It was Hamilton who went off in the first corner, he was a few car-lengths in front of everyone so probably didn't gain any more advantage and there was no investigation about the accident<br />2. Rosberg went off in the second corner because a red bull pushed him off track, so i guess they canceled each others infringements<br />3. Vettel was punished for changing the line in the breaking zone (the rule he was so keen of), not for talking shit to stewards<br />4. the stewards were busy investigating Verstappens behavior so it's only reasonable it took a bit more time to investigate Vettel<br />OlegYchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962595061587595984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-3780906576134415222016-10-31T09:08:56.552-06:002016-10-31T09:08:56.552-06:00Yes, very inconsistent decisions.
You either give ...Yes, very inconsistent decisions.<br />You either give penalties to both Hamilton and Verstappen or you let then both get away with it. Their mistakes were almost identical.<br />Hamilton would not have been so affected by a penalty though, because it would have been at the beginning of the race, and it could have been manageable. <br />My view is that they shouldn't have gotten a penalty, because they did not win a position, nor did they really gain time against the following car.<br /><br />Anyway, these late decisions saved Montoya from drinking from Ricciardo's shoe :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10509013573518553035noreply@blogger.com
