2012 Monaco GP - Monte Carlo

To be fair, the punishments seem disproportionate because having your practice/qualy times deleted isn't technically a punishment, it's the unavoidable result of running a non-compliant car.

But yes, there's a point where latin flair turns into disregard for colleague's safety.

It was only a non-compliant car because they put the requirement to return to the pits after your qualifying lap into the technical regulations instead of the sporting regulations where it belonged. So either way it's an FIA cockup.

I seem to remember a certain Super Aguri driver having his super licence revoked because he was constantly spinning out and was deemed to be a danger to other drivers. All accidentally incidents, but deemed to be dangerous.

Maldonado has now been caught twice using his car as a weapon and putting lives in danger, but he still has his licence, and he's still taking part in qualifying and the race. Where is the logic?

[Gridlock]

It'll be nothing compared to the lifting of his lifetime Monaco ban if he goes one 'better' and injures someone next time. But then who holds the FIA accountable?

Looked llike the car didn't want to turn in.

[FrukostScones]

too quick, there he goes

[Hail22]

Looked like he was just going straight...yet his steering wheel was opposite locked? strange...

[SeijaKessen]

Maldonado needs to chill out.

There was no reason for doing what he did.

[JMN]

Did Perez just break the steering rack going over the kerb? Full lock but wheels kept going straight. Could've been weakened by the incident with Igor.

yep, steering was indeed strange.

[Hail22]

Suspension failure front left? the left tyre looked like it wanted to pull left...could of been an alignment issue from hitting/kissing a barrier?

The McLaren's traction out of the last turn is *awful*. They're consistently losing about 0.2-0.3 seconds in the last 2 turns.
