2018 Brazilian Grand Prix - Interlagos, 9-11 November

This is becoming dangerous now. Both Vettel and Hamilton should have got penalties for their behaviour today. Other drivers did get them trough the season, for even less dangerous actions. And its all due to the constructors title. It just shows how rest of the field is practically worthless to the FIA, and how faked the F1 has become. There should be no tolerance for dangerous behaviour of any driver, no matter where is his position in the standings.

Only grievance I have is, that there is no video "of the scales being thrown out behind the car".

It's been this biased since the 80s! (possibly longer but I'm not that old).

VET should have been DSQed from Qualifying. (VET recently told ABMS that he doesn't have amental coach...ffs he should hire one ASAP, this silly beahavior from him is just embarrassing now).
HAM should have gotten 6 place grid penalty.

HAM should have gotten 6 place grid penalty.

For what ? Blocking someone on their out lap ?

Sirotkin looks actually intentional... he looks into the mirror and bang.
lol, prob trying to teach some respect https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/13996 ... n-nearmiss

Seems some are more upset about this than Sirotkin, probably because they were not there;

“To be honest, nothing I’m not angry with him. I needed to push that lap to get my tyres. It was all a bit unplanned where we were and we could not put the tyres in the blankets between the runs so we were massively down on temps.

“Basically that out-lap was as quick as my any other lap, almost. I was properly flat out, I was coming through the very quick left-hander there, and he was stopping to prepare his lap.

“I went on the left, not even hoping that he would let me go because he was so slow and I was coming so quickly and then in the last minute he saw me and tried to avoid me.

“He gave me the racing line but I was already on the left so I had to pass through the grass and basically my lap was ruined after that.

“But he’s a champion, he knows what he’s doing and didn’t change my position at the end of the day. But it’s a good day in general,”

[FrukostScones]

good diplomat Mr. Sirotkin ...
but does it make sense what he says ; )

[nevill3]

I like Sirotkin's input, it shows that he understands that mistakes happen, there was no willful intent on either parties side and no one was hurt in the incident.

Kimi's response too shows the same level of understanding, he realised that Hamilton was going slower and made the decision to go left, under normal situations Hamilton would have been on the left of the track and Kimi would have passed to the right but Kimi came up behind him just where the track opens up on the left for the pit exit which meant Hamilton appeared to be in the middle of the track .

The media's headlines of Hamilton accusing Sirotkin of disrespect are just sensationalism, If you read Hamiltons actual comments or hear his words you get the true story.

running someone off the road

Lol, k.

Id like to add that it was only meters from the final turn which is a place where you really don't expect another car on an outlap to overtake you. If someone passed you going in to the final turn (proper turn where you need to brake) then your lap is wrecked unless you can repass before T1 which is what Lewis did.

LH didn't impeed, SS and Williams didn't protest. It was an honest mistake.

SV trying to run over an FIA official? On purpose? How did he get away with that...

[i70q7m7ghw]

Hamilton should have gotten a penalty for this, whether it was intentional or not, the move was incredibly dangerous. The sole reason he didn't get penalized was because they both were of an outlap.

But that's what the rule is for? i.e. the penalty is for wrecking someones lap, SS wasn't on a hot lap so no rules broken.

Ironically, he moved because he was trying to avoid wrecking someones hot lap which would have got him a penalty. Maybe they should just scrap the rule alltogether? i.e. if there's traffic on your hotlap, overtake it.

What’s the likelihood of rain during the race time tomorrow guys and girls?

My simple app is suggesting 40%, anyone got a trusty guide?

Trying to run over an FIA official on purpose?

Do you even read what you're writing there? I mean.. I don't even know how to react to it. So, let me ask.. did Vettel try to run off an FIA official on purpose, but didn't manage to do it because he confused the brake with the throttle?
