I don’t think that is cut & dried at all.

I’m not blaming him, it’s cut and dried that Vettel caused that collision. Stroll is adjusting his line in a bid to avoid Seb AND stay on track (he should be entitled to, as it wasn’t his fault that the situation was happening).

Gasly bailed straight off track to miss Stroll.

That’s the fundamental issue, the penalty becomes dependant on the innocent driver’s actions.

Is my view anyway.

Feel a bit sorry for Vettel and Stroll, they wouldn't have been able to see the traffic approaching when re-joining so not too much they could do. Admittedly Vettel shouldn't have spun in the first instance though.

Maybe then they should have waited until their pit wall gave the all clear?

[dunc_sx]

Yeah that's probably the only safe option.

Why were the engineers not on the radio telling them to hold then when it was clear to go? They have driver trackers after all.

They could also display the driver tracker info in each cockpit, or at least a subset of it ( a few cars back and a few forward), without much effort.

No! F1 is not a contact sport.

Instead of twting about with Liberty Media to spice up the racing by legitimising fender-bashing with 'yellow cards', etc, the FIA should be working its nuts off to prevent another Hubert-type death: F1, F2 and F3 all urgently need new regs to improve side-impact protection.

The cars need bombproof full-length sidepods not rules that allow the drivers to adopt professional-foul tactics to win a race (or championship)

I think you need to keep some perspective on this
