Stop and go 10 sec? Are they crazy? Kimi was ahead of max and the yellows didnt last a lap. Maximum 5 sec, even that would be outrageous

[jgonzalesm6]

Kimi 10sec stop go penalty

[mizf1]

Km pits

[458 Italia]

There is zero consistency from the stewards and the penalties!

[vcs316]

That's essentially an extra pit stop Kimi Raikkonen is going to have to make.

His response to that penalty?

"What do you mean? He [Verstappen] was on the side of the road!"

[mwk360]

i think hamilton made a mistake on that lap

[stefa]

KR didn't slow...

[Greig]

Kimi should know better, double yellows and he did not lift at all.

[458 Italia]

Bah! he didn't lift one bit.

[mwk360]

hamilton now increasing the gap

[IulianFerrari]

Imagine if it was Hamilton. There is no way on earth they would have given him 10 sec, putting my house on that

[Christopher]

Verstappin car miles away 5 sec pen at most

[mwk360]

top 3 will 1 stop by the looks off it Zzzz

[FerrariF60]

Kimi should know better, double yellows and he did not lift at all.

totally agree

[mwk360]

Imagine if it was Hamilton. There is no way on earth they would have given him 10 sec, putting my house on that

they would've given him a trophy and medal

Double yellows, have we learned nothing from Bianchi? Kimi should have lifted

[Scuderia85]

SV in saving mode

[Christopher]

Double yellows, have we learned nothing from Bianchi? Kimi should have lifted

Yes he should but a 30 second penalty is way to harsh

[mizf1]

What is the gap back to bottas?

[458 Italia]

At least they're not using the stupid time added on penalty today.

[da_one]

Wow! Just wow. A brain fart by Kimi. Im afraid that ends his podium finish charge.

Vettel is still in it. Hope Ham will destroy his tires.

Let's go Seb!

[mwk360]

no worries on radio from hamilton, i guess he is happy now

[KimiBot]

1.1 s behind now

[vcs316]

Grosjean is still reminding Haas of Perez's failure to give the place back.

So he'll be happy to see Perez handed a five-second stop/go penalty.

[mwk360]

What is the gap back to bottas?

last i saw was 6s i think

[Kristof_F40]

Unreal..
PER can put OCO in the wall, nothing said. Kimi doesn't slow down for yellows: 10s stop and go..
That's the most severe penalty apart from DSQ

[vcs316]

"No more radio, the rest of this race!," says Fernando Alonso.

Ouch...

The Spaniard is currently 15th, and doesn't want to be updated about his car or indeed his rivals. A lonely afternoon awaits...

[Red is Best]

Alonso

[mizf1]

Ric matching the top 3 times, i wonder if hamilton is trying to back vettel into Bottas

[vcs316]

Raikkonen has taken sixth from Ocon, making it through comfortably before the Bus Stop. Next up is Hulkenberg, 5.2s ahead.
