Vettel suffered major damage and fell through the pack, so he got the time penalty and the penalty of consequences. Raikkonen didn't.

So a penalty depends on how much damage you caused? Sounds very random and not according the rule book. Consistency and justice for all?


Edit: aaah feel sorry for Charles....

 

[Dennisch]

Leclerc with a probably too fast pitstop.

Or not? Ferrari engine?

 

[Mulan]

Nooooo Leclerk

 

[DesertPenguin]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Dennisch]

It's turning into quite a turd of a race.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Hamilton pits.

 

[FutureF1]

Up to Bottas to make this race interesting. No excitement in watching Hamilton as he hasn’t done a legitimate overtake (no one is in the league of the Mercedes) and the FIA screwed Raikkonen royally

So a penalty depends on how much damage you caused?

Possibly. There's no point punishing someone who punished themselves already, except that they need punishing for the effect they had on the other person's race. Vettel and Bottas both tumbled down the order at Paul Ricard, so part of Vettel's penalty was the damage he'd caused to himself, whereas only Hamilton has tumbled down the order at Silverstone, so no part of Raikkonen's penalty is damage he's caused to himself.

And Raikkonen screwed Hamilton royally, so all’s fair and everything is fine.

 

[PaMu1337]

Interesting strategy for Ricciardo.

 

[PaMu1337]

Ericsson hard crash!
Safety car

 

[Mulan]

Safety?? Medical car must go out.

 

[Grayfox]

Erricson crashed.

 

[McKiernan]

Safety Car

 

[AshenGraey]

and that's the crash that changes things....Hope Ericsson is OK

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Big crash!

Vettel in pits!

 

[jake2013guy]

That's a big one. I think it's DRS related.

 

[Dennisch]

This is what was needed!

 

[Mulan]

Mercedes dont pit Bottas????

 

[jake2013guy]

Mercedes. What are you doing!? Did you not watch China?

 

[Mulan]

Hamilton with mediums hard used and those behind with fresh softs..again wrong strategy from Merc???

 

[AshenGraey]

Neither Merc pits...are they really that good on the tires there? That's a bold move

 

[Grayfox]

This is what was needed!

Erricson crashing into a tirewall is what was needed .

Hahahahaha.

I know what you mean.

 

[jake2013guy]

I'll say the podium will be:
Vettel
Verstappen
Raikkonen

 

[PaMu1337]

Vettel saying the safety car should slow down

 

[FutureF1]

And Raikkonen screwed Hamilton royally, so all’s fair and everything is fine.

Lol it’s his home GP so I guess I’ll excuse dumb comments like that

 

[Grayfox]

Eh?

Vettel wants the safety car to slow down?
Normally he is complaining that it is going to slow

 

[PaMu1337]

Epic overtake!
Sainz crashes with Grosjean!

 

[McKiernan]

That was excellent by Max

 

[Grayfox]

Carlos has gone off

Edit: Safety Car Take 2
