Bottom post of the previous page:

Honestly I really hope the Hamilton fans who have come into the sport in the last 5 years all fuck off when he leaves. They have zero understanding of F1, and you simply cannot have any kind of balanced conversation.

I.e. Schumacher is shit because in 3 years with Merc he didn't win a title. Lewis won it in his second season.

No understanding of the fact Brawn weren't developing the 2010 Merc, it was over a second off, and a good off-season would be gaining 0.2s on a competitor. No understanding of the hybrid engine and rule changes meaning a fresh start.

The problem is the rules themselves. Every penalty should be the same. 10 seconds stop and go each time. No fixing cars under red flag conditions. The end.
Couldn't agree more!

For the record, I don't blindly cheer for someone just because they are British/English. So far I've backed a Canadian, a couple of Germans and for a while a Spanish driver, never a British one oddly enough.

Case of RBR against the penalty ended in a no result. Penalty stays 10 seconds.

Good. Case closed and now further with the season:

Not surprised. I wonder why they did it. I don’t think it was a good PR move.

Agree.
Or I would be OK with you can fix the car as the others take the formation lap. This way a short fix ends up at the back and a long fix maybe a lap down.
The only exception is FIA sanctioned changing of tires for the whole field (like in case of dry tires and rain during red flag).
