Cars swerve around each other all the time on the parade lap. When the winner is basking in glory at a slow speed, others whizz by. Whats the problem?

Just f**king great. Feast your eyes on what happened today kids, because thanks to the stewards, you'll never see such camaraderie happen again!

Well, that was their point, wasn't it? :confused:
Think about it... Taxiing is not allowed, and while I don't agree with the rule, they only got a reprimand. It's rotten luck that it was Webber's third that resulted in a 10 place grid drop, and makes the whole penalty look more serious than it was. And if Cooper, Buxton and all the others say that it was deserved and it was dangerous, I believe them... :blush:

It's not about this. Alonso stopped his car in a dangerous position and Webber went to the track without the permission of the marshals.

Hamilton 'shocked' by Alonso and Webber taxi moment.

It's a fair penalty and it should stay that way. In fact, nobody would care if this had been their first reprimand.

I just wish I had seen the 2008 season where Vettel actually were brilliant. It seems like from 2009, the history was written on forehand by starting with the RB5. It's quite unbelieveble how Newey have had so much success here and not at Mclaren with Mika, Kimi, JPM and DC in the 2001-2006 years.

As I said earlier during the race. I think Webber should have been gone for 2012. He throws away a WDC in Korea 2010 and then only a single win in 2011 (with team orders). There's other people who should have got the seat instead of Webber.

Since the Success of Red Bull and Newey, I've always had this thought of giving Karthikeyan the second seat for three races and then he can show temporarily that he is not s***. For the next three races they get Bourdais in. Then for the next three races they get Liuzzi into the seat. That would have shown what talent the driver has, cause right now, It doesn't matter if Bianchi or Hulkenberg are more talented than Massa and Rosberg, when the latter both are in better cars and look like they are better drivers.
Yeah, you are right. They should have done that at Red Bull. Would totally have worked since drivers get used to a new car in a few laps on track. Hell they should have let the fans have a go. Choose a lucky fella to drive in Monaco. Could have been fun, but I heard that Vettel insisted to keep Webber because otherwise he could have lost his WDC to Karthikeyan. :lol:

Joking aside... I see your point. It has been discussed why Red Bull kept Webber and if you want everyone to have the same cars, you shouldn't watch F1.

Imo there should be a set laptime. Ive seen cars swerving around racewinners going slow mo basking in the glory on the racing line or swerving to avoid contact.

Racing incident :p

Actually... it was pretty scary. Alonso should have been further to the outside to make it not as dangerous........ Like Lewis said, not on the racing line.
