Simple
They suck Vettel's dick. 

Yea, that was bullshit.  IMHO, this should not have been a penalty at all considering they deemed the contact between the HAAS drivers a racing incident. 

I was happy to see that both Hamilton and Kimi finished on the Podium.

Vettel did drive a great race from the front and deserved the win. 
I was super sad for LeClerc.   That kid has talent and he was in a position to have another great finish and then had the issue with one wheel. 

I was surprised at how many crashes there were.  This isn't a track where there is normally that much action. It sure made the race interesting.

Germany this weekend, anyone want to bet on who Ferrari hits in this race and what the time penalty might be?

I think Kimi should take out Vettel, it should only be a 5 sec Kimi will get 10 sec but it'll be worth it.

It would be the opposite of Singapore. 
:lol:

People made a big deal about Verstappen, but if you look back at this season and last season.  Vettel has actually caused more crashes than any other driver.

Saw this
*******
Ferrari have added a separate/additional turbine in the exhaust, and which, of course, is spun by the exhaust, and it is not used to pressurize induction air; rather, its spinning generates electricity that is harvested and stored and/or uses the energy to drive a pump which adds more air to the engine and/or drives the turbo to reduce lag and/or just charges the battery to get more electric boost.

NEW Arrangement:

So did you see that the stewards had investigated Ham's pit abort under the yellow?

End result was just a reprimand.

Not anyone but something.

Yes Ham got a reprimand, another 2 this season and he gets a 10 spot grid penalty.

True, Vettel hit something and he didn't get a penalty, Elff's theory must be right.

I could not find qualifying on my TV guide so I waited and watched it on the ESPN App.

WOW, great qualifying.  That really showed how much skill these guys have.
