The punishments for blocking in Quali have been strange since the start, one driver being penalised for something another did and didn't get penalised for and people being penalised for a block that really wasn't a block. But its the way F1 is. A situation can look different to everyone, a fan will hardly be happy with a penalty and will see the situation in a different light as someone from a rival team and a neutral will have yet another view on it altogther.

The McLarens were on the racing line and as far as I could see there weren't any other car on the racing line. But there should be a rule about how fast the cars should be, and the drivers should use their common sense about were they are after their lap. If it happened to Hamilton or Kovy you can bet that Macca would be complaining and looking for penalities. The BMW's are fast, a block is a block and Nick feels like he was blocked.
Amen.

Yeah they said that it would be raining within an hour. ::oops:;

Why couldn't they start the race earlier or something... :tired: Let's still hope for a fair race and not some SC lottery.

Totally agree with that and I've said it before. The new quali system is just plain stupid. Just let the top 10 nominate the amount of fuel they want for the races before Q3 begins and then let them do all the laps they want (and can fit in those 10 min) on low fuel. Then we would have the show of real quali and also some uncertainty for the race.
I wonder if those suits from the FIA think these thing through or they just pull them out of theis a** :tired:
After all the different types of qualifying, I still like the primitive 12 lap qualifying system.
That would take out all the race fuel conservation tricks, and the fastest driver at the end of the day qualifies first!
