F1 2021 Round 10 : Silverstone

This is it

10s penalty for Hamilton

McFly85

It’s a bit of a joke to not have a decision on it, so I guess they’ll bottle it and decide racing incident.

Ridiculous that a driver error could end up being so beneficial to the person that caused it.

10 seconds penalty

Ten second time penalty to take place in the pits, equates to about 30 seconds - actually he would be pitting anyways. So just ten seconds.

Hamilton has a 10 second time penalty.

That's total Bullsh1t. 10 seconds.

10 second peno for Hamilton!

PsychoPete

10 second penalty isn't harsh enough

namloc1980

He's lucky it's only a 10 second penalty.

Vicxas

Better than nothing.

Not sure how long this will last, but great to see a Ferrari out in front at a fast circuit!

10 seconds for Lewis

petes

Fairly soft if they are deciding he was at fault tbh

AMKC

That penalty is at least 10 seconds too short. Very soft penalty from the stewards.

SCOOP 64

10 second penalty, he should make that up easy if car not damaged

Should still be a fairly straightforward win for Hamilton from here.

Jumped the gun a bit there.

McFly85

Happy to be wrong! Correct decision there.

Hijpo

Let's hope Verstappen gets the all clear medically and doesn't miss Hungary. Cracked ribs etc

What happens if there is a safety car and he pits under it?

Will he essentially evade penalty as the ten seconds won't matter?

what a absolute joke...It laughable...Should of been 10sec Stop and Go

Andrew76

Damn. Was hoping for a 10s stop and go.

walshb

Brundle screwing up explaining the penalty..

CFlat

C4 commentators saying the 10 sec penalty is very soft.

Could be but LeClerc flying at the minute, hope he makes it last as long as he can!

dublinman1990

How will the pit stops affect the positions of LeClerc & Hamilton later on in the race? I would think it will benefit LeClerc a lot more in getting in and out of the pits with a clean pit stop before Lewis goes into the pits & has to take his penalty? The order of the drivers will have a big influence in not dropping Lewis further down some further positions while he has his stop.

Should have been a 10 second stop and go. Very soft penalty in the end

waynescales1

Vettel doing an identical spin to the one he did in.... Baku? 2019? Battling Hamilton.

petes

I'd expect some form of protest from RB due to that penalty

You can always tell someone has lost an argument and have no reasonable points to make when they resort to attacks instead.

Yep, the time penalties are silly. 5 seconds could be meaningless or cost 10 spots. Depends too much on external factors despite being a "fixed" penalty.
