With pitstops as short as they are this year, and changeable weather, surely it's only a matter of time.

By the second half of the season, when the pit crews are well practiced, in Spa for example. Imagine two, three or even four lollipops being raised at the same time....

Yep, by mid-season I wouldn't be surprised to have seen a few similar scenarios play out- especially if we get some more wet races....

I'd tend to agree with you about the drivethrough

Whatever the rights and wrongs of Hamilton's action (and yes, I think he was an idiot for trying to keep the position alongside Vettel after making a mess of his getaway from the pit, losing traction and getting sideways), but since when has it been Vettel's right or responsibility to police that by pushing Hamilton back towards the pit garages?

To put it another way, if someone on the road tries to overtake me illegally, and it ends in an accident, then I don't expect to get much sympathy from the traffic cops if they find out my last act before the accident was to move over on the guy who was trying to overtake me....

All Vettel needed to do was sit tight and hold his line- and Hamilton would have had to back out of it before the end of the pitlane- but he didn't, he tried to force the issue, and rightly got reprimanded

As far as I'm concerned, they're both at fault here, and I'd have been perfectly comfortable to see both get a drive-through for it

I'd have been comfortable with a drive-through for Vettel and a 10second stop for Hamilton .
Either way , I saw it as dangerous , and something that should never be allowed again .

Severe sanction should ensue , though , once this is clarified and hopefully regulated , if anyone tries this again .

Well, I guess everybody has his opinion and can curse or praise the stewards. I prefer their new way compared to what we had in previous years.

i have been wondering for a long time now, from the day i saw him in 2007 i feel he is a very dangerous driver, i think he is a bit unstable and need some time of medication.


i think f1 is better of without him . my real fear is that , if we allow him to race we could see some fatal injuries to fellow drivers, i think he needs a rehab or a crash course on f1.


he is not fit for f1 as of now, with his cheating and all his dangerous driving.

I think he need to attend school again and learn the basics of sportmanship all over again.

best of luck to other drivers. i would hold RONN accountable for any fatalities cuz of his spoilt kid on the track.


regardless of how much his supporters cry. there is proven data to prove that he is a danger to the whole paddock .



i think he needs atleast 3-4 years more to mature into a great drive.
he is simply dangerous for other 23 cars on field, and i fear that his driving can lead to some serious problems in the future.

Some of his moves might be questionable but F1 is better with him.

I think you need to know the difference between F1 and The Classical Music as Max Biaggi put it. .

OK, you've said your opinion, which is fair enough. I totally disagree with you, and I can't see how he's a danger (he's a racer-I don't see that as being dangerous). Occasioanlly hot headed for sure, you could say he's spoilt but only because he was good enough to be IMO.

But, You claim there is proven data supporting what you say and thus proving me wrong, now show me that.
