Ricciardo has been handed a 10 place grid penalty for the unsafe release debarcle.

[MatthewT85]

that is ridiculous, penalised in the incident itself, then given a drive through... and now another penalty for it???

[89CAL]

did he serve a drivethrough in the race? I didn't think he did?

Sucks for Dan, showing some real promise but just not having any luck

[MatthewT85]

i think he did deserve the drive through, as it was unsafe, i mean yeah nothing happened but last year or year before there was the wheel that went strolling down pit lane and smashed the camera man...

[chus13]

No-one is disagreeing with him getting a drive-through penalty. It just doesn't seem fair that he should be punished twice for it.

Edit: Disregard that. I didn't see your earlier post.

I wish the whole race had the same intensity of the first few laps. When the field is condensed and on cold tires its edge of your seat stuff. You forget for a brief moment that there is a complete lack of noise and just get enthralled in the racing.

He got a 10 second stop-go from what I remember, and he may have retired before serving it (not sure on this) - which would explain the grid penalty if he did.

Although reading it, it does look like they are giving him both the stop-go and the grid penalty. Guess they are making an example of it or something.

yeah i just read on f1.com that its new for 2014, if you're deemed to have an unsafe release you'll receive a 10sec stop go AND then also a 10 place grid penalty. I think he did serve the stop go also before he retired.

and yeah love the starts to the races but sorta falls off in the middle and then the end can be a bit better... needs safety car....

[25GTT]

I don't understand why he got this, Wasn't it webbers car last year when the tyre hit the camera man. As much as I love webber, why did he not get a 10 spot penalty but ricciardo does?

Plus look at all the Hamilton pit stop screw ups the last two years with unsafe releases.... why is this so different?

[25GTT]

ahhh ok new for 2014 just read the above post..... as long as they are consistent then.

[MatthewT85]

yeah i guess now theyre just trying to prevent these by saying if you screw up you get screwed hard....

[Kinks]

So if you make one mistake you ruin 2 weekends.. nice. let's hope FIA are consistent in applying this penalty to other teams, not just the teams they don't like (ie RBR)

[89CAL]

Put like that ^ it does seem a bit strange that they now do the 5 second stop-go penalty where teams can pit, do the 5 seconds, then work on the car (therefore not as harsh/race ruining penalty), but then they seem to have made the unsafe release twice as harsh

I guess there is more people in the pit-lane that can get hurt, but I dunno, still seems harsh to me. Unless it is one or the other and because Dan didnt serve his 10 second penalty he gets the grid penalty for next race

It's a bloody stupid rule to be honest. How is it the drivers fault? Personally i believe the team should recieve the penalty, be it a fine or constructors points. It's abit rediculus that the driver should be penalised when its something they have zero control over.

God so sick of watching F1 on OneHD. Has anyone found a way to watch via Sky F1 directly? I've been considering Sky f1 Control via VPN/DNS via a UK proxy but to be honest it's still rediculusly expensive. Also abit of a risk, if its even possible as its 12months at a minimum term. All i really want is unhindered FULL coverage i'm more then happy to pay $30>40 a month for it for gods sake.

merc looking VERY good for both championships now

what a points head start

the fact Lewis smoked everyone and STILL had used less fuel than anyone else in the top 10 by a few laps from the end shows how well sorted the Merc is

the driver is considered part of the team

no team orders means has its justifiable knock on effects now
