Sebastian Vettel has won the Canadian Grand Prix at Montreal in dominant fashion after starting from pole position. The fights were all happening behind him, with Alonso emerging in second place, followed by Lewis Hamilton who completes the podium for Mercedes AMG.
No matter if a blue flag, yellow has the priority. But here seems to be yellow-red, is that for 'debris on track'?zeph wrote:Yes, it was yellow but he was not overtaking. He was lapping a backmarker under the blue flag.
Contact twice on the same right rear tire. Reminded me of Malaysia 2010 with Lewis and Alonso.andartop wrote:Really sad indeed. They should be booing all other drivers for failing to challenge Vettel and allowing him to run away with it.
Was it just me or did anyone else think there was an ever so slight contact between Lewis and Alonso during the overtake?

I agree there is inconsistency, but clearly there was no attempt to pull aside and let Hamilton through. The rules are clear on that: you are allowed to ignore the flags 2 times, at the 3d one you are forced to slow down and let the ones behind go through. The blue flags are there to stop you from minding your own race and minding the race of the ones behind you.iotar__ wrote:Sutil's penalty was bullshit. He didn't try to prevent the pass, he was driving his own race, I've seen worse ones not penalized, he's right talking about double standards. Being in front of lapping car is not the same as blocking, it's up to the driver behind to make the pass, it's up to driver in front to let be passed. Here it was at worst borderline.
For some teams and drivers stewards are trigger happy, it's as Red Bull put it F1 is like fake wrestling. Consistency of stewarding should be a subject of discussion not constant tyres yapping.
True, but if you watch back, neither Raikkonen or Bottas didn't receive a blue flag for quite a while.Juzh wrote:Well if the stewards wanted to be consistent raikkonen should also get a penalty for impeeding vettel which cost him 3.5s in 1 lap.
So its the marshal's fault? He was behind them for almost entire lap.MuseF1 wrote:True, but if you watch back, neither Raikkonen or Bottas didn't receive a blue flag for quite a while.Juzh wrote:Well if the stewards wanted to be consistent raikkonen should also get a penalty for impeeding vettel which cost him 3.5s in 1 lap.
Yes, poor marshalling. When your racing hard, why slow yourself down when you haven't received a blue flag? I think the rules state something along the lines of 'once your given a blue flag you have to allow a pass within 3 marshall posts', hence why there was no penalty, because there were no flags.Juzh wrote:So its the marshal's fault?

Fans are to be respected as well (within reason) they're not scripted puppets that must applaud on the cue of the FoM or FIA.Juzh wrote:Pathethic stuff on the fans behalf. But what can you do.

Well this is a sad thing to hear right now may he rest in peace and his family are taken care of.ced381 wrote:It appears the man has died from his injuries. Very sad story.
