I don't think that is ever a penalty. If Vettel was alongside at any stage, even more so if alongside into the corner that is one thing. But Vettel wasn't remotely close to the overtake there.

I don't think that would ever be a penalty before, you skip a corner when actually being passed then yeah, give it back. But Vettel was honestly miles back, he wasn't trying to pass him, he'd tucked in. Verstappen made a mistake and cut the corner, the time gap was a little dodgy but most of the time I think at most they'd be told to let them gain back to the same gap as before.

I agree with DM

Hope RB appeals and it gets overturned

I think Vettel is ahead of Verstappen half way through the corner and on track. But because it is a chicane Verstappen continuing to cut the corner gets him back out in front.

Tell Charlie to F off was part of it

Maybe I didn't see the right race.

Hamilton wasn't fighting against anyone and didn't loose or gain an advantage to anyone.

Rosberg was practially forced off the track by max, no penalty given, good.

Vettle and Max were neck and neck, max locks on breaking and goes across. They didn't hit = should be a penalty.

 

[.:MBK:.]

Has Vettel been weighed yet?

think that's what they spoke about, he had already been to the "losers" weigh in.

 

[UTmaniac]

Are the stewards considering Ricci Lake vs Vettel incident?

 

[antijoke]

Here's a message for Charlie... go **** yourself.

Channel 4's beeping was not great today

I believe it was 'here's a message for Charlie, "**** you*'

Hahahahahaha, epic.

It's a case of, if you can ONLY keep the place by going off track then you have to concede the place, but if staying on track you would have easily kept the place it's just a mistake and not worthy of a penalty in the slightest.

oh bore off.. we know you love vestappen. talk about blinded by love.

So someone can cut that corner every lap as long as nobody is ahead of them?

Don't be stupid.

Best radio of the season.

Plus he rejoins at the next corner in affect not having to negotiate two corners.

The mistake is made under braking from the lock up, Vettel is an absolute mile behind him at that point, he's given up trying for the overtake, that is where you judge it from. He had the clear lead into the corner and into braking.

Deserved penalty for Max, only issue is why did Lewis not get the same.

even if lewis did get the same he would still be 1st....

Are the stewards considering Ricci Lake vs Vettel incident?

Yes, but we haven't been told the outcome.

Can't see them doing anything.

 

[timmeh]

The way it's going McLaren could end up on the podium!

The fact his own teams immediate reaction after it was that he should give the place back says it all.

 

[Jono8]

Vettle and Max were neck and neck,

Nope

 

[Concrete]

Vettel finally showing some Italian passion, will improve his standing at Ferrari no end.

Still think he will get a penalty for the next race for saying that, but I think in the scheme of things he probably won't be too upset.

They weren't neck a neck, they weren't even close to level when he locked up.
