alonso is going to be boiling under that helmet now, harsh call but the SC is just rubbing salt in the wound

That's very, very harsh on Alonso.

The FIA have been fantastic this year but that was not a good call.

A rubbish penalty, he was run off the road an avoided an accident. That's not justice at all.

If it was around Monaco he would've had to brake as he couldn't make the move stick, the only reason he didn't brake was because he knew he could just cut the corner.

Button may get a podium

He overcommited a corner earlier and didn't back off, instead trying to force Kubica off the racing line. Kubica understandably didn't budge, Alonso ate grass and should have backed off and given back the position immediately. Justice has been served.

That doesn't matter, what matters is Kubica ran him off the road, he didn't leave a cars width which forced Alonso off track. Alonso shouldn't be punished for that.

It ruined the battle for 3rd

, but Ferdy getting kicked in the knackers (twice!) makes up for it.

lot of back markers between ham and ros

Shocking decision.

But it's not monaco because if it was monaco Kubica would have run Alonso into the wall and caused an accident.

That was a little unfair on Alonso, but then again...

hahahahahahahahahaha

"go to the back.."

Masterdog · 11 Jul 2010 at 13:53

Alonso giving the place back would have been fair. The fact that Kubica then retired couldn't be helped by Ferrari, and a drive through imo is unnecessarily harsh. I'm enjoying the punishment (esp after last race) but I don't think it was the right thing to do.

what did fred say when he qualified 3rd? bye bye go home? karma.

If it was around monaco, Alonso would have had to let Kubica hit him, take both of them out and tae it from there.

Concrete · 11 Jul 2010 at 13:55

Alonso has brakes on his car, shame he doesn't seem to know when to use them.

No he wouldn't because Alonso wouldn't have attempted such a stupid move without a run-off.

muon · 11 Jul 2010 at 13:56

Webber continues where he left off.

Peve · 11 Jul 2010 at 13:56

Damm it, Webber pulling away again.

See Spa 2008 - same penalty applied.
FIA in consistency shocker!

It wasn't a stupid move, there was plenty of space for both of them, Kubica just forced him wide. Kubica wouldn't have done that if there hadn't been run off.
