Haha, people hating the low noses. It wasn't the nose. Like normal, it was wheel against wheel.

Really? So Ricciardo doing 10m at 40mph with a wobbly wheel is twice as bad?

Ricciardo did nothing wrong.

Rybo89 · 6 Apr 2014 at 18:58

Whoa Nico with the fighting talk! Hamilton is going to smash you. End of!

Glaucus · 6 Apr 2014 at 18:59

I can't see that. I think Ham will win the fight, but it's going to be a close fight.

I suppose the argument is that an F1 car is designed to be safe when flipped over. But when a wheel comes loose and barrels down a pit lane there's a massive chance that if it hits someone it'll be fatal, so the best way of reducing the risk is by having a high penalty to put pressure on teams to make sure pit stops are safe.

Although i don't want to sound like i'm defending the ape, it was a completely reckless and dangerous move. So i guess you are right, the penalties are inconsistent.

I know. Yet his penalty was twice what Loldonardo gets for being a complete liability and a danger to everyone.

Totally agree with you.

It is very wrong that loldanardo got a light penalty (so far) for being a screw then ricciardo got for a team screw up.

He caused far too many now. Even when he's not racing.

Just got my money back from Sky for NowTV. Service was crap today.

Did anyone think Vettel might be at risk of sanctions for forcing someone to put all 4 wheels off the track, just after the safety car?

I had sky go for free on my smart tv and it was crap. I would never pay for it.

Can't imagine it's going too be long before Stefano Domenicali finds a horses head in his bed.

2 of the best drivers in F1 and looks like they've produced a rubbish car for them!

Misses a few

Maldonado swiping Hamilton in Belgium
Maldonado swiping Perez in Monaco
Maldonado's spins himself at Bahrain last year
Maldonado makes contact with Sutil in America last year (could never tell who's fault that one was)

Skeeter · 6 Apr 2014 at 19:25

Everything you ever need to know about Maldonado can be found in the details of the 2005 Monaco World Series by Renault race.

The guy shouldn't even be in F1.

And the one I can't find is when he hit a marshal at Monaco a few moons back.

Really doesn't seem to like Monaco does he?! About half the crashes in that compilation seemed to be there and it was missing the Perez one!

The 2005 WSR race I mentioned. There isn't footage of it as the race wasnt televised.

Probably a good thing considering he nearly killed a marshal by being a complete ****.

Is that the same one he crashed in a red flag and the Marshalls jump over the barrier, or is that another one.

If you haven't got a Mercedes engine, you ain't got nothing.
