Bahrain GP 2012 - Sakhir

No penalty for Rosberg. Sad but that's the decision of the stewards.

EDIT: James Allen said on twitter that the decision is only for the move on Lewis. The move on Alonso is being looked at as it's even more extreme.

The stewards reckon NR was ahead enough of LH to make the move

And no penalty for the move against Alonso also. But I still think the move was pretty harsh and too far stretched.

Alonso after the race: "As for the incident with Rosberg, I can only say that if, instead of such a wide run-off area there had been a wall, I’m not sure I’d be here now to talk about it."

And they gave Schumacher a penalty for Hungary 2010. Pssh.. Typical.

(video moved)

[Gerhard Berger]

I see Alonso's point. Remember Hungary 2010, where there was a wall, and Schumacher got alot of grief for his move on Barrichello and ended up getting a penalty.

[cheapracer]

what I saw ..

Exactly, an opinion only.

I see now no penalty for Rosberg on Hamilton or Alonso, so I guess your opinion doesn't stack up to the FIA Steward's ....

Gerhard Berger, there was no wall therefore I would put Alonso's comment squarely into drama queen territory.

Exactly. It's not part of the game anymore. It's part of the politics.

I know there wasn't a wall - Alonso said "IF, there was a wall".

Its not the point whether there was a wall or not. What matters is whether it was the right way to defend your position. MSC got a lot of criticism for his move on Rubens in 2010 and also for his defensive driving at Monza last year. Though I admit he made more than one change of line in certain cases, but he never pushed Lewis out of the track.

If you can deem MSC to be fault for those cases, then why not Rosberg.

[Crucial_Xtreme]

He should get a penalty for this

Kimi and Seb are such good buddies.

Kimi: "Were you using KERS at the exit of the last corner?"
Seb: "Yeah."
Kimi: "Good stuff man, good stuff."

and the bunny ears Vettel made on Kimi during the podium photoshoot.
Love them!

Alonso on twitter:

"I think you are going to have fun in future races! You can defend position as you want and you can overtake outside the track! Enjoy! ))"

[ParanoiD]

Romain on post-race conference was like that he was 'high'
Smiling ear to ear the whole time,Happy for him anyway.

Great drive by Kimi. Lotus was not too bad in China (cold track). Hope they could keep the pace with the other team.

About Schumi complaining about the Pirelli's. Well, does everybody get the same tires?

[Maelstrom]

I know there wasn't a wall - Alonso said "IF, there was a wall".

The question should be that if there was a wall would Alonso have tried the overtaking move in the first place.
