It's harsh, but they'll make sure they don't do it again.

NR: First of all the start, I had a really good start, so I was happy about that because it’s not so easy this year. The rear tyres are harder and we have more torque. So it’s very difficult to get it right - but it felt great and got away well and then Sebastian, I thought he was going to put me right into the wall, but he stopped just before - so thank you for that!
SV: I had a similar experience last year…
NR: …that doesn’t make it right to do it again! My heartbeat skipped a beat a little bit but I kept right on it, it was OK anyway, it wasn’t that bad.
:lol:

Yeah the penalties are s***. Every year they are tougher for little mistakes.
Like going little off track and rejoin while no one is infront and no one is behind.

Also for each race the stewards change, if could be 1 for all races it wouldnt be maybe so harsh..
But its s***

I agree... first they paid by losing time to bring the car back and fix the wheel properly (losing the chance for a podium finish), then a stop and go penalty lost them the chance to score points and with all that 10 place grid penalty for next race is ridiculous. Won't "teach" them anything more than the first two losses did.

Williams handled that situation at the end really badly. Their explanation afterwards, let Bottas have a go and if he fails switch positions back, made perfect sense. But for that engineer to use the exact same words as Hockenheim 2010 to Massa, it's bad for Massa and the team in building their relationship given the negativity attached to them. What an idiot.

I thought the exact same thing at the time too. I mean one thing was to give team orders at the second race, but phrasing it in the same manner as the orders that started it all in 2010? What on earth was he thinking! That engineer might have just single-handedly caused irreparable damage to the relationship between Massa, his team and his teammate...

Massa did the right thing by staying ahead!
Mercedes was just too strong today, but beware, the World Champion is getting closer.
Let me be the first one to say that, if nothing really bad happens, Vettel will catch Rosberg, Hamilton and Alonso and win the 5th title in a row! Mark my words!

It is the year of ' Make sure Vettel and Red Bull do NOT get a fifth year'.
