ROFL @ Kvyat on-board replay.

What the hell was he thinking

 

[Zeknurn]

Yeah that's a one race ban move. Go back to junior formulas if you want to drive like cunt.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

He has nothing to apologize for. This he was just racing, after all.

If this was Destruction Derby, I'd agree.

 

[dakun]

LOL.

Seeing the replay confirms my opinion. This is inexcusable behavior.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Haha stop go for hitting someone three times on purpose. Wow

 

[Jezbollah]

He should be banned for one race. Also fines.

Quality post. lol.

 

[Juicy Bob]

That was pretty woeful from Kvyat

 

[nny]

Kvyat decided by himself the penalty.

 

[djplaeskool]

Oh. Penalty?

Edit: 10s.

 

[Stop It]

My god. That 2nd hit. I usually think that sanctions upon drivers should be as light as possible but Kvyat should get a black flag for this. Blatant and avoidable in both cases. If Vettel was struggling then Kvyat should have known.

He got a 10 second penalty which nobody knew about? Sky didn't tell us.

 

[Dilly]

10s stop and go for rear ending someone twice.

Lord Putin pls

 

[ElTorro]

Kvyat has easily upstaged Maldonado.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Gutierrez took a penalty too ?

 

[Hasney]

Yeah, one race ban for Kvyat seems about right.

lol, Maldanado never had that many bans. If he does it more, sure, but gotta be consistent.

 

[Blastoise]

RAI is an embarrassment for Ferrari. Hopefully he wont be renewed for 2017.

 

[Camp1nCarl]

10s stop and go for rear ending someone twice.

why

He is probably lol'ing at that soft slap if that is all he receives for those hits on Vettel

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Daniil "causing those sweet sweet collisions" Kyvat

 

[Orbis]

I don't see how 10 second stop/go fits the infringement there but it's the biggest penalty they can give short of DQ.

 

[nature boy]

Kvyat opening the door for Wonderboy next season.

 

[bobnowhere]

Riccy has nothing on the whites.

 

[hamchan]

Are they afraid to punish Kvyat more in Russia?

 

[Dilly]

What the hell is up with the banshee sounding background noise everytime they cross the pit straight?

 

[SilentRob]

10s stop and go for rear ending someone twice.

Lord Putin pls

I mean, that's literally the harshest punishment you can give him during the race without just outright disqualifying someone, which would be pretty overboard. There's a 5 second penalty, drive-through and stop-and-go, from least harsh to harshest.

I realize some guys here are preeetty mad, but come on, please at least knwo the rules you are talking about.

 

[ramparter]

Kvyat new Maldonado confirmed?

That was kind worse, it was a reckless move like pastors but it didnt make any sense, was he sleeping?

 

[aspiegamer]

I don't see how 10 second stop/go fits the infringement there but it's the biggest penalty they can give short of DQ.

I think maybe that's the maximum in-race penalty that's available?

Yup.

Overboard?

If I would do this at an amateur indoor kart heat I'd get a damn black flag.

What more does a driver have to than shunt someone in the back twice in a 10 second period and ending his race for a DQ?

 

[Mohonky]

Lol

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Apart from the start, this race is quite predictable so far. Hamilton is going to overtake Bottas quite soon and unless we get another SC that's that.

 

[stryke]

Urgh mediums aren't really working for Ric.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Só, where is Ricciardo?

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

you don't upset the mother bear in its nest

 

[RoKKeR]

Bottas holding his own, but strategy... They have no chance. Maybe 3rd is possible.

 

[Mohonky]

Usualy problem, Merc doesnt do well stuck up under another gearbox and this running is just going to kill his tyres while Britney runs off.

For a DQ DURING the race? He'd probably have to get out a magnum and shoot the other driver. That's not how F1 works, you don't just DQ someone because someone caushed a crash. You take your time after the race, investigate the incident, talk with the driver, look at the telemitry and THEN you may DQ him after the fact or put him at the back of the field for the next race or something like that. You don't just go "Well, you're out" after watching the replay two times. That's not how this works.

Exactly. The 10 second stop and go just doesn't cut it. I'm not even for a 1 race ban, just take him out of this one.

 

[malyce]

It's fucking INFURIATING that a faster car/superior driver combo can't follow close enough to mount an attack. You also get punished for pushing too hard when following.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Hamilton in trouble?

 

[hamchan]

Só, where is Ricciardo?

At the back. Kvyat not only screwed up Vettel's race but also his teammate.

That makes no sense at all.

 

[spuckthew]

Hamilton in trouble?

I would presume he's given up for a moment to preserve tyres brakes, but we'll see.

 

[nature boy]

Is Britney still in the race? Haven't seen him yet.

 

[Hasney]

That makes no sense at all.

When was the last in-race DQ? Maybe they should have done 10 seconds for each crash, but a DQ would be over the top.

Is Britney still in the race? Haven't seen him yet.

He's a speck in the distance

 

[brotkasten]

And rightfully so. People could have defended him last week and still agree that he pulled a double Maldonado this week.

Vettel turned on Kvyat, saying in English: “If I don’t go left [at the start], you crash into us and we all three go out – you are like a torpedo.”

Turns out he was right.

Oh well, the next race is in two weeks in Spain. I'm sure Vettel will be able to compete in that one. Perhaps I shouldn't wear my black Ferrari funeral shirt

 

[Dilly]

Massa in Montreal 2007 for running a red pit light afaik.

 

[PdotMichael]

But shit like today happens if you support driving behaviour which is based on the move away or die concept.

Yep. The last time people have been disqualified from a F1 race due to a collision was 11 years ago....

 

[jey_16]

mercedes made the call to williams

 

[xenist]

Maybe this time people won't pull the "Vettel is overreacting" nonsense. Kvyatt shouldn't be racing of he wants to drive like that.

 

[hamchan]

Vettel calm during an interview.

Now we just need Kvyat to ask Vettel "What happened during that turn?" so we can see angry German Jesus.
