Slowing down to a crawl while zigzagging around to warm up tires in a straight while the Hulk was trying to, you know, race and stuff right behind him.

This is just a dull race. Like this is really dull.

Oh man if Ferrari gets a win at Monza. I would love it.

I think the biggest time penalty they can impose is 25 seconds, Hamilton's gap to Vettel at the final classification was 25.042 seconds.

Well this race wsa dull. I love Monza, but it doesn't suit the uber grip of these cars. I don't remember one overtake that wasn't at turn 1 or Ascari.

Fetzie wrote:Yeah, but then they might as well pull everybody in that did a 1-stop race, because tyre pressures will naturally drop the longer your stint is.

Enforcer wrote:So, they're looking at a time penalty for Lewis - the biggest of which would still leave him in the lead. Thus making the penalty a waste of paperwork.
Maybe I'm being silly here, but if the tire pressure rule is there, and Lewis breached it, and it's deemed to be advantageous and therefore worthy of penalty, shouldn't it penalised in a way that would actually impact the result? Same would go for Ferrari if they've done it too, btw?
I think penalties in F1 require a review. The fact that a team can realise they're in for a penalty and say "oh feck, push push push so we're out of penalty range" seems ridiculous to me.

Enforcer wrote:Technical delegates report says the Ferrari & Mercedes' left rear tires were measured before the race.
Ferrari were above Pirelli's specified minimum for a starting race pressure. Lewis was 0.3 PSI below, Rosberg 1.1 PSI below.
If this is what the problem is, why does it take them until only 4 laps from the end to start thinking about doing something about it?

I do wonder if it was because Rosberg had been running his engine especially hard in the opening laps in an attempt to pass Bottas - he mentioned using the overtake function on the engine - which just tipped his engine over the edge.Fetzie wrote:Enforcer wrote:Were they expecting a time penalty for Lewis or something?

Kravitz is suggesting that Ferrari might also be called to the stewards over their tyre pressures as well - so now we suddenly have a very interesting situation.
