Pretty harsh , weighing Vettel just as conditions are changing , but not good to not follow instructions from the FIA employees , so a penalty will be applied .
Hamilton is out chastising Sirotkin for attempting a pass into the final corner with them both on out laps .
I was in the Lewis corner on this one , thinking he had only realized Sirotkin was coming fast at the last moment , and had tried to dive inside to get out of his way .
But , rather than an act of respect , it was the ultimate act of disrespect , where he is essentially say to Sergey that he should stay in line and not get in the way of the big boys .
He dove inside to balk the Williams driver deliberately .
He has admitted as much , so a penalty should be applied .

No he didn’t. He saw Sergey at the last moment thinking he was misinformed and that someone behind him was on a quick lap so he tried to get out of the way.
Hamilton explains Sirotkin incident, says Williams driver was "disrespectful"
"Everyone was on an out lap, me, Sergey and the one in front of me. When you're on an out lap, towards the end of the lap, you try to back off and get a gap
"As far as I knew no one behind was on a lap so I was making sure i had a gap, then all of a sudden out of turn 11 i saw a car coming.
"I thought someone might have been on a lap, so I went to the left and that's where he decided to go. But he wasn't on a lap so I don't really know what his thinking was.
"Between all the drivers, we all know to keep our space by that point so it was generally quite a disrespectful move...
"I was trying to get out of his way and then he got to the corner and slowed up. It was kind of strange, it was completely unnecessary because he had a space behind. Ultimately his lap and my lap weren't great.
"Hopefully he can learn from it."

exactly. I was about to post the same comments from the Autosport article.
I'm not sure where and how bagwan is getting this take from.
Nothing Hamilton said was remotely cocky brash or out of line.
I'ts amazing how a decent and reasonable explanation can be given and presented, but yet some folks decide to spin it into something completely different than reality.
oh well.Last edited by truefan72; 10th November 2018 at 19:27.

25k fine and a reprimand for Vettel. As he did turn off engine and they got the car weight he escapes disqualification. Sounds fair enough to me.
