The penalty is harsh. The speeding was with all cars being diverted through the pitlane. The risk and danger is much less when no pitstops are taking place.
As for the Norris incident. Stroll and Alonso pretty much pinched each other in. Hamilton rightly cannot be blamed for that one.
Hamilton kept on the apex with a tiny lock up.
Alonso Navigating to avoid Stroll was the main cause of that crash. 4 cars into one corner carries this risk.
Either way Hamilton displaying his arsenal of race tactics to get by mad man Magnussen and then Tsunoda. Both stout defenders.
Should be fun in a Ferrari.
Mercedes car still has some good qualities despite it being a midfeild car now. They are behind Vcarb and Aston for sure.
Depends how much he is speeding by though. Its the pitlane, shouldnt make a difference if there is team personnel in the pit or not. Speeding is speeding.
Turn 1. Lewis was never hitting the apex, or even following it. The onboard shows it. Just a bit unfortunate that 4 into 1 didnt really go. I'm sure we have seen turn 1 incidents penalised this season however, and lewis ruined 3 drivers races.
Rewatch the replay. Alonso and Stroll already tripped over each other even before Lewis got to turn one.
Lewis was in control of the car even with the lock up.
The contact with Alonso was negligible but for Stroll already getting cross up in Alonso's way.
Many contacts happen on lap 1 without penalty. It's the fact stroll and alonso were basically rubbing on each other that cause the domino effect.
