It's a valid point that Ferrari's punishment for Germany wasn't much of a punishment, but it's also possible to find other examples of the same thing, like for example Hamilton drive-through penalty in Valencia.
Now, I'm not deliberately attcking Hamilton, but would people please get down off their high horse and have a bit of consistency?
I'm glad you clarified and said most of the season, and not all of the season.Quote:

Blaming the drivers would be overly simplistic, and overlooking reliability, poor strategy, and poor team management.
So did Red Bull turn up their engine because Alonso and Hamilton were breathing down Vettel's neck? Was that the cause of the engine failure, or just luck?
The obvious conclusion would be that Vettel is a carbreaker, for the less cognitive of us.Quote:
