Poll: Sebastian Vettel

[andicole0]

Should he be penalised for his foul mouthed outburst in Mexico?
I would say yes, maybe we could have a poll please.
I'm not generally against swearing but I thought Sebs outburst, particularly getting personal regarding Charlie Whiting, was way over the top. I don't think any penalty should be race related ie points or grid drop and I don't think a monetary fine would have any effect. Suspend his license? Community service? A difficult one I think.

In my mind it's only when it got personal with Charlie did things get too much.
No one likes a bad loser, which is why people go off drivers at times.

The FIA need to be quicker to sort these things out, likewise 3 laps to give the place back is just silly. Decisions need to be quick and decisive. The teams also need to be grown up enough to sort this out themselves and not require a stewards investigation into something where they already know the outcome.

To be honest, I'd have told Charlie and Max to **** *** as well.

The FIA are only the governing authority, rules are made by a number of bodies and upheld at various levels starting with the teams reporting to Charlie Whiting and the stewards, things then escalate as necessary.
It is unusual for anything in a race to require anything more than a stewards decision. Vettel was penalised for on track discretions but his comments were reported to the FIA as a matter of sporting disrepute charges.
