He agrees with the fact that it was erratic driving, but not with the penalty. Russell definitely didn't react as well as he could've to that type of driving. I think penalty was deserved to discourage the games. Alonso's definitely done it before - someone on Reddit with a longer memory than me found this, same behaviour, similar result, no penalty. https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/1bnm9i9/fernando_alonso_brake_checks_david_coulthard/ I'm on the deserved penalty train, although that's definitely outcome biased. | ||

Alonso has previous for it, on coulthard if I remember correctly and a 20sec penalty isn't harsh at all imo. He's a great driver over the years you have seen his true colours, this is just another example. Just to shoot in, Aston didn't dispute not because they agreed with it, but because they couldn't. You can only dispute a decision if there is new evidence, not because you disagree with it | ||

From what I'm gathering, most people who actually knows about racing disagrees with the penalty, or at least the severity of it. It definitively isn't as black and white as "hurp derp brake check!" as some disingenuous people might be clamouring on about. In no other racing serious would Fernando be found at fault. However, F1 isn't just any racing series. It's downforce dependant, and fast enough to be dangerous even with all the modern safety developments. It's clear FIA here has taken a stance putting safety above racing. On one side you can applaud them for that mindset, but on the other I'm not thoroughly enjoying the idea of punishing racing aspects because the guy behind didn't pay attention. | ||

Safety is important but was this really unsafe enough to warrant that high a penalty or did the crash just make it look too unsafe? As was mentioned before: The reason this was penalized was because it resulted in a heavy crash. | ||

I don't think Stroll could've passed Yuki on track without a big tire advantage though, Stroll was just keeping up on the straights even with DRS. Just had way too much wing, could pass where nobody else really could through the first sector when he had the tire advantage and the extra downforce, but just was nowhere once it came to straight line speed. Fair play to Yuki though, absolutely maximized what he was given. A point when none of the top 5 teams have issues is pretty amazing. | ||

Gz to Sainz for picking the correct strategy tho, and to Yuki for absolutely maximizing any possible result he could have hoped for in that shitbox of a car | ||

Im honestly glad that lance has a seat for once. | ||

But I feel like if they're going to dish out punishments as harsh as this for every little bit of mild contact, all you're doing is actively discourage wheel to wheel fighting. That's pretty much the exact opposite of what we want from F1 right now | ||

Yes it is totally his fault but this makes it look like you should not try to defend your position more than blocking the inside or outside line. It was super fun to watch, most interesting part of the race, and Isn t it borederline what racing is all about? Drivers fighting for position? Also how come did they put Alonso and send him out again? With so few laps to go I refuse to think they needed other data, as most team where aiming at with this sprint; Does this have to do with doing over 90% of the race because aston kinda knew he was going to get a penalty? And how would a 10 second penalty apply to a driver that retires the car under 90% of race completed then? As usual the FIA play more by their own rule book, even though the rule list is longer than Alonso’s career heh | ||

And how would a 10 second penalty apply to a driver that retires the car under 90% of race completed then? As usual the FIA play more by their own rule book, even though the rule list is longer than Alonso’s career heh The default position for all teams is to try to send the driver back out, even if they're last. You don't generally retire the car just because you're not doing well. Presumably they sent him out, found something else wrong with the car, and then decided to pit. I don't think avoiding future penalty was in the forefront of their minds, tho I'm not a mindreader so I can't guarantee it. That said, if they had retired the car the first time around, they wouldn't have been designated as having finished the race (exactly because of the 90% rule, yes), and the penalty would have become a grid drop for the feature. So they got fairly lucky with that bit at least. | ||
