    Should Vettel be banned?

    In the last two seasons have had occasion to some of worst behaviour if F1 displayed by the Four time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel. There was the infamous Mexico incident when on open radio, Vettel unleashed a tirade of abuses at the Racing Director Charlie Whiting much to the shock of every televised audience across the globe.

    To everyone's surprise he was let off on the basis that he apologized for his actions. One thing was certain, if that was anyone else, they would slapped with the stiffest penalty available.

    This season, we get a repeat of his red mist eruption as we all watch with disbelief as Vettel crashed into the rear of Hamilton's car and then, in what looked clearly like a red mist moment, pulled up alongside Hamilton and rammed his front tyre into Hamilton's front tyre.

    Vettel was adamant during and after the race, that Hamilton deliberately brake checked him. However he stewards saw things differently and handed Vettel a 10 sec penalty. Most of us were quite flabbergasted at the meager punishment levele at Vettel.

    Some argued that the punishment was too lenient. So what is the right punishment for a repeat infringement of the rules?

    Well, he does get penalty points (three for yesterday's incident) on his super-license and is only three points away from a race ban. I think that's a reasonable system that if introduced earlier would probably have meant an earlier Ferrari debut for Luca Badoer or a sighting of Pirro in a McLaren-Honda

    It's not political correctness, it's common decency and respect.
    And I've pointed it it out once...right now!
    you just don't see it, but to me its rather offensive.
    So i will point it out. I really do like Tazio and find him funny most of the time. but in this case it was a bit out of bounds.
    There is no need to make a stereotyped "black american" caricature of Hamilton.
    It's a shame you can't see it or understand.
    Then again based on your comments, perhaps that is to be expected from you.

    Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW)

    Section 118 - Menacing driving

    (1) Offence-intent to menace A person must not drive a motor vehicle on a road in a manner that menaces another person with the intention of menacing that other person.

    Maximum penalty: 30 penalty units or imprisonment for 18 months or both (in the case of a first offence) or 50 penalty units or imprisonment for 2 years or both (in the case of a second or subsequent offence).



    I wouldn't put him in prison but revoking his licence for 2 calendar years from 26th Jun 2017 to 25th Jun 2019 seems appropriate to me.

    This isn't forever sort of intent as Senna or Schumacher but it's still deliberate.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
