The VSC lasted seconds, before an actual safety car period started, thus nullifying any possible advantage that Hamilton could have gained.
Vettel is in the heat of the moment during a race, he can say what he wants. It was FOM's decision, however, to broadcast what he said.
Drivers used to intentionally in radio transmissions so they wouldn't be broadcast, before FOM started playing censored versions.
The more I see of this scene, the more I'm convinced Vettel thought he was gonna crash into Verstappen's rear if he doesn't change direction.

The VSC still meant no overtaking, so it was easy for Hamilton to slow down a little to give back the advantage he gained in corner 1.
Btw, new interview insights:
RIC claiming Hamilton should have been punished for leaving the track in corner 1.
And VES also saying ROS is responsible for the crash in corner 1, because he left the track and he then (!) ran into him. He basically said "Nico left the track, too [like Hamilton]. Our cars touched each other and he gained himself an advantage." Too much Red Bull?
Oh maybe he did. My stream must have frozen for a second.

They don't have to broadcast it, that's on them.
FOM decides that not FIA.
Lmao. More records!

He didn't even change the direction in the zone but just took an alternative line. There was no suddenly change of direction nor Ric was forced to make evasive maneuvers like how it is stated in the rules. People are simplifying the rule too much.

Telling officials to fuck themselves would get you tossed or penalized in plenty of other heat of the moment sports.
|OT2| BOOP off. Honestly. BOOP off.

F1 drivers curse all the time. Maybe some emotions get hurt, but usually no one gets killed.

Not when you say it to your team. Again, it was FOM's decision to broadcast that comment.
FOM is not FIA. Its like Skysports football showing a footballer player calling a official a asshole or something.

Apparently Vettel already apologized in person by Charlie. Both have a good relationship, btw.

There was plenty of room before the grass. He locked the brakes, saw he wasn't going to make the corner and gunned it. He could easily have stopped before the grass.
Nope, because it was on the world feed it's like the Premier League showing a player cursing an official.

Great idea with 21 other cars steaming into the corner... Ffs

I guess that's the thing about being an adult... sometimes in the heat of the moment you're a cunt to people then sort it out when things are a bit more calm.
Seems no-one here has ever been guilty of that one though.

Vettel with his 'honestly' all the time... tears in my eyes.

I am so dizzy because of the spin.

Adults argue, then swear then apologise and make up, Vettel had done this admitting he was wrong, Max on the other hand, wears all his mistakes as a badge of honour saying he was right and fuck the whiners... Who is acting like an adult?

Where exactly did I say he should do it?

Don't suggest a stupid idea if you don't want to get called on it.
That is just extra weight the engineers can't freely distribute.
I think Vettel is late for school so he's running with toast hanging from his mouth.
This was about Vettel, not Max, but OK, max also admitted a mistake last week?
Adults argue, Vettel was not arguing.
That extra space in the nose tip of the Ferrari isn't there for aerodynamic reasons.
Vettel should have a massive golden belt buckle with "Honestly" written on it.
frontieruk

Actually he was arguing his point that max should of given the place up after running the track and then was backing him up to RIC, calling out race direction for not doing something then arguing with his crew his point was valid while calling out race direction is still an argument.

It would have been fun to see prime Senna or Schumacher in the social media era.
Yes maybe that's right, but c'mon, that's not arguing like an adult. Let's put it that way

No, Schumacher has no right to be an asshole, but he has a legacy that Max obviously doesn't. You compare Vettel to him, you compare Lewis to him, heck you'd even compare Kimi to him. Max still hasn't done anything besides being dickish.

How many times have you sworn at someone when you're driving along and they do something stupid? Now magnify that as these guys pretty much are on the edge and Vettel can see a podium position which has been out of his reach for a while now. Maybe not adult behaviour but definitely human behaviour.
I agree with you, but glad you agree you can't label it as adult behaviour aswell. You know everybody is listening.
I think it's human behaviour, but I would still punish him for it. Or at least give him a warning. I won't punish him game related, but some kind of community thing or a fine. Dunno.
Vettel told the guy who decides over his fate to fuck off, it's not like he had any option other than kissing his ring. A child will apologize under certain circumstances, the circumstances Vettel brought himself in gave him no other option. Anyway, basing someone's adulthood on the ability to apologize is arbitrary and stupid.

He's probably been given a reprimand, you see that sort of think on the football pitches here, someone swears at the ref as they don't agree with his decision, the ref gives a warning you do that again you're getting booked.
I'm fairly certain Charlie's had worse, it's just never been broadcast before.
Actually it's a sign of maturity admitting you fucked up. Rather than double down and keep saying fuck you, which is something Max and Kvyat have done this season.

Verstappen also received a penalty point on his license for cutting off the track to gain an advantage.
Ridiculous, honestly.
Ridiculous, honestly.
