Today's F1 Grand Prix on C4

[sjamesb3466]

Wow, Vettel essentially admitted that he wheel hit Hamilton deliberately to show he is a man. What a bell and a childish clown. Surely more action must be taken for that?

Hamilton rightly called him a disgrace and said if he wants to prove he is a man to do it out of the car.

There has to be some kind of retrospective sanction on Vettel - just seen the incident for the first time.

On a lighter note - well done to Lance Stroll - fantastic along with the talent of Max Verstappen.

Cannot believe Vettel only got a 10 second stop and go for deliberately driving into another car. I reckon Hamilton would have got a black flag if the positions had been reversed.

Ferrari are F1 it seems.

Remarkable that Vettel can get away with that with a 10 second stop go.

Anyone who has watched F1 for any length of time knows that F1 kowtows to Ferrari. Pissed me off with Schumacher and now with Vettel. I'd hoped it would change with Ecclestone leaving but apparently not.

10 ****ing seconds for deliberately pulling alongside the leader of the race and then swerving in to him? Really?

Bullshit about Hamilton braking and making him crash into him disproved by the stewards saying Hamilton did not brake only aggravates the fact that he got a poxy 10 second penalty announced AFTER Hamilton was forced to stop too.

So is it done and dusted, or can there be retrospective action?

It's all about Ferrari, Germans and Jean Todd, worst ever appointment to the FIA.

Nope, done and dusted, he cheats his way over his main opponent. You have to hand it to the Krauts.

That will be ex Ferrari boss Jean Todt, now the top man in the FIA. Corruption, what corruption?

 

[JJ McClure]

He got the in race penalty and 3 points on his Super Licence. He deserves more punishment than that but won't get it.

I'd forgotten about Jean Todt being appointed to FIA.

It was a great race, that long straight had 4-5 cars side by side on most laps, I missed the race here last year but a great addition to the F1 calender.

I don't think spelling the name wrong takes away from the set up.

Last year's race was extremely dull to be honest.

I know, your post reminded me that he was still involved having levered so much influence as the head of Ferrari, spelling the name correctly was not a knock at your very slightly misspelt name!

You need to stop being so touchy

It was a great race because the track is too tight, too many collisions, too many SCs, not enough space, especially through turn 2 and 3. Such a shame we have these Tourist Information Promotional races over somewhere like Magny-Cours. That was more like stock car racing at times than F1.

The way modern cars and rules are it is unfortunately races like this that give F1 it's excitement these days. I miss the old days of guys just racing and the cars being similar enough for great overtaking. You remember, when cars had gear sticks not paddles!

Farce.

They were never similar.

Seeing your quick edit, I don't recall that much overtaking back then either.
