AMuS have reported that the stewards wanted to disqualify Vettel, but didn't want to interfere in the championship fight.
So you can drive like a utter *ladies front bottom* as long as you're in the championship fight...
Except they did interfere in the championship fight by not disqualifying him. Ultimately if you drive like a **** while other drivers follow the rules you don't deserve to get points. The fact is instead of Hamilton closing the gap Vettel extended his lead because they chose to unfairly administer the rules.
Also Vettel got off scot free because he got to change his wing in the red flag while Hamilton didn't get his damage repaired, the fiddled with it but they couldn't repair it at all and he was clearly struggling for pace where earlier in the race he was undoubtedly faster than Vettel. Most importantly he dropped loads of time in S2 where Hamilton was absolutely killing everywhere and where diffuser damage would show up the most. Yes following rather than in clean air but Vettel extended the gap in S2 even when he was following closely behind other cars.
Anyway what about Sainz, anyone else getting bored of the whining little ****. Massively unaware of what is going on around him. Instantly blamed Kvyat for coming back on like a mad man. In reality he saw Kvyat go off and every single other driver in the world would have come back on the same way. Not only that he went tight to the wall and wasn't remotely close to Sainz. If Sainz didn't react at all, there wouldn't have been contact. Sainz monumentally over reacted, instead of just pulling a little to his left if he felt he needed the room he instead spun his car completely. Like Palmer and others he just blames anyone but himself for everything and I think has shown a distinct lack of race craft since joining F1. yes he's made a few nice moves but he's made so many bone headed ones.
On Vettel overall, I think his driving while fast has been so mistake prone the last few years. He was flat out poor against Ricciardo in his last year at RBR. The past couple of years have been full of incidents with him getting involved in stupid turn 1 incidents with Kimi, Verstappen and Kvyat. In Spa I think it was Kimi and verstappen were inside him and he cut into Kimi which caused contact with Verstappen. Just ignorant and stupid driving, he started wide in T1 and should have stayed wide, assume there could be a car up the inside but he didn't. Both him and Kimi were at fault in Hungary, Kimi swung back across assuming again there was no one inside Vettel, but Vettel also cut into Kvyat anyway. His screaming at Charlie, his inability to see Hamilton would be slow before taking turn 16 even though he'd done the same thing at the previous restart, then the absolutely unacceptable outburst following what was entirely his mistake. I'm getting pretty fed up with all the incidents Seb is getting in to which just seem stupid and mostly very avoidable.
I think it's happening with a lot of drivers though, people particularly at the start who change lines through T1. Start wide, at the start stay wide, if you're inside, stay inside, if you're in the middle stay in the middle. I forget who cut off Bottas was it in Australia or somewhere after that, he was forced to basically go off track as someone cut inside despite being in the middle of the track entering the corner. Sainz on Grosjean in Canada, it seems to be happening so often and with fairly dangerous consequences. It's what Grosjean did in Spa but that resulted in such a bad crash he got banned while Sainz does something equally stupid and gets a minor penalty because a championship challenger wasn't taken out.
