I am the only one who hated the last lap coverage of the race from FOM? We barely saw Hamilton & Webber’s battle – and then we completely missed Webber & Perez! Just to watch Vettel cruise around, I think that is […]

lightsout commented on the post, Hamilton gets gearbox change penalty 1 month ago
This always gets into the fact the 5-place grid penalty for gearbox penalties is not well liked by the fans. In this event, it is really worse, as it isn’t Mercedes’ fault by all accounts as the tyre gave up!

Easy? Well Vettel didn’t make it easy, but he wouldn’t have got past otherwise which is always the issue with two very closely matched cars. Also if they’d geared the Redbull better he may not have gotten past at all!

The problem is that it is necessary – no way Hamilton would have got past Vettel otherwise. Even Button was having a lot of trouble getting past Kimi.
Is it the perfect solution? No, I’d rather go for a […]

I said yes….but with similar logic, what about Senna & Di Resta?!

lightsout commented on the post, Maldonado, Kobayashi and Vergne penalised, Schumacher not 11 months ago
I’m pretty certain that when Maldonado passed Webber at the last corner, he pushed Webber off track which caused him to lose two positions to the Force Indias.
Whilst I don’t agree you should be able to […]

A fast car in qualifying doesn’t mean a fast car in the race though.

I think these two pictures are worth a view to remind us about this.

lightsout commented on the post, Spain to rotate F1 race venues, France return in doubt 1 year ago
I think such punishment, especially one that is totally outside the control of the driver, is just too harsh. The reasons I’m comparing it to those events, as they’re events of other penalties which (especially in […]

The scope of the penalty is just the difference. When else has such a penalty happened? Schumacher parking his car in Monaco in 2006 got the same penalty. Schumacher pushed Barrichello into the wall only got him a […]

lightsout commented on the post, Hamilton penalty hands Maldonado first pole position 1 year ago
I found this decision to be highly strange. Yes, I’m a Hamilton fan and I did expect some kind of penalty but this seems really harsh. The only other time someone has been sent to the back of the grid like this […]

By that same definiton, the Vettel on Rosberg one shouldn’t be on it either right?

Martin also said Hamilton’s overtake on Schumacher was great as I recall!
Perhaps Massa had another option, and apply the brakes? As Lewis said, he was backing out.

There was a lot of bitter voting on Monaco, as people were frustrated Vettel got a free change of tyres. I must admit, I was one of them! After that, the last 10 laps were meaningless for the lead.

Sadly there were two cars in the air… absolutely horrible crash. These days we’re used to having people survive really heavy crashes all the the time, but that was so bad I am just surprised it was only one who […]
