Never been to F1 live but are the fans aware of whats going on re: penalties like that? If not, then its a bit of a shit viewing experience thinking Vettel won it 

[Legend_in_blue]

Vettel is on a paddock tour.  Thought these happened on Friday's?

[UniFox21]

Hate how they're wanting to interview drivers at every point, used to quite like the bits where you witness drivers in the podium room just left to contemplate their place etc.

[Nalis]

These after race time penalties are a joke anyway, bring back the drive thru penalty.

And you also get to see the tension between drivers that despise each other too. Hamilton & Rosberg a few seasons ago throughout the season was fun to watch even if there were no words spoken in the podum room.

Vettel going in to the Mercedes garage as a shortcut  

[Finnegan]

He's such a ****ing child.

It was great watching that kind of thing and just seeing them almost wind down after the race. But now it feels way more forced. 

[StanSP]

Vettel swapping the numbers wow  petulance.

[foxes_rule1978]

He is a real hot head is Vettel great tv though the tension haha

[Legend_in_blue]

He's lucky he didn't have to swap the 3.

Standing with his foot on the top step now. 

[StanSP]

That was seriously childish from Seb though, to be fair. 

 

Kind of thing you expect a kid to do on a sports day or something.

[Facecloth]

This has just surpassed Chernobyl for best TV of the year 

[Nalis]

Yeah on reflection maybe time penalties are the way to go to finally get some personality out of the sport.

 

Vettel is a bit of hotheaded, childish arsehole at times but at least he had a bit of character unlike the robotic/boring personality that is Lewis Hamilton.

That's what you get when you get trained in interviews

 

 

 

Also, poor from the crowd booing Hamilton. He didn't make the decision.

[foxes_rule1978]

Vettel walked off halfway through the question  love it 

[The Horse's Mouth]

Seb is my hero, fairplay to him I kind of wish he boycotted the podium though. I love Seb when he's like this, reminded me a bit of the mexican grand prix where he goes mental to charlie on radio then runs across the pit lane to get on the podium

[Footballwipe]

Let's not lie. We can all spout how childish and petulant Vettel supposedly was then, but you can't say it wasn't great TV and by far more dramatic and entertaining than most of the action on the circuit this season.

Fair play on him for:

1 - not biting at Brundle's stupid question. Quite clear Seb/Lewis get on yet Brundle's question, 'does it leave a bad feeling between you two?' Why would it? Lewis didn't make the decision.

2 - asking the crowd not to boo Lewis because, as above, he didn't make the penalty call, it was the FIA. Probably why he left so he could go complain and vent to FIA some more.

I am the complete opposite of you, can't stand the man but don't like Hamilton either.

i think the penalty was spot on so Lets put it in footballing terms, a striker and last defender are chasing a through ball the defender slips and in the process of falling takes the striker with him, the defender obviously didn’t mean to slip and to take him down but he has hindered the striker from getting to the ball

Doesn't work because there was no contact 

[Collymore]

...As for the indecent he was right to be penalised. He left the track due to poor performance that led to LH having to take invasive braking.

 

His opponent shouldn't be the the loser in his poor driving,
