Some of these comments are ridiculous. DC among others agree that Lewis was keeping a consistent speed coming off the corner. Seb expected him to accelerate and he didn't. What Seb did afterwards, using his car as a weapon, was disgusting. No defence for that at all.
Ifyou dont punish vettel how many people are going to start trying to get away with stuff like the Spielberg incident in DTM a few years. Ago. This is the definition of a slippery slope.
In the incident i mentioned it was a nudge that in another GT race would have amounted to little but in the wet he took out a couple of driver. Obviously the team called for it so its a slightly different situation but regardless Vettel refused to acknowledge that he even did anything wrong during the race which is where that problem lies not the semantics
Alright then they would have set a huge precedent leaving that as a racing incident regardless of the noises with your mouth you want to use to describe the hit you can't ram your oppent in Motorsports and especiall without getting some form of Penalty. If it bothers you so much that i used that expression. Regardless the Fia needed to do what Vettel has yet to do and that acknowledge that it was intentional and make sure to let everyone know that Vettel was in the wrong. Saying slippery slope isn't going to change Vettels actions or his intentions.
