RBR's fastest through the speedtrap. How's that on a high-speed track like Monza with what is supposedly the second-slowest PU ?

Let's see if RIC can catch VET...

Was Palmer attacking alonso when it happend ? Judging by their pace i guess he was. So 5 second penalty was probably worse than give the place back. If they told him to give it back straight away, he would have passed him eventually and been up the road by now

By the time they decided he was already 4.8 ahead. It was in real terms a punishless punishment. I can't blame Alonso for being livid.

Well.........As much as he should have been punished better I do feel for the guy as his car has been rubbish this year.

Probably gonna run out of laps before he gets a shot at an overtake.

Mercedes 1-2, 30 seconds ahead of Ferrari. At their home race, with Marchionne there.

Could there be a bigger FU?

I do think Verstappen should be penalized for that move on Magnussen.

Like I said yesterday and I'll say it again. Hamilton (and now Bottas) have just figuratively kicked Ferrari to death on their own track. Added to the fact that Mercedes were able to turn their engines down and cruise.
