the entire thing and could have backed off, he’s lucky he didn’t get wrecked out of the race. Third I don’t believe there should have been a penalty but if your going to give one why not just say Seb has to give up the position to Hamilton and then it’s an exciting fight to the finish? Why is it a 5 second penalty?
Whilst I don’t like Seb and shock horror support Hamilton, that was a BS penalty of the 1st order. Basic racing incident, Sed was a passenger. The fact that he cracked under pressure is besides the point. Predictable you are all whining at Hamilton and not the stewards. If Hamilton has gotten taken out that would have been his own fault as he saw the whole thing and could have backed out, instead he tried his luck; as most any racing driver would.
5 second penalty because by the time it would be handed down it would’ve been too late. Hamilton requesting the stewards to look into is an immediate reaction every driver does. Send does it too any chance he gets. Hamilton won the race because Seb made an error forced by having to push all race. It’s over and time to move on to silver stone?
Lewis overshot earlier on, why does nobody say he cracked under pressure? They both did mistakes because both where actually racing... for the first time real racing this season and instead of being happy that this happens the Stewards destroy it handing another victory to Mercedes and Lewis on the green table. Why not simply handing both trophies to them at the beginning of the season and let the others race for the podium, this would be at least honest.... Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
if you look at the race, ALL the cars and Ham so, pass out of the track in this turn. So, how can Seb, espacially this time force Ham to pass out ???
Want Seb to bounce back from this and the Scuderia. Forza Ferrari, Forza Seb. Grande driving today! First GP I enjoyed watching start to (almost) finish, so I am hoping I get to enjoy a full race through to chequered flag before season’s end... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
They left Leclerc out too long again. "We were hoping for a safety car that never came." Sheesh. Disappointed they never bothered to move the McLaren off the pit exit.
Folks, the disappointment is palpable. There's no reason for us to go after each other. My biggest beef is that this can't be appealed. The stewards made a decision under pressure. A review board might think differently.
First, HAMILTON was on the radio right away calling for a Penalty. His comments about not wanting to win that way are ridiculous. Second, VETTEL acted like a little kid on a temper tantrum instead of a world champion. Third, the Stewards were idiots. You penalize someone for doing something wrong. Vettel did nothing wrong.
Hamilton cannot pass on a track renowned for plentiful passing opportunities in a superior car with the engine upgrades turned up, just sayin...
Breaking news : Toto Wolf has asked to FIA 50s bonus for Bottas because he consider not acceptable not to be 1 and 2 !!
The Season isn't even half over and Hamilton and Mercedes have already won. I blame Ferrari and Vettel but for sure, the fix was in today.
The good news is that we led the entire race and would have won. All the teams will be upping their game and Ferrari needs to do the same. If we can maintain this edge we will have a great season regardless of the championships.
