Baldrick Posted July 11, 2016 Share I think it was a professional foul. He was stuck in 7th gear and would not finish. Rather give the instruction and take the time penalty afterwards GLuvsMtb and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted July 11, 2016 Share I think it was a professional foul. He was stuck in 7th gear and would not finish. Rather give the instruction and take the time penalty afterwardsNow at least we know what the default penalty is for this infringement. Next time a team should just say to the driver. "If we tell you, its going to be a 10 second penalty, is it worth it to know?". If you have this type of situation close to your pitstop, it might be better to pit, get fresh rubber and have the race engineer push the button for you on the steering wheel. It should take 2 or 3 seconds longer, not 10, and you are not p!zzing off Charlie in the process. dracs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was penalized and dropped a position with the 10second penalty but if it were him leading I think it would've been different.I was a bit shocked at how long it took them to award the penalty. 3 or 4 hours just shows they are winging it!!!

"If we tell you, its going to be a 10 second penalty, is it worth it to know?". Its a pretty stupid rule in the first place, but I agree - now we can expect teams to take the chance - precedent has been set. Would have been well worth Hamilton's while to take the 10 sec penalty in baku - he lost 4 or 5 times that in about 20 laps IIRC Edited July 12, 2016 by dracs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted July 27, 2016 Share The rumour has been going around for a while. A certain Mr Brawn could be inline as a replacement. Yeah, his wife died and the kids are still in the UK so understandably he wants to return. 'm sure we will see him pop up at Renault soon enough. Brawn has come out with a firm "no", but you never know. The weekend Ferrari was moaning about the Allison rumours and three days later BOOM! They should just sign James Key and be done with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted August 1, 2016 Share Actually saw a bit of the GP yesterday. These rules are grinding my knee cartilage. How the heck can they justify a 5 sec penalty for Nico (no, not a fan...) yet Max's stunt in Hungary was acceptable?! Surely just pushing the guy out (to a concrete run-off area) when you have the inside line is much less (if even) of a transgression than multiple direction switches?

Baldrick Posted August 1, 2016 Share Track limit transgressions are also not consistent. Plenty of drivers were given warnings in Hungary, but nothing yesterday.Management of tyres pissed me off yesterday as well. Drivers being told to look after their rubber after only 2 laps. Quite pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odinson Posted October 6, 2016 Share My thoughts exactly. I love F1, but I've fallen out of love with it. I'm hardly ever excited to think that a race is coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
