Not surprising FIA doesn't let boys be boys. FIA thinks F1 as a serious business, like politics and world economy. Well no. It's a play that adults do. A game. Vettel won this game, and should be encouraged to celebrate. How does FIA participate in the celebration? Throwing a surprise party? Offering free booze? No, only punishments and fines.
I don't get it why FIA has been allowed to go on ruining the enjoyment and bit by bit the whole sport. Someone should monitor FIA, and that should be the fans.

From the Autosport article: "Sebastian Vettel has been summoned by the FIA to explain why he celebrated in front of fans at the Indian Grand Prix rather than taking his car straight to parc ferme." ... Yes, that is a mystery, I wonder why he did that?

Yeah, a few of them were very vitriolic towards Permane.

It might get them a few angry FB comments but that "Don't Shout" will make them a fair few quid in T-shirt sales so it balances out :p

Pirelli are upset that some teams disobeyed there Pre-race advice on how many laps each tyre should be left on the car for.

They told teams not to use the soft's for more than 15 laps & the mediums for no more than 35.

In case anyone wondered how Chilton beat Bianchi, the latter suffered an 11s delay during his first stop.

I wonder why Red Bull didn't allow Webber to do more laps on the soft tyre and called him back in again just 4 laps after he pitted for options!?

I don't think they expected them to last.

Webber said in his interview that he didn't want to run the risk of getting stuck with the options by a safety car and ending up losing masses of track position when he would have to come in to change back over.

It's also probably why they had Seb come in on lap 2 when he could perhaps have gone a little bit further.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

F1 teams in ignoring Tyre companies safety directives shocker.

Yet if there was a puncture, who would be blamed by the ignorant fans and media? :beard:

A race review for your reading, to keep anyone cosy during tonight's storm
http://www.f1zone.net/news/vier-tel-joi ... iew/20894/

One fact is that Vettel has taken 322/400 points available. Hit rate of 80.5%. If he wins the last three races, he'll eclipse his 2011 tally.

THIS sounds totally like F1. Sad but true.

According to Canal+'s reporter, there was a big argument between Kimi & Permane in the hospitality unit post-race.

Those donuts were the most exciting thing a Red Bull car has done on track since the Malaysian GP. It would make a driver who dominates more popular if it was allowed every race I think

Yeah can't say I'm surprised. That little exchange was definitely recipe for something heated after. Kimi probably can't wait to get the season done and get out of there...

Can't wait to see Alonso and Kimi beating wheels in 2014, coz that's what it's gonna happen. That's what I call entertainment buddy.
