Lol only Maldonado can get two penalties in one race

1994 British GP:

Hill and Schumacher stayed together, separated by two seconds until on lap 14, where Schumacher was given a five-second time penalty for passing Hill on the parade lap. However, the team refused to accept the decision and appealed the process. Schumacher was then give a 5 second stop go penalty for passing on the parade lap and for the team agruing the penalty. The team told him to ignore this as they were appealing the decision. Schumacher stayed out beyond the three laps required to adhere to the penalty, which was imposed. Schumacher was then shown the black flag meaning he was excluded from the race and from that point would have to return to the pits and retire. However Benetton continued to negotiate and appeal the decision. Schumacher did return to the pits on lap 26, but only for the 5 second stop-go penalty now served and re-joining the race in third behind Burger and Hill.

On lap 33, Berger went out with an engine failure. Hill won with Schumacher second, but Schumacher was disqualified for ignoring the black flag and was banned for two races. Thus meaning Schumacher was punished 4 times for one offence, which in the grand scheme of things could be considered harsh for such an insignificant offence. (A side point to this is that this regulation was banned for the following year and that Mika Häkkinen did the same thing without punishment.)

Ye...I was only joking...Now my joke is worthless

He's driving poorly, costing Willams loads of points, and crashes into other drivers quite a lot, surely he desrves criticism. The penalty for jumping the start seems fair, but I think they need to accumulate the punishments for causing an avoidable incident.

I don't thinks it's fair to say that his accidents in F1 haven't been as bad as Grosjean's, I think crashing when not racing is considerably worse.

Indeed, I think the difference between Grosjean and Maldonado really is the difference between a young driver making a few stupid mistakes and a driver that has no regard for the safety of others.

Sir Frank must be despairing. His cars are capable of many more points than they've collected so far in 2012.

They could have gotten a 747 off the tarmac with the amount of wings they've replaced on Maldonado's car.

I would just love to see a cost analysis of the amount of money Maldo brings in vs. the amount he's cost them in repairs, fines, and less winnings via the concorde ageement.

Probably a wash.
And if you factor lawyers' fees in case FW fires his arse and gets sued for damages, it'll be a negative proposition, so there - he'll stay until the bitter end.

Damn!

I'm afraid the win pays for quite a bit. The real shame is that in a season they finally win again, they won't really see it in the profit at the end of the year.

Anyone know how long his contract is with will.I.ams ?

[vlad]

As long as that sign there...

Just kidding, it's long as the Cocaine field, I guess.

Maldonado has done nothing worse than Lewis Hamilton did earlier in his career.
