Vettel is 3pts away from a race ban!!!!!

[bondilad]

No. It will be race ban

It runs within a calendar year right..... so I guess it should get back to zero hopefully soon.

when does the penalty time reset 0_0 ? does he have to drive slow and cautious now?

[ScuderiaBuckeye]

I don't care if Seb got brake tested it's his job as a following car not to run into the car in front of him. This is pretty fundamental, you know, to driving, on any level, anywhere.

Did Hamilton brake test him? Yeah, probably, b/c Lewis is a douche like that and he's done similar things before. Still no reason to let your temper get the better of you and cost you points and potentially damage your championship possibilities. Be smarter, Seb.

<wags finger>

[Ryder1984]

He wants favouritism from his team. He wants other team mate to help him.

You mean like Schumacher had? Having Rubens let him win. And he's our hero. Or like Alo asked in quali for massa to get out in front of him so he could get a pull. Don't get me wrong. Schumi is my second favorite driver after Senna. But being a fan doesn't mean you start ignoring everything wrong with your driver and condemn the drivers from other teams for doing the exact same thing

[Golfsmith]

every wondered why the current World Champion is not racing

Could not stand LH/TW/Lauda anymore with there tricks.

After the SC lights are off the cars CAN NOT suddenly brake or accelerate. It's in the rules. Lewis did slowed down from 80kp/h to 40kph after the corner. That's clear brake checking and penalty. I don't understand, why he doesn't have it already

[mwk360]

Nico always rubs it in there faces too , good. He overcame that terrible treatment

post #1173.....He just has to drive like he has been since this stupid " I was NOT paying attention to my driving" incident. Others might test him. We will see how the Hamilton and

Vettel "bromance" goes from here.

IMagine If bottas passes Hamilton in points will he still have to let Ham have his way? could make the Seb vs Merc challenge more interesting

[Ferrarichamp]

you would think it would be clear from the telemetry if Ham brake-tested.
I remember Alonso doing it to MS in 2006 i think, it was pretty bad because it was under yellow flags IIRC. I don't recall the exact race track though.

[nani_s23]

So everyone here what ham had done is right. So break testing is fine. Then why did he get penalty in earlier race where he slowed Ricciardo under SC incident???

[nani_s23]

Bottas was contracted to mercs for 2 things
1. Help Lewis
2. Take one of the Ferrari out

Now that he's succeeding in it, his contract would be renewed

If only things were as simple as that, just don't run into the car ahead.

Brake testing is not allowed in race, and neither is multiple change of line while defending. The reason we have all these rules is because the cars are following closely during racing with the understanding that the driver in front will not intentionally impede you in such a way that you cannot react to avoid an accident.

Without these rules, drivers can just randomly brake to force others to stay away from them.
We have these rules in place, it is a matter of enforcing them.

And being a douche or having bad habit is no excuse for doing something illegal. Lewis need to be smarter too.

[Ed Harley]

Yes.

One should note that FIA have not seen need to punish LH for said incident. More interestingly Ferrari have not to my knowledge protested that either.

[Rookie]

Well the people from SKY F1 seems to think it's right. They also seem to think Hamilton should be champion again and they have Lewis too far up their asses.
Lol!

really angers me, if Ferrari can speed up in Quali , they can get clear of these dirty guys

Apart from first point I think you are now making things up.

Schumacher never asked for anything Austria in 2001. He even helped Irvine 1999 before that when he was in the title hunt.

Today Lewis asked his team to slow down his teammate a few positions ahead just to give his opponent bad wake. Can you imagine how much has be become accustomed and expects that his teammate used a doormat for him?

[jgonzalesm6]

Yes.

+1

[nani_s23]

2nd point is a analysis based on couple of races.

[nani_s23]

Yes.

Yeah Ferrari have not protested but instead blaming vet indirectly. Mr MA

[Warp]

Definitely, HAM didn't slow down. Red bar indicates acceleration :D

really angers me, if Ferrari can speed up in Quali , they can get clear of these dirty guys

that is our greatest and most costly weakness in my opinion

[nani_s23]

One thing I can conclude that. Kimi can't go ahead like this, even it's not his fault. But it seems, it's not going to end here. Which is costing alot.

[Ed Harley]

Perhaps your conclusions are just a bit off.

[mwk360]

that is our greatest and most costly weakness in my opinion

Lets hope that this weekend gives the development team a real wake up and they can make improvements to get close again

[nani_s23]

Perhaps your conclusions are just a bit off.

Ofcourse it's off, but to read it would be funny

[Ed Harley]

Yeah Ferrari have not protested but instead blaming vet indirectly. Mr MA

There is some food for thought.
