You're absolutely wrong on this one. Respecting the pit exit line is a fundamental aspect of F1 safety and there are no shades of grey. You'll note that no-one objected the penalty at the weekend despite it basically ruining any hope Hamilton had of winning. Unlike track limits which are applied on a corner-by-corner, track-by-track basis (which I personally think is wrong), the pit exit rule has to be an absolute applied across all tracks in the same way that overtaking under a red flag (Vettel in Canada) is an absolute no-no no matter what the circumstance.

Yip crossing the pit exit blend line is a definite penalty. Really the 5s time penalty not harsh enough.

They should only use the 5s for very minor infrigements. Anything which clearly has a safety impact should be a drive through at least.

Yeah, maybe not a good example to use. To be fair though, I thought the 5sec penalty was reasonable. I think it's mainly all the engine/gearbox penalties which are the most annoying, same with penalties that ''roll-over'' to the next race.

Yes, hopefully they will do better than McLaren are at the mo, which shouldn't be too difficult (oops)

Think If McLaren were to strap on a sail they would do better, would do no worse

Hopefully Ron may learn that you can't just walk in and say "I've come in to save the team and get us back to winning again" and then expect that to happen as if by magic

I know it isn't going to happen but would anyone like to see the British GP return to Brands Hatch?

How about Donington Park ?

Personally, Think it's always going to be silverstone, maybe they could share it though

I think I was one of the few excited by Donington's "Deal".

But then, I only live 20 minutes away

Williams have now successfully lost this race all to keep Massa happy
Forza Ferrari
05-07-2015
Oh dear Williams have blown it. Massa gets the blame for being a slow driver.

Only rain could make this race interesting now.

They keep on chuntering on about rain "light in 15 minutes, heavier in 30" but it's clear from the rainfall radar that it might be brief and light... with a short heavy burst at worst.

If the track wets, it will probably soon develop a dry line when the rain stops. So we could see different strategies... interesting! It could last for half an hour by the way, to the end!

Umbrellas up the fosters is getting water down could get slightly interesting now.

This is complete guesswork for the teams, as it's impossible to tell from the radar whether or not the heavier rain will cross the circuit, all or part of it!
Forza Ferrari

Even the rain is a bit dull in F1 now.

I think they will need intermediates before the end. How can Ros be catching Ham so quickly???

Interesting! Ham on inters, Ros *might* be able to do it on slicks! It's guesswork!

I was about to say that Lewis had blown it, but it looks a spot on call... nightmare period for the teams, but it's clearly getting worse out there now.
