I think that disqualification from the Grand Prix and a suspended race ban to be activated if he gets up to anything like that again would have been appropriate.
Time is the enemy.

Yeah I notice the usual Vettel tifosi are quiet. Interesting how some people see it as okay because it was at such slow speed. The speed is irrelevant. It's the action that matters.
I would be very disappointed had Hamilton done something like that. I don't think we ever have to worry about that happening though.
One of my biggest issues here is that there is and had been a very clear cut bias towards Vettel in the Stewards room for many years now. Every time it is possible for him to get a lenient call he usually gets and benefits from it. I find it all very convenient that news came through about Vettel's penalty just as it was clear Hamilton had to pit despite over 30 mins at least passing between the incident and the Stewards decision. At that time it was obvious that the differential for a penalty would be minimal and suddenly the penalty appears.
What opened on Sunday is the result of years of soft punishment and not being made to answer for things he had done. He'a petulant, spoiled and needs to be brought back down to earth with a bang.

and it should not have taken that long to issue the penalty. Everyone, the media, commentators and the audience instantly knew what happened. and without the added benefit of additional replays and telemetry, and yet it took forever for the stewards to render a useless decision, which only served to benefit vettel.
you can't argue with results.

I would say that a black flag for the Baku race, nothing beyond that, would have been proportionate.

I'm thinking a 15 spot grid drop for Austria would satisfy my blood-lust for 'the evil one'. That, or just forfeit his points from Baku. Actually I think both are in order (it is a lesson he needs, to understand the impropriety of his action). He deserves at least one of the a fore mentioned punitive actions. Not even Mike or anyone else got away with that kind of behavior.

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
