Verstappen fined, while Barichello goes unpunished.Is it because he drives a Ferrari?

[Quino]

I would have to say dumbness.

If telemetry shows he DID brake 30 metres earlier he must have stayed on the throttle and exercised very little brake-pressure.
(If he really braked 30 metres earlier, was he changing back to racingline while under braking?!?)

A case of interpreting telemetry-data.

Telemetry doens't lie but the truth is not merely the absence of lies.

I too believe Jos is less at fault than Rubens. Rubens' move was plain stupid - Jos' was a mistake, caused, I believe, by Jos' car being sucked into the back of the Williams.

[enemy-ace]

So your saying that Jos doesn't suck but the Williams car does?

And so Rubens crash was totally his fault because he is stupid, idiotic, rubbish, rash...and driving a FERRARI?

Is Rubens being condemned here by posters just because he is a Ferrari driver? For this incident, i do believe it is Rubens fault (at least 80%)...but its just another racing incident. No reason for putting him down, for they are afterall racing... By the way, although i think this accident was Rubens fault, i think the previous 2 in Aust, and esp Sepang, wasnt his.

And JOS boy...indeed, he is just like a victim, but as a driver being lapped, by the leader, with him clearly out of the runnings...it would be advisible he practice more cautions...

The Barrichello-Schumacher incident was a racing accident. A group of drivers fighting for position in the first lap of a GP. Almost in every race there are cars left out in first lap accidents and nobody asks for race bans.

The Montoya-Verstappen incident was a driver being lapped taking out the leader of the GP.

It´s Verstappen the one who should have been given a two race ban.
