Even Nico agreed it’s a penalty.
The former Mercedes driver who still works with F1.... Interesting. :wub:
Lando Norris running lol

2. Rules are rules. They don’t get ignored just because it would make the race/season more interesting. That would take all what little credibility the stewards have left.
Yep, from grass to pavement there is still a traction issue happening.
Never forget Mercedes is large F1 sponsor, and its safety car is sponsored by Mercedes....makes you wonder what else they could buy. (fia) :thumbsup:
Montreal is essentially a city circuit in terms of track width as well...where was he supposed to go ? i hear ya there.
IF they absolutely HAD TO penalize him...that shouldve been a change of position from p1 to p2...which would at least give him a few laps to try to steal his position back.
5 seconds though? thats a slap in the face. Saw somewhere else the conspiracy theories that were saying that leclerc was closing in on vettels 5 second window but then somehow slowly fell back to +6 seconds...
interesting theory that does make a lot of sense actually.
Let them drive agreed.
Only one way to solve this. Will play F1 2018 tonight and recreate the incident.
No, rules aren't rules. Real life is not that simple, otherwise you would have no need for lawyers, mediation, arbitration, courts, panels, hearings, etc. There is a lot of leeway for what rulings get made.
We’re not talking about real life. We’re talking about racing. It’s supposed to be black and white :iono:
Vettel acted like a giant crybaby post race too. Really disappointing.

He acted the same way Hamilton did, really. It was all theatrics by everyone involved.
Never seen Hamilton avoid the paddock the way Vettel did. And move the 1st and 2nd place bollards. And Lewis had his Belgium GP victory taken away in the same fashion. Just admit you can’t be fair and partial because you’re a Vettel/Ferrari fanboi.
Here’s another article explaining why.

Lol, it's funny because I'm pretty certain you're a Mercedes fanboi yourself, I just wasn't going to stoop to calling you out on it.
It was necessary for him act that way to show the severity of the penalty that was placed against him. He made a mistake, barely saved his car from spinning....kept the lead and then got a race win stolen from him. Cant really blame the guy for getting mad. Im really glad he did what he did... brought FIA to the front of F1 conversation (as we are talking about it now) .
TLDR
drastic times call for drastic measures
Leclerc is awesome yeah agreed. Have a listen to his team radio when he found out Vettels penalty cost him the win. :bellyroll::bellyroll:

I agree. Listen to Hamilton on the radio, he's clearly talking it up in a way that ensures it gets reviewed and increases the odds it gets penalized. Vettel is doing the same thing. Making a big deal out of it so the fans and industry are talking about the decision. It's all bad for F1 and is frankly a shitty decision.
The argument that Hamilton "forced the error" and therefore earned the race is also odd to me. Hamilton had 70 laps to pass Vettel and it didn't happen. If Hamilton only had one opportunity all race to pass, then did he really "earn" the win?
