- Overtook Lewis around the outside and off the track at restart 1 -> Penalty 1 (3rd grid position at restart 2)
- Forced Lewis off the track in lap 37 during fight for position -> Penalty 2 (cede position to Hamilton - a team's choice)
- Didn't actually let Lewis pass after the lap 37 incident -> Penalty 3 (5 s. time penalty)
- Braking erratically (2,4 g deceleration) when trying to let Ham pass -> Penalty 4 (10 s. time penalty, established after the race)
Max' overtake at the 2nd restart was brilliant but facts are just facts. |
Ham could easily have speeded up with his rocket PU but no he wants to preserve his tyres and hangs around Max so...does he think Max will stay in his place like Hams nagged teammate on the verge of breakdown?, it's
racing 100% and Masi with the stewards are interfering like F* nannies.
