Everyone else keeps messing up while he stays quiet, keeps his cool, and just drives. I'm not exactly a fan—he's kind of like a chewed-up tire to me—but he’s good. 😉
stormybadger8 said:I suppose they really should have shown Alonso the black flag right after that start; if they had just issued a disqualification then, the whole matter would be settled. He actually drove a pretty solid race, but I guess in any sport, starting like that deserves a disqualification because those kinds of dirty tactics really ought to be penalized properly.😳

He gained an unfair advantage, so they took it away... simple as that.
stormybadger8 said:That’s just plain cheating. Is there any sport where you don't get penalized for using hooks? 🙂
Michael Lee4 said:Looking at Vettel and Hamilton going through the pits right now... they're basically repeating everything from '16. Hamilton overtook him on the entry, just like Alonso did to Massa, and then on the exit, Vettel shoved Hamilton to the right, off the track. Both should get penalized.

Vitali Great 🙏
Jason Campbell70 said:In Formula 1, they hand out a drive-through penalty for that.
Before they started doing drive-throughs, they used to hit them with a stop-and-go (10 seconds).
Which part of this is confusing you? ☕
stormybadger8 said:They really should have pulled out the black flag for that mess at the start. Honestly? A disqualification right then and there would've been the move. I mean, look, he drove a hell of a race once things actually got moving, but you can't just pull dirty stunts like that at the lights and expect to walk away clean. In any sport, if you play that kind of dirty, they've gotta hand out the DQ. That’s how you keep the game fair, isn't it? You can't reward those kinds of cheap moves.😳

stormybadger8 said:They really should have waved a black flag at Alonso for that move at the start; a disqualification would have been the right call. He actually drove a solid race, but in any competitive sport, you can't get away with those kinds of dirty tactics without being penalized. It’s just how the rules work—you play fair or you pay the price.😳
stormybadger8 said:🤷I mean, maybe, though I honestly can't see any reason to hand out a penalty to anyone here; there wasn't any pushing involved, nor did anyone cross the white line, so I don't get the fuss. Hamilton simply pulled out from behind Vettel and moved laterally to hold his position, which isn't pushing at all.😕
Maybe they can hit them with a speeding penalty, but honestly, I can't see any other valid reason for it. If we’re actually looking to hand out punishments, they really ought to be going after Massa and Alonso first for that aggressive shoving during the pit lane entry.
gentlebear47 said:What a joke, the penalty was just a drive-through and he handled it like a total pro...🙄
