Iam sure this will upset UK posters but here in the Southern Hemisphere we see things differently and maybe a little less bias. The reason for this post was finally spured by the Alonso penalty which I think was totally uncalled for as it was a racing tactic used since the beginning of racing as we know it. Some other cases recently was Lando starting outside his box after moving before the green. If you find an excuse for moving there was no excuse for being outside the box. Interestingly was it not another non English driver who was penalised recently for that very same thing. From personnal experience another car moving at the critical moment is distracting to other drivers and could in some cases cause another driver to move although rare the distraction is not.
Again Lando crossed the exit line from the pits in Melbourne which seemed to be, by the angle, an attempt to cut off his team mate from passing. My opinion shared by others but silence from FOX FIA etc.
I could list a few concerning Hamilton, Silverstone stands out as the most blatant.
