i think he did deserve the drive through, as it was unsafe, i mean yeah nothing happened but last year or year before there was the wheel that went strolling down pit lane and smashed the camera man...

No-one is disagreeing with him getting a drive-through penalty. It just doesn't seem fair that he should be punished twice for it.

Edit: Disregard that. I didn't see your earlier post.

I wish the whole race had the same intensity of the first few laps. When the field is condensed and on cold tires its edge of your seat stuff. You forget for a brief moment that there is a complete lack of noise and just get enthralled in the racing.

He got a 10 second stop-go from what I remember, and he may have retired before serving it (not sure on this) - which would explain the grid penalty if he did.

Although reading it, it does look like they are giving him both the stop-go and the grid penalty. Guess they are making an example of it or something.

yeah i just read on f1.com that its new for 2014, if you're deemed to have an unsafe release you'll receive a 10sec stop go AND then also a 10 place grid penalty. I think he did serve the stop go also before he retired.

and yeah love the starts to the races but sorta falls off in the middle and then the end can be a bit better... needs safety car....

I don't understand why he got this, Wasn't it webbers car last year when the tyre hit the camera man. As much as I love webber, why did he not get a 10 spot penalty but ricciardo does?

Plus look at all the Hamilton pit stop screw ups the last two years with unsafe releases.... why is this so different?

Put like that ^ it does seem a bit strange that they now do the 5 second stop-go penalty where teams can pit, do the 5 seconds, then work on the car (therefore not as harsh/race ruining penalty), but then they seem to have made the unsafe release twice as harsh

I guess there is more people in the pit-lane that can get hurt, but I dunno, still seems harsh to me. Unless it is one or the other and because Dan didnt serve his 10 second penalty he gets the grid penalty for next race

It's a bloody stupid rule to be honest. How is it the drivers fault? Personally i believe the team should recieve the penalty, be it a fine or constructors points. It's abit rediculus that the driver should be penalised when its something they have zero control over.

God so sick of watching F1 on OneHD. Has anyone found a way to watch via Sky F1 directly? I've been considering Sky f1 Control via VPN/DNS via a UK proxy but to be honest it's still rediculusly expensive. Also abit of a risk, if its even possible as its 12months at a minimum term. All i really want is unhindered FULL coverage i'm more then happy to pay $30>40 a month for it for gods sake.

merc looking VERY good for both championships now

what a points head start

the fact Lewis smoked everyone and STILL had used less fuel than anyone else in the top 10 by a few laps from the end shows how well sorted the Merc is

the driver is considered part of the team

no team orders means has its justifiable knock on effects now

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
