Yes...but they only mean that we will have no fight between them at the start. Not more.
The incredible starting performance of the Mercs, the cars in front of him with no downforce at all, Vettel on P2 who is 30km/h slower on the straight once DRS is activated...there is no doubt, that he will be on P2 after lap 3. The Merc is more than a second faster then the rest. This qualifying performance of today is overrated.
With the restart it took until lap 4...again great racing from Button...

Alonso should be penalized, but damn, he's fun to watch.

Great racing from Alonso. Shame he might be getting a penalty...

I don't think it is even up for discussion. Clear penalty.

Vettel in clean air is doing same lap times as mercs up front. At least it's something.

5 s ? :lol: That's harsh, reprimand would be enough.

Speaking of Ferrari drivers: - did he go back on track into the paths of other cars? Yes - did he lose control and smash into the wall, bounce back and caused a collsion? Yes. Car problems? Perez got for 50/50-ish wheel to wheel racing incident with slightly broken car (weird lines, breaking points) clear 5 places penalty, no questions asked.

A 5s stop and go is effectively a 30+ second penalty. More penalty than the advantage that was gained being out of position.

Raikkonen's move to re-enter the track couldn't have been more appropriate if Charlie Whiting had extended an official FIA invitation to do so; he had all sorts of room. His car just bounced out of a ditch, and he lost control because of it.

Racing incident.

In other words, --- happens.

Is Hamilton going to go for a one-stopper?
