2014 Belgian Grand Prix

Hamilton was trying to get back to the pits as quickly as he could, he lost 50 seconds as it was. Go much slower and lose more time. While he has done some damage to the car, as long as the damage isn't enough to compromise the car much he's saved himself time overall.
 
I wonder if Alonso's "less severe than expected penalty" is partly due to Race Control feeling they might have handled it better too?

And why why why is Kravitz not just told to email the commentary team, the man doesn't know when to shut up?

What happened to the one American guy? Who does Barrett Jackson. He was pretty good.
 
Not sure I remember him... sorry :)

Hamilton is second-fastest on track. If he catches Rosberg... hehehe :D

He must refer to Bob Varsha, who is under contract with FS1 hence he can't do much F1 anymore. Pretty sure though Sky has a different group of commentators.
Yes Bob Varsha! I see now. Thank you. I think he is miles Better than the new guy.

Ferrari clearly had Alonso up on the jacks, batteries hooked up to the car, and nobody touching it. I'm guessing that they argued Alonso's ERS hadn't been grounded properly, and that putting mechanics on the grid was the only way to make it safe - the longer they left it, the greater the charge that would build up.

It's the only thing that I can think of that might compel Ferrari to break the rule, and the only thing that would persuade the stewards to give a lesser penalty.

Possibly so, there was a lot of cabling involved in whatever was going wrong, or so it seemed.
