This is well deseved. I believe they'll start 8th and 9th.

I predict a DNF for Hamilton.

And you do not find it very interesting that only McLaren was penalized for this? Other cars did this in different parts of the track yet they were not penalized.

Everyone has the chance to go out and qualify at any time in the 3rd session. Most drag it out and head out a few minutes late, then always complain about the track being so full. After you have done your "fast lap" its customary to drive the in-lap at a somewhat reduced pace. Thats what they were doing as shown on the video feed. Others did the same thing, yet only McLaren was selected for this penality.

Sad to see that the FIA is now resorting to things like this out of their dislike for any team. Its supposed to be fair and balanced and clearly is not in this and many other cases against this team.

I predict that with a name like "Gino" that you are somewhat a Ferarri fan? Unbiased comment and prediction of course but then my Nephew is named Vito Anthony and he is the same!
