Bottas first to land penalty points



Valtteri Bottas has become the first driver to be awarded penalty points on his F1 superlicense under the new system._L0U5994

It is one of several changes to the Sporting Regulations for this season and was confirmed last December. Points can be added to a driver’s license by the stewards and will help to punish repeat offenders.

If a driver accrues 12 points in the space of 12 months, he will be handed a one-race ban. They will remain on a driver’s superlicense for one year before being removed, but they can be carried over across seasons.

Bottas was found to have impeded Daniel Ricciardo during qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix by the stewards. As well as the penalty points, he was also handed a three-place grid penalty – meaning he will start Sunday’s race from 18th place. on the grid.

The Finn was convinced he was not at fault, but stewards said that he “did not pay attention to the approaching car and continued to impede car 3 through Turns 14 and 15.”

It was a dramatic qualifying session with heavy rain delaying the start by 50 minutes. When it eventually got underway, Lewis Hamilton powered to pole position from Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg.

Indeed, how stupid of Williams to do this. They won't catch Button even if Massa backed down, meaning Bottas fight is with Massa.

Boring race. No drama. Little racing amongst the top drivers after the first lap.

Magnussen and Bianchi get penalty points



Kevin Magnussen and Jules Bianchi received two penalty points each on their F1 superlicences at the Malaysian Grand Prix after causing collisions in the race.

Under new rules this year, any driver who earns 12 penalty points over the course of the season will receive a one-race ban at the next event.

Magnussen hit Kimi Raikkonen at the start, breaking his McLaren's front wing and puncturing the Ferrari's right rear tyre, but went on to finish ninth. He was given a five-second stop-go penalty at his second pit stop as well as the two penalty points.

"I'm sorry for the team that I messed it up in the first corner," Magnussen said. "I think we could have had some good points today, so I'm really disappointed with myself that I made that mistake today. Formula One races are long and I shouldn't have made a mistake like that in the first corner. I'm really disappointed with myself."

Bianchi tangled with Pastor Maldonado at Turn 4 on the first lap, but said he was carrying damage from an incident with Jean-Eric Vergne at Turn 1.

"Unfortunately the situation with Maldonado was a consequence of what happened off the start, when Vergne hit me from behind and punctured my left rear tyre," Bianchi said. "Quite simply I could not avoid Maldonado; there was nothing I could do. We came in to change the tyres and to fit a new front wing but when I returned to the track the car was not easy to drive and we suspected a problem with the brakes.

"We could not continue to drive this way and had no choice but to retire. It was disappointing to end my race after 8 laps and this is not the reward the Team deserves after a week where we seemed to make good progress through the sessions."

Valtteri Bottas received two penalty points on Saturday in Malaysia after holding up Daniel Ricciardo in qualifying.

Wait a couple more GP where Merc are 1 and 2 and we can write off this season and watch something else.

[Helios]

keep your eye on the novices and young drivers. their skills seem legit enough to dominate the establishment

competitive instincts and a host set of spatial and peripheral abilities wane with age among vet drivers

Ang drama ng RBR...
