Holy crap. Both ALO and BUT 25 place grid penalty EACH, plus drive throughs!

Perhaps they could just line them up in Montreal again and let them race each other??

apparently Mercedes are not the only ones with dumb race engineers that ruin their driver's race

Ferrari apparently didn't communicate with Kimi properly:

in light of this new evidence, kimi is off the hook...sorta

To give a 25 grid places penalty with a 20 cars grid...kudos to the geniuses that came up with that rule

Gonna be a tough day! I'm sure it's very mountainous!

What Massa almost did with Arrivabene in the pits... Is the same that Pantano almost did with Scalabroni in the GP2 pits ten years ago.

So now Vettel's and Raikkonen's grid positions are reversed relative to Montreal. It will be interesting to see what the outcome will be. Glad to see Hulkenberg qualify so high in a Force India. Other young drivers impressed too: Kvyat, Verstappen, and Nasr.

If I was McLaren at this point, I'd basically consider screwing up the engines as far as they'll possibly go. Try to expend as much fuel as quickly as possible and get as much power from those Hondas as possible. The result will still be zero points; so you might as well have fun doing it.

What's the worst that could happen, a 25 place grid penalty each, plus drive throughs?


Heck, chuck a 3L V10 in the back just to stick it to tha FIA

That was one weird accident. Did Kimi lose it or did Alonso hit him first? :-/

Glad for the stewards and Kimi, that was a close call.

Edit: looks like Alonso was a bit too close and could not avoid Kimi when his car wobbled going out of the turn.

That was probably the only chance for McLaren to be on top of Ferrari this season

Looking on the bright side, you could say that Alonso crashed into Kimi to spare McLaren the humiliation of yet another double DNF for reliability issues.
