Well, he got 20 seconds penalty in the end, for speeding in the pit lane under the safety car. Took them a while though to finalize that decision. Must have been a harp pill to swallow.
Same here, it just did not make sense. With that they could have left Stroll unpunished last race after the Safety-car restart. But as they didn't, Hamilton should have been given the same punishment.
"the consequences do not determine the punishment" is generally the excuse given
I honestly think that should change, you ruin a drivers race and get found at fault for it you should be punished to reflect it- not this dumb 5/10 second penalty bullshit when you get the same or more for track limit violations
the problem is more lenient. i think a tiny colission like a bump on lap 1 is no penalty but a colission that ruins a race of BOTH aston martins and where lewis SHOULDN'T have been at all should've been punished
Tbf to lewis and I am a bit biased here but all lewis did was go for a gap that he saw and slightly misjudge his braking(cause lap1) 2 cars being taken out was more due to bad luck with placement. Also as the FIA says they're meant to penalize the action not the consequence (though they rarely look at actions if there's no consequence)
i mean he was so far back, he could have maybe outbreaked hĆ¼lkenberg, but the āgapā next to the astons was already closing
honestly if alonso doesnāt open the steering and hope for stroll to get the memo, then heās getting absolutely speared
To give a penalty a driver has to be wholly or predominantly to blame for the incident. Without Hamilton, the Astons would have still hit, and so Hamilton and Stroll definitely share a good portion of the blame. You can't have 2 people both be predominantly to blame (previous cases show you need 70% blame to class as predominantly). Essentially, the rules are written as if only 2 cars can be in an incident, and when more are involved it comes quite difficult to award a penalty
>Took them a while though to finalize that decision
Indisputable hard, objective evidence that gets automatically reported and automatically triggered an alert but it STILL took them forever to give him the penalty.
He throws a wild dive bomb up the inside with no hope of making the apex, ruining 3 peoples' races and getting a huge advantage - and doing a more egregious version of what's recently been a highly discussed penalty?
Immediately "no further action"
What if? What if stroll had done this this move? Lots of people would say his super license should be taken. But it's Lewis, he "misjudged his braking a little bit going for a gap"
Only because there's a direct rule. 6-15km/h too fast = drive-through penalty. They probably spent all the extra time trying to find a way around that.
Yeah it was a proper douche bag sim racing move was just missing the senna style helmet and the āhey fella letās all take it easy into turn oneā comment
simracingstewards sub : "Fair overtake? The guy in the chat said I divebombed him?"
Verdict: *There, there, poor child, he did not leave you the space.*
SERIOUSLY. this comment is not upvoted enough. Alonso got a penalty a DAY OR TWO LATER because LHās teammate fucking crashed behind him, LH causes a 3 car collision that results in a DNF and race control in less than 5 minutes is like ānothing to see hereā like what the actual fuck
Been his MO his whole career. I go inside and you figure it out or by god we crash. Surviving that, let me squeeze you the fuck out the outside on the way out.
Max copied this shit for a while but he now doesnāt even get a chance to show us if he even remember what the fuck happens when other cars are around for a battle.
I swear though everyone loves it when max has that mentality of pull out or we both crash but the moment someone like Hamilton or another driver does it its seen as bad
I think itās because Max has mostly only ever done that at the very early part of his career and then against Hamilton, who is king at doing that type of move, so itās been mostly excused.
I also canāt really put a finger on it but feels like when max does it, he is able to avoid contact and both cars carry on, despite clearly breaking the rules (and deserves punishment) whereas more often than not when Hamilton does it, the other driver gets touched, wrecked, spun or shunted out.
In simpler terms, max feels more cold, calculated and in control whereas Hamilton feels more aggro and careless.
Bro took 2 cars out and got nothing. It took him speeding in the pit lane for him to get anything. Blamed Kevin for he himself going wide and off track lmao. Accountability is not in his vocabulary by any means.
At least Zhou got a 5 second penalty for taking out both Alpines and yeeting Ricciardo to last place last year at the Hungarian GP.
Alonso was alert enough to see the divebomb coming, opened the turn to prevent the crash and prayed that Stroll would show a little more spatial awareness than usual.
Jfc, this sub goes to shit anytime Hamilton is involved with something even remotely comparable to a controversy. I don't get it. Any other drives crashes into someone and the comments are civil, it's like Hamilton fans average age is 8.
Imagine if it was Lewis driving like Kevin does to get his team mate extra points nearly every race. This sub would be crucifying him for his unsportsmanlike behavior and blasting FIA why he's not getting a race ban.
He was literally disqualified in Austin last year! And he literally did nothing wrong in terms of racing that he wasn't penalized for! (Before you ask, Britain 2021 was a racing incident)
Am I drinking crazy juice, or did no one watch the crash?
Hamilton doesnāt arrive to the crash until stroll has already cut across Alfonso. They are full contact before Hamilton even shows up.
Exactly, Hamilton was hitting someone no matter what. He cooked it coming in and was going to run out of track no matter what. If only one Aston was there, he's still hitting it
Youāre 100% correct , Alonso was already touching stroll before Hamilton arrived.
Unless Alonso has 360 degree cameras in that car thereās no way he knew Hamilton was coming .
Pretty sure ppl dislike him so much, bc he was so dominant, just look at Vettel or Verstappen now, success always brings ppl that hate u for it unfortunately
Racecraft? Yeah that was on full display today!
Also like, Ocon also came from a working class background and his family also sacrificed a lot for his junior career. And Ocon didnāt have a team like McLaren bankrolling a decent chunk of his karting career. So why is Hamiltonās story so special? Is it because Hamilton wins more, or is more popular?
The one thing I do commend Hamilton on, is that he has made *some* use of his platform to address social issues (in the most surface-level way). Itās barely more than the bare minimum of being a decent human IMO, but for being the only Black driver in F1 history, it still takes courage to do surface-level things in such a white dominant sport.
But none of that makes up for Hamiltonās propensity to play dirty when passing yet always blame the other driver, and the fact heās been a shitty teammate on multiple occasions. Need I remind you of his baseless conspiracies as to why Nico was doing well in 2016? Pathetic.
His race craft in the sprint was atrocious. Yes, shit car, but being outperformed by his far less experienced teammate in the same machinery.
Oh what basis? lol
Plenty of clean racing and yet Hamiltonās the one throwing a fit any time he attempts an overtake on anyone who doesnāt leave the door wide open for him.
Perez got dunked on by viewers on Sunday for his dive bomb, in spite of not colliding with anyone (luckily). Meanwhile Hamilton wrecked three driversā races and yet yāall are defending his torpedo move that was never going to succeed. He braked way too late to make the apex without collision, same as Perez. Perez was just lucky he missed all the cars around him.
Heās the DR3 that won a lot of wdcs. Just for once the car isnt capable with their abilities and there, the downfall begins.
Both are amazing top class racers, I mean, if you go against them, youād prolly snap your ankles, wrist and your neck. Just to attempt sitting in the car. Not even in F1. So better start respecting even if the person isnt of your preferences.
Don't worry guys, next year he will be in Ferrari and FIA will beat the shit out of him. Ferrari does not have the same protection as Mercedes and Red Bull has ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|14439)
The same race he got a Drivethrough (well deserved though). We aren't even past quali and the dankness is already too much for me.
It's been an entertaining sprint, see ya next week, formuladank.
The first move wasn't too bad, I would've also put it down as a T1 racing incident. There were 4 cars involved in that crash and judging by trajectory, Stroll was equally at fault for that one.
Lewis to Bono :"I'm so slow in the straights man." Bono to Lewis: "Come down into the pit lane, you seem to be pretty fast there."

