You just made my point.

Everyone looks the other way as Hambone plays smash em up derby on the track.

I was pointing out how critical every has been of MS over the years and will even go as far back as 10-13 years ago to make a point. Thank you BTW.

Lets look at Kimi then, everyone wants him penalized for rear ending Sutil as he lost control on a drying track in Monaco. The same people cry foul over Hambone rear ending Kimi at the next race when he is penalized.

Kimi's car has a part flailing on it, so did just about every McLaren he raced in, there was something always falling off of them. Especially mirrors. Never a Black Flag. Now all of the sudden there needs to be a black flag and the FIA is playing favorites.

I have seen plenty of drive through penalties for cutting chicanes and gaining position. Its basically against the rule.

Go rewatch that footage and see how fast Hambone is flying up on the Red Bull car and tell me he did not brake way too late in order to attempt to make a attempted pass stick?

He blew the pass he overshot the chicane and he took a track position unfairly. He justly got a drive through, or would you have preferred a time penalty instead?
