cosmiccyclist8 said:You honestly deserve that penalty. Did you even see how he entered the track?

Do you think he could have made it back under 90 seconds?

He had plenty of room to rejoin on the left side of the track. The car was fine. But he knew Lewis Hamilton was coming up fast on his right, so he jerked the wheel to avoid him. You can't argue with that penalty. People can complain all they want, but the call was fair.

Strip him naked! Not a single soul is stepping up to defend him...

Even without a penalty, he would have messed up anyway

If I were standing in Sebastian Vettel's shoes right now, I wouldn't even bother stepping onto the podium.

And honestly? This guy isn't even a fan—he’s just a hater at this point. But man, this whole thing feels less like actual racing and more like some weird soap opera drama.

Jerry Moore61 said:Oh, sure, let's just go ahead and worship Hamilton now. Like, would we even be talking about a five-second penalty if the roles were reversed?

If Vettel had been braking while sliding off into the grass, he would have absolutely plowed straight into Hamilton, no question about it. Look, Vettel totally blew it by losing control and flying onto the turf. Everything else happening here is just a direct result of him losing his damn focus.

It’s just like what happened back in Azerbaijan when he lost it for a split second and slammed right into LH.

Jerry Moore61 said:And now we’re all Lewis Hamilton fans. I wonder if they’d be crying about a five-second penalty if the roles were reversed.

Well, Lewis wouldn't have done it that way—so there wouldn't even be a penalty to talk about.

Jerry Moore61 said:If Vettel had braked while coming off the grass, he would have just plowed straight into Lewis Hamilton. Vettel really messed up by losing traction on the grass—everything else was just a byproduct of him losing focus.

Right, but last year when Max was racing Suzuki against Raikkonen, a penalty for the exact same thing was considered totally justified? It seems like the Vettel fans are the only ones clinging to these double standards. Luckily, the stewards don't seem to follow that logic. ☕

Jason Campbell70 said:Listen, guys—if the stewards looked at the telemetry and saw that Lewis had to slam on the brakes just to avoid a massive collision with Sebastian Vettel ahead of him, then the penalty is 100% justified.

Whether they’re fighting for first place or battling for 21st... honestly, it doesn't matter one bit.

Oh, right—it was visible on the TV broadcast even if it didn't show up in the official telemetry. If Max managed to pull that off in the Suzuki 2018, then this situation is absolutely identical.

The penalty is as clear as day.

Mount Rushmore, that's a top ten move right there.

gentlemoose57 said:Well, it was clear enough on the broadcast, even if the telemetry didn't show it. If Max managed to pull that off in the Suzuki 2018, this is essentially the same thing.

It’s a blatant penalty—just plain and simple.

Exactly right.

Signed. Look, I'm not a big Vettel supporter, but this is just ridiculous.
If it were Lewis Hamilton, they would have slapped him with a penalty in a heartbeat. He’s more reliable than a heavy-duty Ford truck.

Just a total joke of a penalty.

I mean, how much was Max even looking before he got caught out?

What a circus.

I really don't have the energy to deal with everyone dragging up comments from Suzuka 2018 🙂 being here right now. Back then, people were attacking Max and practically begging for a disqualification—even though he did the exact same thing to Kimi (which resulted in the same five-second penalty Seb got today). But suddenly, today... 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂"
