wtf with the Mclaren this year. I wish Mclaren was as reliable as Alonso ferrari.

The problem is that they have different stewards every race.

I know. It's ridiculous. There needs to be consistency.

At least the stewards for each race are consistent during each race. But I agree. There needs to be more consistency. I think the call was correct this time but three races ago that may have been let go.
 
In other words, let Alonso pass
 
Fuel pick up problem for button? Let me guess, they forgot to fill the tank. /joke/

But what about precedent? At least two similar incidents here in the last five years have gone unpunished. Have the stewards got short memories too?
 
"Felipe, preserve your tyres, Fernando is behind you"

What could this possibly mean?

No, but the rules have changed, so why should there be consistency?

Don't even know why they bother. We all know what it means. Just be honest about it.
 
I think Vettel is gonna cry this evening! "it's nicht fairrr"
 
Team orders are legal anyway.

I think what we saw last week really opened their eyes. We haven't seen a crash like that in quite some time. And now they're being very strict because of it.

Will need to look at it again, but I'm not so sure he broke the rules either. Did Vettel force him off the track or did Alonso go for a gap that wasn't there?

See above.

I am aware of that.
 
Perez has got a great chance here of a podium.

To me, Alonso had such a huge speed differential it was either that gap or run into the back of Vettel. Vettel then ran right to the edge of the track, which you cannot do - you have to leave one car's width. 60/40, Vettels fault.
 
Keep it civil now or people's inboxes will start filling up...

Yes, I deleted posts.

It was in agreement. As you mentioned, if it is legal to do it, why not just say it? Mind boggles.
 
Perez doing an awesome job. What a driver.
 
Hope Massa retakes that position from Perez, really want a podium for him.
 
Come on Perez. Beat Alonso. Pleeeease.
 
If Hamilton doesn't get his boot down, Perez could sneak this.
