Canadian Grand Prix 2014, Montréal - Race 7/19

Regardless, the corner shouldn't be designed in a way that allows you to run through at full speed. The orange kerb needs to go all the way to the pit wall.

So at least if they accelerate we get a cool jump at the end of it

Thats not Rosberg's fault so pretty harsh to blame him for it

Mercedes report that "high-voltage control electronics failure led to a permanent loss of MGU-K drive on borh cars in today's race".

Odd they failed at almost the same time.

See those replays of that chicane cut, his tires unlocked before the corner, he turned in then turned away from it again. It's not like he locked up and was off the track before he could turn, he was turning almost on the right line, just slow and it wouldn't have been a pretty corner. That is seriously dodgy, that isn't mistake and missed the corner for me, it's made a mistake and DECIDED to cut the corner because it would be faster at that point. He turned into the corner then away after his tires unlocked.

The fact he floored it off the corner and set the fast lap by quite some margin is unforgivable in my opinion. Cant believe he wasn't given a penalty. Hamilton lost all the hard work of getting into his drs as he found himself 1.5-2 seconds down again

 

[FrankJH]

Final warning for jumping the corner, so no issue as the race is over. Unless I missed something else.

Think there are now penaltys for the whole season, not just the single race

What a great race!

Really happy Ric took first, what a guy, I was up out my seat cheering his pass.
Shame Rosberg finished so high.
Shame Lewis didn't finish.
Massa, just not good enough, but glad he took Perez out. That view from vettels car when massa slid past, wincey bum moment.
Loldanado AGAIN.
Driver of the day? Button

That's reprimands.

The warnings from the judge of fact are for the specific races where they have one only.

I'm not a fan of the idea that you gain an advantage, but once you see you miss the corner in that situation I can understand(not condone it) though. But it's actually that to me, it looks like the tires unlock, he turns in, then chooses to turn away from the corner and take the faster route. I think he could have made a very slow chicane, knew that and chose the faster option which I think deserves a big penalty. If you miss the corner completely, IE if he'd locked up and was past the corner when he unlocked I can understand putting the pedal down.

They really should have strips across there like they have at Monaco so you have to weave between them if you use the run off there to make sure cars slow down and lose out.

His bum must have been going like a rabbits nose

Probably knew Hamilton would get him into the first corner if he actually went through with taking the chicane slowly so bolted it through and cut the corner.

This is only a valid criticizm if the other guy lost points because of it.

So Hamilton may have retired from 1st instead of 2nd/3rd wow what a difference

Oh I know it is all academic now but at the time it was significant.

 

[smr]

Good guy ricciardo

Love him. Such a likeable guy.

 

[smr]

Well he won one due to car issues.

LOL!

 

[Jono8]

Indeed. I really like Ricciardo.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Not sure why people wanted Massa to take vettel out. Not a fan of vettel, but i don't want to see him injured either! Ricciardo is a decent bloke and a great driver - better than i expected.

 

[FrankJH]

Well considering what and how you replied to it certainly appears as though you are

So no penalties should be given out during a race and all handed out at the end, but only if the driver affected didn't retire?

Lewis retiring has no bearing on if cutting a chicane gives you an advantage.
