For a rear left tyre being 0.36psi under spec? Yes, that would be good for the sport wouldn't it : /

The rules are pretty clear, what if Ferrari ran with a little extra boost than allowed?

I do find it interesting that they took the measurements at the 5 minute board, but waited over an hour to post that on while at the shortest race of the year when it looked extremely likely that Ferrari would end up 3rd on the podium in Italy...

Just interesting... that's all...

Lol, boost is completely different. The DQ that you want ain't going to happen.

It would be typical of them to do that. A ferrari came second as well so it's a given DQ surely

As a ferrari fan I wouldn't want the DQ, would be a cheap win.

A DQ would be ridiculous. It is not like Hamilton won just because his rear left was measured at 0.3 psi under spec at the start of the race.

What did Williams get for having mixed compounds on last race? Should imagine a similar penalty if one does happen.

How can they dq for 0.3 psi when they let Williams Continue to race with mixed compounds and don't even force them to rectify.

Drive through wasn't it.

Do the rules state he should be DQ?

LOL it's breaking the rules just the same, rules are there for a reason.

Even Hamilton TV admit it could be a DQ.

Will be up to the race stewards, but clearly a 25 second penalty is not going to be any punishment.

That is just sky as usual trying to add unnecessary excitement. It has obviously worked for you.

So just for the record, do you think Hamilton should be completely disqualified from the race?

If that is what the rulebook says.

F1 is all about rules as the vehicle is 90% of the sport.

In the long run it won't affect anything anyway, but a DQ would be silly.

So now punishments are tailored against how well or badly you have done in the race are they?

It depends how they read the infringement - did it give them advantage, did it put other drivers at risk? A fine or grid penalty next race seems more likely. A DQ would do a lot of damage to the sport.

Glaucus · 6 Sep 2015 at 14:48

So drive through for Williams last race for using mixed set.
And other tire infringements have been a suspended fine, only payable if the team does it again.

As sky says the chance of DQ is extremely unlikely.

That's not their call. You don't tailor penalties to have a certain "impact". Any penalty should be decided without regard to the race result.
