It's just like in hockey, it seems like the player who retaliates always gets the penalty! I always remember those nasty Russians getting away with their spear checks and the Canadians in the box after setting them straight with a well aimed fist.
The reason given for no Hamilton penalty from the FIA is that they couldn't find any evidence of a brake test. I guess they didn't look to hard as it took me 5 mins of reading about the race to come across that picture!
I guess it is true what they say that FIA stands for 'Mercedes International Assistance'.
Bring it, your tears sustain me.
Sorry, couldn't resist, but it was meant in the nicest possible way.
Overboost, I actually saw that after I had posted so I'll stop trying to be nice about this. Wonder why no reprimand for Hamilton then? The evidence is as clear as day.
I can well imagine the rhetoric of where you are referring to if I am thinking correctly. But it's just how it goes. Some people cannot accept that their idol is human and as such makes incorrect/dishonest/downright bewildering decisions. Neither behaved in a manner befitting that of a multiple WDC but it goes with the territory.
And it turns out Vettel has been given 3 points on his license. Another 3 and he gets a race ban. At this stage, I would put money on Vettel being given another 3 points for the slightest thing.....
So, to recap, a driver brakes tests another driver, the victim of the brake test pulls along side accidently nudging the other driver whilst travelling at 32mph and gets a 10 second stop/go which cost him a race win and 3 points on his licence which could potentially cost him the WDC. Yet a driver holding onto a loose part of his car whilst going at full racing speed on a street track with no run off areas and driving one handed is deemed ok? I don't condone either's behaviour but the stewarding decisions are just totally inconsistent.