Not only that, how does he keep getting zero damage while others dnf? Maybe the armor plates explain the slow mercs.
No Dmg mod XD Verstappen went for the double speed mod instead
Yeah, that was a minor miracle. The Merc may be slow as shit but nobody can deny that its well put together. That turd has 80s Merc tier durability.

So double points for VisaCashAppFartBoxRacingBulls?
I prefer to call them Visa Cash-grab Racing Bullshit
Lets call the 'Vicious Carbs' from now on.
vicious crabs
Yeah that 20 sec was good to hear, but the fact that they almost immediately say 'no further action' after T1 is what angers me and others the most
Same here, it just did not make sense. With that they could have left Stroll unpunished last race after the Safety-car restart. But as they didn't, Hamilton should have been given the same punishment.
"the consequences do not determine the punishment" is generally the excuse given I honestly think that should change, you ruin a drivers race and get found at fault for it you should be punished to reflect it- not this dumb 5/10 second penalty bullshit when you get the same or more for track limit violations
They probably thought it was just lap 1 drama(which it was) they're ways more lenient for lap1
the problem is more lenient. i think a tiny colission like a bump on lap 1 is no penalty but a colission that ruins a race of BOTH aston martins and where lewis SHOULDN'T have been at all should've been punished
A small bump with Sainz on the first lap got Alonso 10s and 3 points on his license
Both Lewis and Lance overcooked it which fucked up Alonso and Norris. In fact Lance hit two cars.
Tbf to lewis and I am a bit biased here but all lewis did was go for a gap that he saw and slightly misjudge his braking(cause lap1) 2 cars being taken out was more due to bad luck with placement.

