    Aaaand Vettel lost his racing license AND his road driving license plus 6 months suspended jail sentence! Just kidding, no further penalties.

    In other news the tears on Hamilton's cheeks are starting to dry up and he's preparing for the next weekend full of pandering and then crying (even though he still has the fastest car in F1 after a short blip a few races long from Ferrari in the beginning of this season).

    It appears that the thug Vettel has escaped further sanction. I will accept FIA ruling and that Vettel has issued public apology and will apologize to Hamilton as well.

    They should have also issued all drivers with pitchforks to keep the bringer of chaos, Vettel at bay.

    LOL, no need to drag this further. His apology is good enough, at least we can hope the beast that is Vettel is now tamed.

    From the official FIA statement
    "However, it is the role of top sportsmen to deal with that pressure calmly and to conduct themselves in a manner that not only respects the regulations of the sport but which befits the elevated status they enjoy.

    "Sportsmen must be cognisant of the impact their behaviour can have on those who look up to them. They are heroes and role models and to millions of fans worldwide and must conduct themselves accordingly."

    So young drivers out there if you are losing block your teammate so he doesn't win either, and ask your team to slow down your teammate if he is in front.....those are things a real sportsman would do.

    Ok, lets look at the radio transcripts- http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2017/06/3...io-transcript/

    47 From Lewis Hamilton: Guys if Valtteri’s not fighting anyone ahead need to have him slow down, give a bad wake.
    47 To Lewis Hamilton: Copy Lewis. Valtteri’s trying to catch Stroll. We don’t want to give Vettel DRS.

    Hamilton request was turned down since Bottas was fighting Stroll. In my view it was a good team strategy if Bottas wasn't fighting anyone, give Vettel bad wake, then Hamilton mugs him, but in this case, it was not applicable.

    Keep in mind, when Bottas was a lap down and was in the process of unlapping behind safety car, Lewis asked if he could slow down the pack to allow Bottas to catch up:

    16 From Lewis Hamilton Valtteri a lap down?
    16 To Lewis Hamilton: Affirm, he had a puncture along with wing damage.
    16 From Lewis Hamilton Should slow the bunch up in one go to give the car time to get around.
    16 To Lewis Hamilton: Stay with the Safety Car, ten car lengths.

    So, in my view, Lewis was trying to maximize team points, as well as his own.

    This is still my favourite retaliation crash, Hilarious:



    Now THAT was dangerous and unsportsmanlike. Vettel's little tap was nothing, not rage, and not dangerous.

    Yup. Goes for the loads of younger F1 drivers weaving too. And more: pushing other cars, especially your own teammate time and again off the track on purpose! That's much more dangerous contact too, at many times higher speed and in a hectic racing situation.
