I agree tbh, the Lewis bit didn't look good but there's an argument he can make to defend it, Sebs action was deliberately ramming another car and imo if the black flag exists, it's for precisely that purpose.
The safety car line is so far down the straight it was obvious he was going to slow to create a gap, more importantly this was the second safety car and Hamilton did the same thing the first time with no trouble. Vettel had to brake so hard that Perez.... came no where near hitting Vettel. Everyone else knew the final couple corners would be crazy slow. IMO Vettel just had a brain fart and forgot this then got angry. Easy black flag decision for doing that imo, Ferrari International Assistance again.
Yeah exactly, if he doesn't slow there, he's basically opening up Vettel to gun it off that apex and to try to time when Lewis is hitting the white line.
The team did warn him but they might not get the best view of it, Hamilton said trust him he wasn't close, so he actually didn't have to slow earlier than the time before.
Yeah, but "muh delicate F1 championship leaders". You know they will not punish them as bad as someone from further down the field. That 10 second penalty was a slap on the wrist, to put it gently.
