I think the move on Sirotkin was far more dangerous than the move on Kimi.
Hotlap or not: both moves were clumsy and at least one was dangerous.
As for Vettel: that was stupid and clumsy too.
From the coverage, it is unclear when exactly he was called on the weigh bridge. He did 3 runs in Q2. A single lap on supersofts, a outlap - timed lap - inlap on softs, and a outlap - timed lap(?) - inlap at the very end.
Was that when he came in to switch from supersofts to softs? Or after his very last Q2 run?
This has nothing to do with Vettel or not, but I think they should not weigh cars while the session is going on. They should/could do so after qualifying is completed, or after Q1 / Q2 is over.
If they weigh during the session, it seems a bit random and unprifessional to me, and can put cars at a disadvantage.
