@tgruener
#F1 #Suzuka Vettel told me, the alleged impeding was under yellow. So he doesn't understad the problem.

Vettel deserves to be on pole, it would leave a sour taste if he was demoted.

Bit strange that Vettel said it wasn't a problem because it was in the yellow flag zone. Turn 16 is the chicane right? So their would've been no yellow flag then.

Just what I was thinking and yes turn 16 appears to be the chicane - http://en.wikipedia....=....svg&page=1

I think it was Alonso's fastest lap as Vettel had backed off his lap through the yellows whereas Alonso finished his only lap of Q3. They were also very close on the live timing.

I would imagine Vettel assumed Alonso was aborting his lap, anyway we did see quite a bit of traffic in today's qualifying session that's still to be dealt with.

Yeah but what Vettel probably meant is he would have known Alonso's lap had been ruined by the yellow flag, why does it matter if I block him?

That may not wash seeing as Koba got 3rd on that lap.

It seems strange all these opinions on whether Vettel blocked or not. Did anyone actually see it?

I hate penalties so I am hoping he didn't block Alonso.

Just because that part of the lap had been ruined, Doesn't mean that he should assume that Alonso would completely back off the whole lap.

It will be well harsh if Vettel gets a penalty. Just seems like Ferrari know they are in trouble to me.

Maybe Sebastian impeded before the yellow flag.

Lets see what the investigation says before jumping to conclusions hysterically.

Alonso didn't mention blocking in post race interviews. Of course, he doesn't have to, but it's still odd.

Apparantly he impeded Alonso at turn 16 which would've been after the yellow flag.

Ridiculous because he could block him? The rules are clear - penalty for blocking. Do you think that Vettel should have special protection?

Well you know what it is
- Hamilton always deserves penalties
- Vettel is never at fault
- Alonso is always behind the scenes trying to penalize the two above.

It never gets old :lol:

Alonso did a 17.7 in S3 of his Q3 lap, which was his best of the whole qualifying session, so I 'would be very surprised if we saw a penalty

This is true, but his S1 time was about 0,2 faster than anything before and S2 was compromised because of Kimi, you have to take that in consideration.

Yeah, I don't know what the bitching is about here. A tenth extra would have had Alonso starting ahead of Perez... 2 tenths extra he would be starting ahead of Grosjean.

Ferrari have every right to report it to the stewards but I doubt anything will be done about it.

Apparently Alonso's on board camera shows Vettel blocking him clearly. Source: spanish journalists, but we can not judge without taking a look at that footage I guess...

My thoughs as well. It almost seems illegal for Ferrari/Alonso to complain about anything that is done wrong on them.

I doubt there will be any penalty for Vettel even if he did impede Alonso.

Cry me a river. :cry:

It's funny how people complain about steward's inconsistency, but then complain when drivers are given penalties for matters like this. Vergne received a penalty. If Vettel blocked Alonso on his hot lap than he deserves to be penalized, nothing else to be added.
