Halleluja, justice prevails! I was afraid that 'higher forces' would prevent Lewis from being penalised for an obvious infringement of the rules but fortunately that was not the case.

I agree, it is a fair punishment. Given the likeliness of afternoon rain the penalty will probably not mean much anyway. Bring on the race! :D
Trulli ends up 3rd, amazing result. All aboard the Trulli train! :D
A fair outcome.
C'mon Jarno! What are the chances of rain in the race?
60 % ...
:up: I agree, however I would also say that it is symptomatic of having a pairing of inexperienced drivers in fast cars... :!:Quote:

If nobody reminds the drivers, sometimes it's not the first thing on their mind if it is not ingrained into them from several seasons of F1.
Bet they won't forget again tho... :laugh:
It was the McLarens today but it could easily be another car\team next race that gets in the way when you have half a dozen cars practically idling their cars around the circuit while qualifying is still on because fuel strategy has usurped lap times in degree of importance.
Some unlucky sap is going to have a slower car change his line or come across a puttering car at full tilt either entering or exiting a corner and it will be a disaster. It doesn't matter who's at the wheel of either car. You can't have these massive differentials in speed. Do we really have to show these guys a clip of the Gilles Villeneuve tragedy to drive this point home?
They should pull their car off at pit exit until the remaining qualifiers have passed if they're going to continue with these silly rules.
Great stuff from Trulii :D Pino would be pleased!Quote:
