    I also think a warning system is better then just handing out black flags without prior notice because if a driver
    receives a yellow card
    , he/she knows that he/she is being watched more closely. The driver can then choose
    if he/she wants to cool down or continue to be aggressive and risk getting a second yellow card -> red card.
    That used to be what the half-black/half-white flag was for.

    Final was a bit weak but thought a lot of the other races were good. Seems like they're more scared of contact, other than Block who straight up assaulted Eriksson and got away with it. If that had been Timur crashing then he'd have got a penalty, so I see where Eriksson is coming from. Could be a close season, VW had pace but messed up at key points (bad start from Johan, traffic after the joker for Petter), Scheider was surprisingly quick (and obviously got a bit lucky with Q2) and seems like some of the single entrants are mixing it up with the others too.

    Edit: Also agree with Simmi that Doran was actually pretty good on the co-commentary. I thought it was an awful decision (because he's a generally unpleasant person) but as long as he's talking about people other than himself he brings good insight.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Best part of the final was Bakkerud coming past everyone on the outside as they came off their joker lap. He had the extra speed but it still looked spectacular..

    Should be possible to do this electronical in 2017, so the drivers see while driving, that they have been punished by the jury, or professional referees. Preferably ex drivers that know what they are doing.....

    Only not. Because Block didn't gain a position and Eriksson continued where he was to set a good time.

    Shouldn't make a difference, that move was out of order. Just because Eriksson held onto the position (by his own skill) doesn't mean that Block shouldn't be reprimanded.

    Yeah he's on the brakes, but that move was never on. Eriksson turns in but Ken just didn't bother.

    23:35 Johan shows how it should be done.

    KE-KB first contact is IMO a race incident. KE goes for the gap and KB have already re-aligned his car towards the bend.
    KE-KB second contact , KB is fully responsible for hitting KE from behind. There was no gap and Kevin was ahead but Block
    just didn't care and smashed into KE on purpose.
    ...Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...

    Yep, completely agree that neither are at fault for first touch, that one was just a by product of the weird joker merge at Barcelona.
