2012 European GP - Valencia

I wonder if Pastor did it on purpose after Lewis crowded him off the track after his initial move. Lost his temper and just said well have this...I see a position penalty for the next race for sure. And this after everyone was implying after his maiden win that he was someone to watch for future wins...

If this is the case then its just more evidence that he should not be in F1, it is not an environment where loosing your temper is an option as you dont just endanger yourself! Unfortunately we have seen in the past tat Igor has anger management issues

He amazes me, I'll admit I've never been much of a fan because I always thought of him as a moaner (I was wrong), but he has completely won me over this season. I can't think of a better wheel to wheel racer ever in Formula 1.

Why would they do that?

Honestly, I think he deserves a one race ban – not necessarily for this move, but for the accumulation of crazy dangerous things he's done.

I hope they punish alonso for stopping on track!

DRS at yellow flag

What is the speed limit when safety car is out?
Because Karthikeyan drove his fastest time in Sektor 1 while SC:

And could the Schumacher conspiracy loonies please explain his podium finish?

Wait for it... there might be some DRS issues, lets see what the stewards say^^

The psychology of F1 fans today is an interesting subject.

better cry for MSC on the podium than for the recent demise of f1

Maldonado is an Idiot for ruining his race, he should have waited one or two corners than he would have been past. HAM is a bit to blame because he thought he could keep him at bay... threw away a lot of points. But it is good for the season that VET dnf, ALO will be catched and it will continue to be a awesome season like it already is!

Using DRS under yellow flags I think.

I can see him arguing that hamilton should have left space for him instead of turning at the apex, as he was still somehow on his side. Off-track yes, but then again he will say hamilton put him there.

I'm sure he will argue that, but Hamilton had the inside line, pushed him wide, and Maldonado had all four wheels off the road. He then drove clean in to the side of Hamilton. Had he somehow made it past then he would have to have given the place back for cutting the corner like that.

[Teechnical]

I hope you get your eyes fixed and read the regulations before posting something stupid.

[skgoa]

Actually no, he did not. He had two wheels back on the racetrack and both drivers were going parallel, whhen Hamilton decided to try making the apex of the upcoming corner and turned into him Maldo. Yes, Maldonado could have relented but Hamilton really couldn't expect him to. I.e. both were being stupid.

Vettel... I knew his engine was gonna go after the Safety car. THose tight sidepods don't go well with cooling.

That's a bold statement, considering that the alternator broke and thus cooling had nothing to do with it.

much worse hamilton who performed an uncorrect move to mantain an impossible position.

Wonder if they'll investigate Raikkonen as well.

Interesting side fact, Webber is now second in the drivers championship ahead of Vettel!
