Rules say stay off the track until all cars are off the track in parc ferme. Simple.

Two cars had to dodge the parked Ferrari on the exit of the blind corner.

Webber was running around on the race track in front of one of those cars who had to alter his path to miss both him and the Ferrari.

The other had to go off the track to avoid them.

A reprimand doesn't seem out of order at all.

Well, I will start passing the hat around now to cover the fines Webber is going to be handed at the end of the season when he drops some helis/burnouts in Brazil. It will happen.

I get the rules and what happened. I just find it a bit silly that it is a ten spot penalty for the next GP! And yes I udnerstand its because its his 3rd reprimand. I just went back and looked at the Bahrain clash with Rosberg and its a bit silly that Webebr chopping off Rosbergs nose after he awkwardly placed it up the inside into a disappearing gap and earnt Webber a 10 spot penalty.

Anyway... this is as silly as the fine that Hamo got back at Silverstone a few years ago hecause he dropped a donut or Alonso's fine in Spain the other year when he won!

Also seems the booing of Vettel is here to stay. I would rather it didnt happen but ultimately dont really have a problem with it. Commentators seemingly agree its part his dominance, part his perceived status at RBR but mostly what happened in Malaysia. I guess Karma is a b&$ch!

you would think that there would be mention of Alonso doing 100kph+ with mark there more of a reason to reprimand?

I see no issue with what they did. if they cant dodge an obstacle at 40 - 60 kph how the fark are they expected to when on the noise.

Yeah I was pissed at Webber's penalty until I saw the CCTV footage. That was dumb, stopping just around from a blind corner was dumb. Alonso should have pulled off the track. Webber shouldn't have played frogger with other cars on cooldown lap to get a lift. A reprimand for both drivers is justified IMO.

10 spots is a harsh penalty, Mark seems to cop it from all sides sometimes but it's a consequence of a 3rd reprimand so fair enough. tough luck, son. F1 should be held to the highest standard for all concerned, just because something happened in GP2 doesn't make it OK for F1 to lower its standards. Having said that, some leeway for sportsmanship and showmanship should be given. Schuey used to dance and sing a bit on the podium until some grand poo-bah got their nose out of joint, and drivers used to do a bit of a burnout to celebrate now and then. none of that happens, it's f**king boring yes sir no sir i have a really itchy spot on my forehead by the way did you see the nice big watch i'm flashing in front of the camera (massa is an expert of that move during post-race interviews).

I agree with burnouts at brazil until the tyres pop. it would be so worth it. f**k bernie and his increasingly shitty formula.

I have decided I am going to be one eyed on this! :) Plus, they can say what they want...the fact the FIA have come out this week and said drivers are not allowed to do it anymore tells you the tone of their concerns, irrespective of it being done off in tehy kitty litter or in the middle of the road. Thinking back did Alonso get a fine for collecting the Spanish flag a few years ago after winning in Spain?

I can understand there concerns. I mean hell if he were to fall off he'd be going straight under the rear wheels. The location was a piss poor place to do it and the penalty i think is fair. If they were to fine webber instead that wouldnt solve anything. I mean hell vettell recieved a $1000 fine (was it?) for 9km/h over in the pit lane. He earns that in minuites! How is that due punishment?

Thats like me recieving a speeding fine for $2.50 for 20km/h over out on the street. Shit idd speed around all the time! Ah its only $2.50. I'dd even pay in cash! :D

However that's not to say i didn't enjoy watching it happen!

The sports lost some of its original charm at least from the late 80's to early 90's. That happens of course and there's nothing we can do to change that. However as stated above im all down for f1 ring making on the pit straight! :D

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
