I hope the stewards are paid handsomely for their efforts .
And , I hope this whole issue is dealt with , as it seems there are a lot of arguable aspects of this incident .
To have moments where so many are outraged , including names like Stewart , Andretti , and Mansell , makes Seb's words about modern F1 ring a little too loudly , and gestures like bringing Vettel onto the top step a bit hollow .
Here's a question : Did anyone switch back the number signs in front of the cars after Seb changed them ?

That section of the rules do not prevent Ferrari from appealling the decision of the stewards. It simply insist that the team and driver must comply with the penalty within the specification of this section within the particular race. The appeal procedures is defined elsewhere and follow a mechanism outside the scope of the stewards. If Ferrari wishes to appeal they can do so. They just need to raise the matter with the appeal commission at their next sitting.
But l doubt they would do so for obvious reasons. Ferrari would want this matter to end quickly as it only serves to highlight how they have lost again when all the advantages were in their favor.Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

Actually, in recent times, Vettel has been very proper and a model racer, especially after his wheel banging with Hamilton in Baku. Hardly gets into trouble with the powers that be. So it was great to see some emotion and angry gesture from him. It shows he still cares about winning. It shows he wants Ferrari to do well. I liked what l saw actually. But l think the world of racing would go ballistic if Hamilton did the same thing though.
It was the kind of attitude that we come to expect from Max Verstapenn. That's why it was interesting and entertaining to see a four time world champion do it.Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

Yes you are correct, l missed that. I suppose the Stewards decision is final in this case. It is interesting to note that the same section places upon the stewards the discretion to investigate and the discretion to apply a penalty. It also gives the steward the get out of jail card of imposing a warning.
There is something wrong with the lack of the ability to appeal a decision. I think that needs to change.
Well, it is what it isLast edited by Nitrodaze; 13th June 2019 at 04:49.

I agree with others here. Vettel cut the corner of the track. That is what he should have been penalised for. A position change seemed obvious, not a time penalty. ( obvious from my lounge chair of course )

Vettel is still a reasonable chance to win the championship. Leclerc is no chance. It's not really a big deal on this occasion.
I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
