20 second penalty

**Greig** · 10th April 2011, 13:00

for moving more than once when defending....

**LeonKennedy** · 10th April 2011, 13:00

So my view of the video was indeed interesting, wasn't it? haha

**Alonsomaniac** · 10th April 2011, 13:00

Huh?
Penalty?
For Lewis?

The man never gets penalties!
And now today, where I didn't even think he should be penalized, he get's a penalty??

**Grillo** · 10th April 2011, 13:03

Not when they crashed, I think he did it on the straight, at least that's what I thought when watching it.

**Katu** · 10th April 2011, 13:04

i am speachless... too bad none of our drivers benefit from that

**LeonKennedy** · 10th April 2011, 13:04

Source? There's nothing on Autosport site / forums

**elekvault** · 10th April 2011, 13:04

Link or it didn't happen!

Seriously, I can't find this news anywhere on the net, where did you read that?

**Greig** · 10th April 2011, 13:05

Thanks for the heads up.

Two less points for Lewis. Not that it worries me though. Vettel is who should worry us.

**Katu** · 10th April 2011, 13:08

did the FIA reprimand counter got enough now?

**LeonKennedy** · 10th April 2011, 13:09

20 sec penalty for Alonso too, but mantains position as Lewis has a penalty, lol

**Greig** · 10th April 2011, 13:09

Alonso also given 20 second penalty

LOL

**evo_spook** · 10th April 2011, 13:09

is fia playing games

ALonso 20 sec penalty

**Greig** · 10th April 2011, 13:10

Can't make that up really lol

**Hermann** · 10th April 2011, 13:11

What did the stewards drink? Alcohol should not be allowed in the stewards room.

LOL and over at Autosport they were already saying Ferrari International assistance prior to Alonso's penalty

**evo_spook** · 10th April 2011, 13:12

Both decisions touch and go.

Lewis on the straight, give or take either way

Alonso, racing incident

What the issue is, why do they allow Vettel to do the chop and weive at starts and also several other crashes and touches that pass without incident

**LeonKennedy** · 10th April 2011, 13:12

Alonso's one is a joke. It was a race incident.

Hamilton's one is fair as he already had a reprimand for weaving at Petrov..

don't know, they gave buemi stop&go for speeding in pitlane, don't remember seeing so harsh penalty for speeding

The Ferrari International Assistance thing is so old, they need to get over it.

**Grillo** · 10th April 2011, 13:13

Maybe Alonso's for crashing into Hamilton and Hamilton's for moving side to side on the straight before?

I'm a bit confused now.

**Alonsomaniac** · 10th April 2011, 13:13

Just give the whole field 20 sec.
Then everybody can go home satisfied and nothing really changes.....

**RockyRaccoon** · 10th April 2011, 13:13

U gotta be kidding me? All I saw was two world class drivers racing eachother hard, the race craft from the two of them (until Alonso's error!!) was superb!!

Is it any wonder they are reluctant to go wheel to wheel these days? What on earth is Alonso's penalty for?
