No doubting as, ultimately, I believe tRP have a cunning plan to show Vettel upstaged by Stroll so they can claim that the latter is “faster than a 4X WDC driver!”

 

The rules keep changing all the time, and what was tolerated yesterday is forbidden today.
In the whole, F1 didn't gain much with the introduction of stewards at GPs.
They justify their position by some nit-picking that have nothing to do with racing, or safety.
There is no consistancy in the ruling, mostly with the issue of track limits, IMO.

 

Ha-ha, true.

Who knows, maybe he’ll actually come good again. As long as he stays behind the reds, I’ll be ok with it—but I except he’ll try harder against them than with the others.

 

How stupid is this? Because he played the conspiracy card as usual he now gets the penalty removed? Rules are rules regardless what the team told you on the radio. If I kill somebody and prove someone told me it was ok to do so, I don’t get out of jail. Ridiculous

 

Probably same Stroll had with Perez to bring down Force India

 

There is another way to deal with this. Design the tracks so that leaving the course results in a significant loss of time. Some of the newer Tilke tracks, like Austin, are just painted on the asphalt. Run off the track and the driver is subjected to a not so scary color change. Monaco and Baku are self-penalizing, miss a turn, or cut it too close and the track metes out the penalty on the spot. Other tracks could start by making the sausage curbs higher. If leaving the track will damage the car drivers will not be tempted to do it.

 

An apt avatar you have, for posts like that .

 

We don't need stewards to enforce track limits; higher sausage kerbs would do the job and are the easiest solutions, IMO.
They would bring the same results on wide tracks than hitting the wall in street circuits.

 

The 10 second penalty remains, the 2 points on his license are removed.

 

Totally agree, this is how to be a cool racing driver. LH this is how to be a spoiled brat. Rules are rules Mr H, you applied them to others many times. Mind you buying the penalty points back with a fine is stupid

Leclerc - should of been driver of the day - fantastic performance in a donkey.

Sainz -- oops

 

Please, try to be realistic! You can paint anything on the track, it's just useless.
If you give the physical possibility for a driver to use a piece of tarmac allowing him to take a corner at higher speed, he will use it.
I would bet anything on that! If there is no immediate damage to their car, they will all do it.

 

Any off-track would mean an immediate drive through, and all off-tracks should be treated the same way without discussion, don't you think?
And I mean ANY, forced or not. When you are blocked by another driver in a move, you should lift, not go off track, don't you agree?

 

Yes, thats why i would loved to have seen DR at Ferrari for next year, he would in my opinion be a great team player with CL and bring some enjoyment back to the team with that continuous smile. Thats worth 10 points on its own!!