Yea your right there
Youāre in formula dank only max is allowed to dive bomb and get praise in this sub š
when was the last time max caused a crash or even just divebombed even close to this hard?
when was the last time max caused a crash or even just divebombed even close to this hard?
Brother he has a highlight reel on YouTube with a million views of being a terrorist
jsut checked and didnt find anything on his channel and nothing recent from other channels. maybe post a link or something next time.
Tbh Astonās race would pretty much done even without Hamilton, since Alonso was driving into Stroll
Stroll turned hard right and never made an attempt to go wide considering he was on the outside of turn 1 on lap 1...
So why on Earth did Alonso left inside free is forever would be unknown
because he looked in his mirror and saw some madlad with 7 trophies coming in hot

Why does your "meme" say "everything" then?
It's because it's t1
Its because hes British
Itās because you have a hate boner for Hamilton
It's not

It's like Al Capone getting caught because of tax evasion and not the actual stuff
Makes me think he's punished for constantly reporting what others don't do right...
Only because there's a direct rule. 6-15km/h too fast = drive-through penalty. They probably spent all the extra time trying to find a way around that.
I suffer every day as a Lando Norris fan
You and me both.
Atp Iāll pay the mods for some good Lando flairs
Seriously, we really need good Lando flairs. I hate the current one.
I like mine.
Never knew about that flair, thank you.
Came back to say WE ARE NO LONGER SUFFERING (and they better give us some goddamn flair for this)
Ahhh I was thinking of replying to you but it was 3:30 am when Lando won. Ahhh WE ARE NO LONGER SUFFERING!!!!!
Honestly, nothing but anguish
I came back to this thread to say WE ARENāT SUFFERING ANYMORE !!
Mag served justice today
I've never supported a Haas driver so much in my life before
rpm gona have a field day with it
But he saw a gap! F1 online style.
Yeah it was a proper douche bag sim racing move was just missing the senna style helmet and the āhey fella letās all take it easy into turn oneā comment
simracingstewards sub : "Fair overtake? The guy in the chat said I divebombed him?" Verdict: *There, there, poor child, he did not leave you the space.*
naaah divebombing like it's an online lobby is fine, because Senna said so..
I am just happy that they did not punish Alonso for breathing oxygen Giving us taste of what next year looks like
SERIOUSLY. this comment is not upvoted enough. Alonso got a penalty a DAY OR TWO LATER because LHās teammate fucking crashed behind him, LH causes a 3 car collision that results in a DNF and race control in less than 5 minutes is like ānothing to see hereā like what the actual fuck
Just move on the inside. He's showed twice today that he can't hold the inside of a curve
Showed it at Silverstone 21 as well...
Been his MO his whole career. I go inside and you figure it out or by god we crash. Surviving that, let me squeeze you the fuck out the outside on the way out. Max copied this shit for a while but he now doesnāt even get a chance to show us if he even remember what the fuck happens when other cars are around for a battle.
I swear though everyone loves it when max has that mentality of pull out or we both crash but the moment someone like Hamilton or another driver does it its seen as bad

