Sebastian Vettel has led the Bahrain GP from start to finish to win his first GP of the season. Kimi Räikkönen brough his Lotus car home in second place after a few unfortunate races. His teammate Grosjean finished third to complete a great result for Lotus.
Doesn't look like that from this video.kenny5 wrote:Is this the same alonso that overtook his teamamte early last season, in the pit lane entrance, with all 4 wheels off the track..banibhusan wrote:Alonso on twitter:

what goes around, comes around.
Point noted from the BBC highlights. Schumacher feels that Pirelli need to re-look at the tyre strategy as drivers can only drive to a maximum speed dictated by the tyres. If the majority of drivers feel this way, then maybe he has a point.McMrocks wrote:schumi at the moment on german TV is talking about the tyres.
He said they drive with 70-80% through the corners. He asks if the tyres should have such a majority in the races
I think rosberg's moves were sudden and erratic, and liable to cause an accident. Those moves aren't normal defending.JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:For me it's quite clear.
Alonso had the choice of taking the racing line. Nico left him ample room for it.
As the rule states a driver can defend his position using a single manoeuvre.
Nico did just that.
Alonso chose to follow nico into a disappearing gap. That falls on his shoulders as nico is ahead and can choose his own route out the corner onto the straight using the aforementioned rule.
Quite the opposite. In fact, the stewards decided there was nothing to penalize Rosberg for exactly because his moves were made "in a constant and continuous straight line manner".ringo wrote:I think rosberg's moves were sudden and erratic, and liable to cause an accident.

That's just from watching the video.
and where can we use latest rule that when you change you driving line you have to stick with it and not come back in racing line?andartop wrote:Quite the opposite.

well, I more than expected this. It is the usual F1 politics. Remember, Merc still have not agreed to sign the new Concord agreement......cheapracer wrote:Exactly, an opinion only.beelsebob wrote:what I saw ..
I see now no penalty for Rosberg on Hamilton or Alonso, so I guess your opinion doesn't stack up to the FIA Steward's ....
Gerhard Berger, there was no wall therefore I would put Alonso's comment squarely into drama queen territory.
As long as he leaves a car width of space, he can come back to racing line.radosav wrote:and where can we use latest rule that when you change you driving line you have to stick with it and not come back in racing line?andartop wrote:Quite the opposite.

yep, give HAM a penalty for that.motobaleno wrote:well someone think rosberg move was legal some others think not...who knows? One thing is ABSOLUTELY SURE though: the stewards are wrong. infact if rosberg move was legal then hamilton should have been penalized since he overtook rosberg off the track
The last line of the Steward's statement re: Hamilton is more instructive:andartop wrote:The latest rule applies while returning to the racing line to enter the next corner, after you've made your defensive move, where you must leave at least a car's width to the outside. This does not apply here as in the first incident Hamilton did overtake Rosberg by driving off track, so was already ahead of him when Rosberg was returning to the racing line, and in the second incident Rosberg did leave enough room for Alonso on the outside before entering the next corner.
Still looking for an answer as to why Hamilton was not penalized for going off track to overtake Rosberg. I'm not saying I want Hamilton to get a penalty, but if Rosberg didn't push Hamilton out of the track, which is what the stewards are saying, then Hamilton chose to go off track to overtake!
