Stroll was a joke first 5 or 6 races but he's got better progressively. Obviously massive slices of luck to get up there but you take it!

Would the FIA be able to give further punishment to Vettel in theory?

Not that it would actually happen mind you.

I doubt it, probably like most sports in that respect where if you get punished for it during then that's it

He should be banned. They make Hamilton pit because of safety reasons, as they simply can't allow him to continue. Yet someone intentionally ramming another driver is just a stop and go, apparently they're both along the same safety wise

I detested Vettel before this race for being a petulant little **** but this has seen him stoop to a new low

If hammy or any other driver for that fact rammed someone in rage would 100% get a stiffer penalty than a pathetic 10 second.

But during the race, isn't the next penalty level disqualification, after a 10 second stop 'n' go? +25 secs (like Lewis got in Spa a few years back) after the race would have cost less time?

After Maldonaldo hit Lewis during Spa qualifying in 2011, he got a 5-place grid penalty for next race.

deliberate road rage like that, when there's no question of an accidental mistake or anything else, should be toughest penalty which is DQ

I try to keep the polls pretty serious in here. Although I was tempted to change "10" to "Vettel smash"

I gave it a 10 for entertainment value. I love crazy races where nobody in the world would have predicted the podium.

Same. It wasn't a traditionally great race but for entertainment and controversy it's up there.

9 from me.

I don't know if it was deliberate or not because you would have to be pretty stupid to do that deliberately

It's possible he was so mad in the heat of the moment that he over did it because he wasn't paying enough attention

To deny nothing happened on the radio and act stupid was just pure cringe from him though

If he had of hit him harder a DQ would have been fine but it was at slow speed and no damage was caused

He seemed to be looking at Hamilton and not paying enough attention that he was going to hit Hamilton

Utter stupid move whether it was deliberate or not
