Vettel heeft coureursgilde aan zijn zijde: ‘Pure bullshit’

En weer kon de wedstrijdleiding geen goed doen: niet bij de fans en niet bij de (oud) coureurs. De tijdstraf die Sebastian Vettel kreeg voor zijn slippertje haalde de angel uit de wedstrijd. Lewis Hamilton hoefde alleen maar bij te blijven om de overwinning binnen te halen. Het leidde tot boze reacties van raceprominenten. 

Any of the stewards ever raced at the front in F1? Didn’t watch the race.. have now seen the “incident”.
Mental penalty. 🥴🧐

Thanks for all your votes. My personal view is that he could have left more room, but we lost a great final few laps because of the penalty. There was enough doubt to let them carry on. Remember Dijon! #f1 #Dijon

my observation on Vettel rejoining: his helmet moved to look into mirror only after steering correction! that he slid that far is laws of physics. No space for Lewis is name of game with street tracks. What happened to #LetThemRace ? Was it sketchy? yes! a penalty? not in my view

Terrible just terrible decision by the F1 Stewards. Just loved Seb swapping place boards around 👌🏻👌🏻

I think the function of the stewards is to penalize flagrantly unsafe moves not honest mistakes as result of hard racing. What happened at #CanadaGp is not acceptable at this level of our great sport. @F1

Not really sure what VET could have done differently when rejoining….with the momentum he had he was always going to end up where he did….tough decision for VET. https://t.co/PVAFnPFdFm
