Because of the FIA's stupid rules? nice.
Bring back 1 lap qualifying.

Oh well, not like the people in front will cause much bother.

No doubt decided by Mad Max's tame poodle /FIA steward who is/was the Ferrari PR man......

To be fair I think he means that there's another thread that has 'Spoiler' in the title and is intended for Malaysian GP comment. ITV are re-running qualifying at 13:40, so some haven't seen it yet

I think everyone would want to see the fastest car / driver do their fastest lap in Q3.

Declaring the intended fuel load for the top-10 Q2 cars, prior to the start of Q3 seems a very obvious way to obviate this morning's fiasco. How only the two Malaren cars can be singled out for grief, is beyond belief.

Artificially deciding the grid after the event is really bad for the sport and fans.

Its is becoming clear that everyone in the F1 organisation has it in for Maclaren.
Its becoming predictable, biased and unfair.

Some teams seem to get away with murder while Rons boys only have to take to the track and evry single thing is scrutenised and the rules interpreted to suit a punishment.

Max and Berni need to go. NOW

Silver car, on, at or near a circuit: it's as good as a guilty plea in Numberr 1 court Old Bailey.

The McLaren's were no worse than Alonso's Renault. Where were they expected to go? On the grass? They were kerb hugging. Given the punishment you'd think they were running with illegal floors.

I think if it were any other team nothing would have happened. I couldn't even see anything wrong with Hamilton's "incident", Heidfeld cutting back across the track made it look worse than it actually was.

It's the rulebook which has created this situation, not the McLaren drivers. The cynical side of me can't help but wonder if a red car had been in the same position, would there have been the same penalty?

what a sack of poo, the two red cars were on the line as well further on through the lap so how did they not get punished ffs.

getting to the point where i might not watch f1 cos of the st the FerrarIA are throwing mcmercs way, and as for the spantard complaining that he got held up, maybe if he remembered how to do drive and not moan he would have been quicker of his own accord!!

tt Blundell just said that the merc were "on the racing line"

Well what did he expect?

They were on the outside on the approach to a bend.
If they were on the other side of the track they would have been on the apex of the bendbanghead

The only way to not at some point to have not been in the way would have been to moved across the track fron the inside tothe aoutside on the approach to the bend.

And that is just fking dangerous.

These new rules are crap
The bias in favour of Red acrs is just getting beyond funny.
Having to use both types of tyre is both stupid and dangerous. At some point in the race every driver has to race on an unsuitable tyre. Utter madness.

As someone already said I am so pissed off with F1 that I moght go out in the car tomorrow and not watch.
