10 place penalty for Hamilton and Rosberg
they served it, although Hamilton's mistake was bigger.

I suppose the key to this is that it was in the pit lane and there is the safety aspect.
I don't think it needs one, but hey ho. |

What is worse is that there is no link. A 10 place penalty for you alonso11 if ever you play the parc ferme F1 game.

Everything must be penalised. Mistakes must be eradicated.
What happened to the days of looking at such incidents in an adult manner? You can do anything: fines, points on licenses, loud shouting. No, let's have a random grid penalty again. |

Yes, they are different. Although both should be described as numpties for it!

How about a poll?
Article looks the same as on Autosport - doesn't fully state what the penalty is for (the collision, or ignoring the red - or a bit of both). |

The argument about ignoring lights isn't that valid. It would only be ignoring the light if you crossed the line that you weren't supposed to cross.
The penalty has to be for causing a collision because they didn't ignore the light. They stopped before the light. It doesn't tie in with other penalties for ignoring flags, lights or signalling errors. There is also a responsibility of the organiser/FIA to ensure the light is easily seen. Barrichello complained last year it wasn't easy to see at another track and it is npot easy to see when you are following someone, especially if your attention is on the cars in front and what they are doing. The other issue is not the fact they hit the car in front but the appropriateness of the penalty. If you can take out a car on the circuit in a 'racing incident' and not recieve a penalty this is draconian in comparison.Not only did it stuff up their own race but they have then been stuffed for the next one.... The FIA judicial system is faulty, considerably so, and it needs consistency, appropriate consistently applied penalties, and a greater degree of transparency. |

Lewis fell asleep at the wheel and didn't see the red. A well deserved penalty in my view.

it does make sense again, although 1.) Hamilton did cross the line and 2.) you can ignore a light not only by crossing the line but also by not braking in time (getting stoped by the cars you hit before you approach the line isnt really the best excuse) |

I don't think there's a problem with the penalty itself - both Hamilton and Rosberg could have avoided that accident, and their teams could have helped them to do it by getting on the radio and telling them to stop at the end of the pitlane. The issue is how the FIA applies these penalties, because worse offences have gone unpunished in the past. |

As in all these type of debates following an incident, you can tell who supports who by the often prejudiced/biased comments.
All I will say here is the FIA need to be consistent in their decisions. |

Come on guys .. Causing an a avoidable incident in the pit lane under safety car conditions is a biggy in my books. 10 place grid drop is a justified penalty.
