The rules are going to be sorted/clarified. So it won't happen again. well hopefully not on this rule anyway. Which is why Mercedes aren't appealing. As the punishment can not be reversed. So they have got the best outcome they can get.

It is of course entirely possible that rule 40:13 will be "sorted/clarified" so as to make it abundantly clear that the interpretation placed upon it at the Monaco Grand Procession was in fact the intended one

Doesn't work, sunama. He was going sideways and wobbling before Schumacher pulled inside of him into Anthony Noghes.
In that case, Alonso was napping.
It would be interesting if Ferrari could release radio recordings of telling their drivers that overtaking is prohibited on the run-in to the finish line.
Apparently Alonso asked if he could have a go at overtaking Hamilton, but was told by Ferrari, "No."

It's ironic that this silly rule was introduced purely to improve the show for TV cameras. Seeing Alonso get some panic-oversteer and almost knock off the rear quarter? Yes, I think it was really worth it
This is the rule that needs sorting out though.
not really, it is instead of a drive thru penalty. You can not reverse a drive through penalty. So it's not as silly as it first looks.
Other punishments can be reversed.
So far as I am aware, Ferrari do not release their radio traffic (I believe that McLaren do?); who knows what Ferrari told Alonso?
As to Ferrari lying, I'm sure you are right there
i like how ferrari want the spare car brought back since alonso balls up at monaco
i dont see many teams agreeing to that especially when budgets are suposed to be cut its all well and good saying alonso could have won well he didnt and its his own fault people should think about the risks they are taking and accept the result if it doesnt work out

Of course a drive through penalty can be reversed.
You can work out how long it takes for a car to drive through the pits, deduct that time from the driver's overall time and if the driver ended up getting caught up in traffic, based on the comparative lap times you can easily calculate what position the wrongly punished driver would actually have finished. A half-way competent statistician armed with Excel® could do this easily
In fact, why bother to have races at all, just work out the entire series for each year based on qualifying, this could save an absolute fortune.
On reflection, I suspect that Ferrari would insist that in the interests of maintaining historical consistency, rather than Excel®, a Ferrari supplied and approved version of OpenOffice Calc would have to be used

I hope thats a joke.
hes deadly serious what you do is delete the lap which the drive through penalty was performed on and then insert a lap with the average laptime the car managed during the race

Cool. Vettel is getting a new chassis. RBR found a defect on it which could explain why Mark outpaced him in Spain and Monaco

What will he name this one now "Luscious Liz" is out of action??

Wouldn't the sensible decision be to just give Alonso his position back and not penalize Schumi as the rules were unclear?

It's not so much the budgets - it apparently only saves around $400'000 a year. They're still carrying it around, just in pieces rather than a complete car.
It's more to do with garage space. There isn't any.