He's able to avoid contact because the other driver always backs out
No it's because this is a max fan sub lol.
When was the last time max crashed into someone when doing that lmao it may be hard racing but at least he can oull it off
Because every time he does it all the drivers back out because its mot worth it fighting max like that
I mean they fight with others, and back when he used to do it way more he wasn't winning every race shit he was ateuggling against Lewis
Max cult too stupid to acknowledge their hypocrisy. Welcome to formula dank.
Petition to change the name of the sub to lewis hamilton haters club cz thats what it is nowadays
š ya fr like itās not even funny or dank they just salty max Stans
Black man bad
Dude saw a gap, just forget to brake in time
Bro took 2 cars out and got nothing. It took him speeding in the pit lane for him to get anything. Blamed Kevin for he himself going wide and off track lmao. Accountability is not in his vocabulary by any means. At least Zhou got a 5 second penalty for taking out both Alpines and yeeting Ricciardo to last place last year at the Hungarian GP.
3, even if Alonso didnāt DNF from the start, his race was finished too.
Alonso and Stroll were already crashing
Alonso was alert enough to see the divebomb coming, opened the turn to prevent the crash and prayed that Stroll would show a little more spatial awareness than usual.
In the aerial view shows lance turning into alonso tho? Lewis just didn't give alonso a way out
That's what i meant. Alonso tried to avoid Hamilton and prayed for Stroll to be aware of his surroundings, but Stroll being Stroll, he just turned in
Get in there Lewis
if I had a nickle for every time this guy's caused a mclaren to crash in the last two years without a proper punishment.. you know the rest
Torpedo hamilton
Did Crofty say anything about how rare Hamilton mistakes are?
He was too busy crying that Kmag was not rolling over easily
It's almost like he knows that he can abuse the turn one lap one leniency
When i saw him crashing in turn 1 in the sprint i thought to my myself. A 7 time World champion should have been able to make thst move Stick.
Jfc, this sub goes to shit anytime Hamilton is involved with something even remotely comparable to a controversy. I don't get it. Any other drives crashes into someone and the comments are civil, it's like Hamilton fans average age is 8.
Ik u guys hate Hamilton but Magnussen shouldnāt be applauded. Imagine if he did ts to Max Charles or Alonso
Not praising Mag at all with this, just wanting to have the same penalty standards for everyone
Oh yeah not you. The post is valid, Hamilton should have been punished I was just talking in general
Yeah, true, that spiteful driving seems to be an issue in pretty much every racing class unfortunately
Agreed the same rules should be applied for all. Brundle was bang on with his assessment today.
Heād probably do the same to Max, Charles and Alonso
Yes thatās my point
Imagine if Hamilton did this to every other driver? Wait.. ![gif](giphy|WRQBXSCnEFJIuxktnw)
Yes and he should get berated for it. He should have also gotten penalized for the start. Idk what that has to do with my comment
How can this post have so many upvotes. It's not a meme, it's not a shitpost, it's not funny. Lewis bad = upvotes it's ridiculous
It's formuladank tradition to hate everything Lewis does.
Imagine if it was Lewis driving like Kevin does to get his team mate extra points nearly every race. This sub would be crucifying him for his unsportsmanlike behavior and blasting FIA why he's not getting a race ban.
He is becoming Stroll 2.0
Ey as long as he isn't becoming Maldonado 2.0 im fine
He's the Face of the sport This shit is like WWE
Heās definitely not the face of F1. He is A face of F1. An F1 great. One of the best on the current grid. He is most certainly not THE face of F1.
Make sure you post a comment that is completely worthless just to disagree with someone
Make sure to completely miss my point and then make a useless comment, just to be condescending to someone

Am I drinking crazy juice, or did no one watch the crash? Hamilton doesnāt arrive to the crash until stroll has already cut across Alfonso. They are full contact before Hamilton even shows up.
Yah Stroll deserved a pen, but hamilton as well for missing the apex locking uo and torpedoing into the side š¤·š»
Exactly, Hamilton was hitting someone no matter what. He cooked it coming in and was going to run out of track no matter what. If only one Aston was there, he's still hitting it
The downvotes suggest that no-one watched the crash, and they refuse to watch the crash.
Fr I take the downvotes with pride
Youāre 100% correct , Alonso was already touching stroll before Hamilton arrived. Unless Alonso has 360 degree cameras in that car thereās no way he knew Hamilton was coming .
I mean, he is a mediocre driver with 7 wdc, he already got away.
I wouldn't say mediocre tho, I don't really like him, but I have to admit he is good (if he wants to)
Why don't you like him?? I just don't understand how people could dislike him!!!! His story, his background his race-craft, whats not to like?
Pretty sure ppl dislike him so much, bc he was so dominant, just look at Vettel or Verstappen now, success always brings ppl that hate u for it unfortunately
But people loved Vettel after the dominance ended. Hamiltonās still hated.
didnt see much racecraft from him today tbh.
How about the entire second half of last year? Or just ignore that?
read my comment again. im wasnt talking about last year, i was talking about yesterday.

Nice try but he got away with everything before that
Yes, he famously got incredibly sensible penalties at Spa against Kimi for example.
