Vettel drive-through, Italian GP 2012
#1
Posted 09 September 2012 - 12:59
"20.3 More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted. Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position off‐line, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner."
So can this be read as: the one-width rule applies only in cases where the driver first left the racing line? If so, then the drive-through for Vettel does not seem justified, because as I see it he was on the usual racing line through Curva Grande.

Aw well, back to the race where Alonso's radio is annoucing that Massa will be giving him his position. What a joke of a driver. And there oozes the last of the very little respect I had left for the dude. Worst Driver Ever.

Also much lost respect for Alonso for his whining. It was exactly the same situation as last year in reverse!

It was a bunch of crap. Alonso being handed the damn championship - being handed all kinds of crap this year.
Yeah, lol. Vettel broke the rule that was made in Bahrain from this year (because of Rosberg) and it's all about FIA predicting that this would happen in Italy.
Vettel left him more room than he left last year.
Not so.
Terrible call. Then we will hear what a 'fabulous' driver Alonso is - when he went wide and forced himself further into the dirt.
He ended up overtaking Vettel anyway, so yep, sure he is fabulous.

That has nothing to do with this thread. But RBR has also performed team orders several times too.

It's the same with the FIA today.

16) INCIDENTS
16.1 "Incident" means any occurrence or series of occurrences involving one or more drivers, or any action by any driver, which is reported to the stewards by the race director (or noted by the stewards and subsequently investigated) which :
a) Necessitated the suspension of a race under Article 41.
b) Constituted a breach of these Sporting Regulations or the Code.
c) Caused a false start by one or more cars.
d) Caused a collision.
e) Forced a driver off the track.
f) Illegitimately prevented a legitimate overtaking manoeuvre by a driver.
g) Illegitimately impeded another driver during overtaking.
Unless it was completely clear that a driver was in breach of any of the above, any incidents involving more than one car will normally be investigated after the race.
The rule is the rule.

Yes. There is nothing else to it but to deal with it.

Ridiculous penalty. Vettel was on the racing line and Alonso was not ahead of him.
He was, he had a large part of his car alongside Vettel and Vettel kept on turning without leaving space (at least Alonso left space enough for a car last year).
And replays that will surely show up here will prove this (hence, FIA action).

But Vettel was already opening to the left and taking the turn when Alonso dived in. The rule says that you have to give room, but it doesn't say you have to back down or to slow down or to move away because the driver behind you might missjudge the situation and try to attack where there is no room at all.The FIA states:
"20.3 More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted. Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position off‐line, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner."

The question I would ask is not whether Vettel's penalty was deserved, but rather if he would have got one had the race steward not being from Spain.

There is no consistency whatsoever. Dozens of similar moves by other drivers this year have not been punished.
Vettel did not make two moves, he made one move to cover the outside line, which is allowed.
#24
Posted 09 September 2012 - 13:34
Vettel made the move of covering the inside well before Alonso was near him, Alonso sees this and losing all sense decides to still dive up the inside where there was absolutely no room. Terrible driving for Alonso, almost worthy of him losing it on the grass.

One of the worst decisions I've seen, not surprised it's against Ferralonso at Monza (what a despicable team and driver).

Vettel have to LEAVE SOME SPACE. It's too hard to understand ?

Exactly, completely Alonso's misjudgment. What are the consequenses for him: penalty for Vettel, team-order to get through Massa, Button to DNF from ahead and then Vettel to DNF to top it off.
It would be hard to write this ****.

Vettel fans in thinking gravel trap is part of the track-shocker
The funny thing is that Vettel fans were asking Alonso to be banned from F1 last year for pushing Vettel to the limit but never outside of the track, leaving the space eventually... Thing Vettel did not do this year.

You are 1000% correct! Vettel covered the INSIDE (as you so rightly pointed out), and Alonso went to the OUTSIDE.
Vettel then moved outside, so as you have made so clear, obvious infraction! Thanks for clearing that up
#33
Posted 09 September 2012 - 13:38
Alonso went to the outside, Vettel moved again, pushed Alonso wide, and left no room. Alonso didn't go by himself, he was forced there.
#34
Posted 09 September 2012 - 13:38
Alonso made more defensive moves in last year's race, Seb didn't do anything wrong to me...
And as you can check for yourself in the forum, I'm not a Vettel fan...

Actually the footage shows vettel left him much less room than alonso left him last year (vettel ran wide last year remember).
Disappointed vettel did it because I'm such a big fan of his and every time I've met him he's been class, but the penalty was deserved as it clearly broke the rules.
Great race though!

I meant inside to the chicane. Try again.

When fanboys were asking for a penalty , I was LOLing hard !
And then I had egg on my face - You know what I mean . When it came on screen , really couldn't believe it.
It was exact repeat of last year

Alonso got past Vettel before he got the penalty, it's not like he got the position after the penalty. Vettel also retired so it really didn't make a difference...
I didn't got to really understand if the penalty was trully justified, but Brundle during his commentary said that the more he saw the replay the more it seemed like Vettel was "naughty", and it's not like he's an Alonso fanboy.
You can argue what you want, but if anything might have cost Vettel the championship it was the DNF not the penalty. Still a long way to go, so it's no like Vettel doesn't stand a chance anymore.

You have to give space to the overtaking car.
Vettel tried to be funny, but the joke ended up on him.

I agree, they rarely apply the rules so competently as todayLooks like obvious Monza bias for Ferrari from the stewards. Shame on them. Spineless.
