Kimi Raikkonen has won a thrilling race that was full of action from start to finish. The Finn marks his first win since his return to Formula One and in the end fended off a charging Alonso who finishes second. Sebastian Vettel finished third after having started from 24th position.
Agreed. They were warned about it the reporcusions. It is an absolute dumb mistake, and they are punished accordingly.Omegadez wrote:If that was the way they would be doing this sort of stuff all the time, and if they didn't let Hamilton get away with it why should they let him???Then the team should Get the Penalty not The Driver ..
It would have been better if Red Bull got DQ from the WCC and Vettel kept his 3rd place

He is at his 8th engine.turbof1 wrote:Could someone give me a heads up about the engines? Is vettel currently fitted with his seventh or eight engine? That could be crucial, as he could spend a ninth then this weekend. If he has his seventh fitted it will not bring any advantage, as he would go to his eight then.
Concerning they were DSQ from Q (they haven't received a penalty), shouldn't that result in penalties for next Q session? Just asking...LionKing wrote: The smart thing for RBR to do is change the engine and the gearbox...

It's a grid penalty, applied on vettel's position on the grid. He starts 24th, so the penalty will most likely be applied this race.Vanja #66 wrote:Concerning they were DSQ from Q (they haven't received a penalty), shouldn't that result in penalties for next Q session?
