Vettel time penalty
Here's the onboard of Seb's "incident" that got him a 5 second penalty int he Canadian GP today, for unsafe re-entry to the track that forced another driver off the track.
At the risk of being accused of virtue-signalling by Damo, what's he supposed to do here exactly to prevent an unsafe re-entry?

Re: Vettel time penalty
At the risk of being accused of virtue-signalling by Damo, that's a fair point. I did consider that and rejected it myself because it's not specifically what they're accusing him of. But i suppose they don't say that the re-entry has to be intentional, so I think your point has merit.claretjohn33505 wrote:Stay in control of his car and remain on the track.
Re: Vettel time penalty
Use his brakes so he didn't re-enter onto Hamilton's racing line.

At those speeds and being on grass perhaps using brakes wouldn't be the best course of action.... Had he tried to do that he would probably have taken both himself and Hamilton out.taio wrote:Use his brakes so he didn't re-enter onto Hamilton's racing line.
Its unfortunate ... but the laws have been folliwed to the letter. Vettel is and was big enough to accept it (sort of) and does not blame Hamilton (how could he)

Re: Vettel time penalty
Not a fan of Vettel, but he did exceptionally well to avoid a massive impact as a result of that and he had no other course of action once his rear end stepped out. You could argue that he shouldn’t be on the edge and as such risk his rear end stepping out, but then if that’s the case you all might as well watch Bingo instead.

Extremely harsh imo.
Driving on slicks on grass would be like driving on ice. You can see how much he is fighting to prevent any kind if crash/collision.

Re: Vettel time penalty
I’d rather he’d been told to cede the place than a 5 sec penalty. In a sport where track position is vital he could still have gone on to win by more than 5secs. Hamilton had earned the lead by pushing Vettel into his error. The lead should have been handed over.

Re: Vettel time penalty
I think what you are seeing is that Ferrari would never have been given that when Ecclestone owned F1 - others would have now they are getting some of the treatment others have.
I cannot stand Vettel, I thought he could have done better, someone of his experience should not be shaken into mistakes like that so regularly

All he had to do was lift his foot off the throttle and he would have lost 25-30mph in a second - no need for braking. Then wait for long enough to avoid the collision and that would have put him back on the track behind Lewis.Bosscat wrote:At those speeds and being on grass perhaps using brakes wouldn't be the best course of action....

Re: Vettel time penalty
You notice the sharp turn to the right on the steering wheel as he rejoins the circuit, to ensure his car goes into the path of Hamilton. That is not oversteer because he should have come off the power. In my opinion it is a deliberate move to prevent Hamilton passing him, cynical by Vettel and he got what he deserved with the time penalty.

I don't know if it was I intentional, but like football it shouldnt matter, if you gain an advantage from a mistaken tackle it's still a foul.
It WAS clear that Hamiltom had to break to avoid hitting the wall, that being the case the stewards had no option. Sad for Vettel maybe, but the right decision.

I think it’s might be time to say that Hamilton is one of if the not the greatest ever. Vettel hasn’t laid a glove on him for the past 18 months or so since Ferrari have become challengers.

Re: Vettel time penalty
There is that. Vettel had his dominance in the Red Bull a few years back just like Hamilton is having his. Vettel had the car last year to challenge. He had the lead too in the Championship. But when Hamilton put the pressure on Vettel made mistake after mistake after mistake.Steve1956 wrote:Hamilton is a fine driver,but I think it's his car that's the greatest ever,im not knocking Hamilton....it just is.
Hamilton never seems to lock up, spin, or do anything wrong.

Re: Vettel time penalty
On 16 secs in that clip, massive twitch to the right after he's back on the track to defend his position. That is what nearly put Hamilton in the wall. As mentioned above if he'd come off the throttle he wouldn't have been penalised. He'd have lost a place, but his mistake warranted that outcome. Instead he took his chances and left the decision in the hands of officials. They made the right call.

That was Spa Francorchamps late 90s. Proper strop thrown by Schuey. DC was slowing to allow MS to pass him under instruction, but due to the spray MS was unsighted and he piled into the back of the McLaren.Steve1956 wrote:All Germans sulk can remember Schmacher storming down the pit lane with the I'm going to kick your f**cking head in look on his face after Coultard had braked in the wet and Schumacer run into the back of him in the wet can't remember were it was but he strutted up and down the pit lane looking for Coulthard.....who was nowhere to be seen
Re: Vettel time penalty
Exactly this, when reentrying you have to do so without endangering another driver, he purposely drove all the way accross the track to block Hamilton's Line and made him take action to avoid a collusion. Clear penatly. More evidence Vettel is a petulent bottlejobber.claret wizard wrote:On 16 secs in that clip, massive twitch to the right after he's back on the track to defend his position.

Re: Vettel time penalty
Watching it again it looks like he purposely shuts the overtaking lane away from Hamilton. He shouldnt have entered in on the racing line knowning Hamilton was behind him.
Agree the correct punishment shouldve been to let Hamilton take the place, as that penalty just ruined the end of the race.

Re: Vettel time penalty
Vettel drove off track and re-entered in a straight line, on the far side of the track, stopping the driver behind, from continuing.
Penalty for sure!
I have checked VAR and this is confirmed!

Re: Vettel time penalty
F1 has hardly been a race for a long time. It's more about the car than the driver these days. Vettel could have stayed off the racing line but he chose not to and the penalty was correct but making Vettel cede a place to Hamilton would have actually made it a race rather than the 5 sec penalty he got.

It just beggars belief that they would choose to ruin the first proper race of the season.
French GP next. All about power so we might have a good one like Canada but then again, there's so much runoff there will be very little drama.
