So what's happened to this web page? In previous years there would have been all kinds of controversy over stewards decisions!
My take on the Hammy penalty. It was not overly severe because, if you watched the overhead, it appeared (to me at least) that the safety car increased it's speed for a short sprint and then backed off. Which put it up on Hammy. Hammy was left with a decision, go for it or brake. He chose to go for it.
Alonso was in a different postion and a bit further back. Hence his decision.
Hammy was in free air with only Vettel in front. If he ended up behind slower traffic he would have been in trouble.
New comment. Any comments about the flex wing rule. My understandiong, as explained by Matchett and company is that the lead car will not be permitted to use the flexible wing, but the followin car will. Hence allowing more passing.
Why not let the buggers go for it. The Canadian grand prix was a great example of that.
Other rule. the 107 percent rule. If they want more newer teams to apply they had better rethink that sucker.
The powers that be keep insisting that the purpose is to save money, or make the present money go further. Yet they insist on bringing in new rules which increase cost by very large amounts.
