3 place for Seb is a bit of a joke considering what Max gets away with.

He absolutely deserved penalty, he rammed Rosberg

He did basically the same as Max in Spa. So? Where is Max's penalty then?

Max didnt even hit Seb or Nico. From the onboard you can see he didnt. After seeing it from few replays, yes Max locked up to, but he didnt make contact with anyone. Seb just locked up and went into Nico who was going around the outside. Didnt think id sick up for Max, but that isnt his fault.

I was to hasty Sunday, thought it was Sebs fault, then Max. Now, its just Sebs fault locking up . Just racing incident.

I think Kyss4K was referring to a penalty for what Max did at Spa.
I think it is hard to dispute that this was Sebs wrong doing this time around.
But what I don't get is the fact that RedBull drivers get away with doing the same thing all year round with not penalties, but Seb does this once and is hit with a 3 place grid penalty.

Sorry but put your glasses down. Vettel braked to late and even lock up his front right. To ambitious. Max at least had a corner more(Spa) than Vettel who t-boned rosberg.

I'm Ferrari fan but on the other hand I'm realistic. If you dont see Vettel's fault here you're not realistic. He rammed championship contender and nearly -up his chances and that for sure deserves penalty.

BUT if stewards have decided to penalise Vettel for this they should stick with that in every race

Think that was his point really.

Car no. 7 damaged by Rosberg hit; could not keep pace to secure podium after 10-second penalty for Rosberg.

If they cited the disadvantage Seb caused Nico to give him a grid penalty, the same ought to be applied to Nico on Kimi.

“Having thoroughly reviewed the video and having spoken to the driver concerned, the stewards determined that although the cars involved in the incident were all moving at relatively similar speeds, the driver of car five [Vettel] made a small error entering to the inside of turn 1 that led to the contact with car six.”

“As a consequence, car six [Rosberg] was caused to spin from second place and lose multiple positions, which the stewards determined was predominantly the fault of the driver of car five and therefore ordered the penalty above for causing a collision.”

Change the names and you get exactly the same findings. Terribly frustrating.

This is the first time that I don't want to hear anything from Ferrari for the next year's car.

Come on, you know you'll be right there, reading everything you can & waiting for the day they unveil the 2017. You don't fool me!

And I'll be doing the same, just like I have done for so many other eras where Ferrari struggled. I just think about how sweet it will finally be when it all comes together, but I also hope I'll still be alive for it.
