No penalty for RBR, as usual.

 

[Wes]

So the regulation text is shit? What the fuck lol

 

[Nolan.]

Haha well I was wrong but even so the decision makes absolutely no sense, if they disagree with the explanation then how can they not penalise?

 

[Dilly]

That doesn't make any sense.

 

[jey_16]

How can they breach the rules and not be penalised? Very odd.....

 

[brotkasten]

That doesn't make any sense.

You think it's okay to start our own conspiracy theories about the relationship between RBR and the FIA?

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Redbull let off the hook again?

The stewards and the FIA are total jokers.

 

[Leonsito]

No penalty, good. The witch-hunt against RBR this year is awful.

 

[Dilly]

The drama if it would've been Ferrari.

No.

 

[Leonsito]

Nah, the drama when Ferrari cheated came basically from the Alonso camp, now that he's with them, Ferrari is the cleanest of the F1 teams.

 

[Omiee]

Hamilton is posting some good pics on twitter today

Nice picture.

Glad RBR did not get a penalty.

 

[Psychotext]

I wonder if we'll get an explanation. Red Bull have obviously said why they did it / why it happened... I wonder how that explanation ended up being good enough to avoid getting penalised.

 

[Nolan.]

No penalty, good. The witch-hunt against RBR this year is awful.

Hardly a witch hunt when you break the rules and get away with it

 

[jey_16]

Apparently the rules are not clear enough which meant RBR could get away with it

 

[Dilly]

The drama in the fanbase, not in the paddock.

 

[Omiee]

#F1 The stewards accepted that in effect the rule was not precise enough, so it's a bit embarrassing for the FIA

Man i love horner and newey.

 

[Sloane]

Jo Bauer obviously doesn't know the rules as good as Red Bull.

 

[Leonsito]

But they didn't break the rules, read the letter "In my opinion..." and that was from one person.

 

[Dilly]

Jo Brauer obviously doesn't know the rules as good as Red Bull.

Newey's paycheck is probably much larger than of Brauer.

 

[brotkasten]

I don't get why they always pick Massa for the track walk.

The drama if it would've been Ferrari.

Remember when Alonso single-handedly red flagged the Silverstone qualifying? Dat FIA-button on the wheel.

 

[Omiee]

Jo Brauer obviously doesn't know the rules as good as Red Bull.

Its 1 person, they are all entitled to their opinions like he stated in the letter.

Is it really smart to let massa do a track guide?

 

[Diablohead]

No penalty, really? Lol

 

[Leonsito]

The drama in the fanbase, not in the paddock.

Every team in the paddock is full of shit, McLaren, RBR, Renault and Ferrari have a fantastic history with cheating, and know what happens with those "regulations breachs".

Problem is the fanboys that always think they shit doesn't smell.

 

[Sloane]

But they didn't break the rules, read the letter "In my opinion..." and that was from one person.

The one person being the person in charge of controlling this shit.

 

[Nolan.]

I like Massa's track walks he's so likeable, i'll miss him when he's gone

 

[Omiee]

Hamilton no doubt will have a good start, button will lose some places. Vettel should be able to keep his 2nd position and maybe overtake alonso but i doubt it. Webber should maintain his grid position and possibly have a nice battle with button for track position.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

FIA stewards do not agree with Red Bull arguments re. engine map but say they've not broken rule as it is written.

Jokers.

 

[Adamm]

Alonso & vettel to crash at first corner then Schumacher to go on to win!

You just jinxed them man

 

[Omiee]

You just jinxed them man

Alonso will win the race.



Im amazed how Hamilton does not have 2 or 3 championships under his belt and more race wins. He has been in a top team from the start of his career and he is an ace driver.

 

[DrM]

That would be so awesome

Didn't other drivers also complain?

 

[Dilly]

Didn't other drivers also complain?

He was being sarcastic.

 

[brotkasten]

Jokers.

Jokers? "I don't agree with your interpretation of my rules, but you're still good to go." No way.

 

[DrM]

Have to admit, RBR are masters of fiding loopholes in the rules...

 

[mrklaw]

How can they have no penalty, doesn't that mean they can race with that map? Either everyone will start doing it, or they ban it.

 

[pants]

lmao

 

[Nolan.]

Alonso will win the race.

One thing that is almost certain though even if we say it or not is Maldonado will do something silly

 

[Nolan.]

More like Newey is master, it will be interesting to see how they go when he leaves

 

[Omiee]

How can they have no penalty, doesn't that mean they can race with that map? Either everyone will start doing it, or they ban it.

The ruling was clear. RBR were not in breach of the regulations so no action taken and they get to keep using what ever they are using.

Really?

 

[Joni]

Remember when Alonso single-handedly red flagged the Silverstone qualifying? Dat FIA-button on the wheel.

Remember when Hamilton said the same thing two minutes later, and half a minute before they red-flagged.

 

[Omiee]

Really?

Yeah sure he has had some bad luck and made some mistakes with crashing into people etc. But the guy is one of the best overtakes on the grid if not the best. Been in a top team since the start off his career. I really think a guy like him should have had 30 35 wins easily and 2 or 3 championships under his belt.

 

[brotkasten]

Vettel playing basketball. This is what I always wanted to see. Thank you Sky.

Really?

He also loves Button and Webber. Sometimes it's just not that clear, you know.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Wasn't it earlier this season when rbr were found to have an illegal hole, but it was only banned after the race, and now it seems like it's happening again. I won't be surprised if it's banned for the next race, ridiculous.

It's so awkward

Yeah they'll likely post a clarification to teams after

 

[jey_16]

Even as a Ferrari fan.....that would be amazing

 

[Igo]

At least the FIA no longer make up the rules, when needed, at Ferrari's behest. Those were frustrating times.

It wont be banned because they said nothing they did was against the regulations. So they found a loophole. Unless they re wright the rule.

Shame on you for saying something so unreal about Ferrari. FIA never favored Ferrari.

 

[brotkasten]

It's so awkward

At least they have good questions for that interview.

"How much does winning your home grand prix mean to you?"
