No penalty for Kobayashi ?

I watched the bbc footage again, and I didn't see him weave once! only his block on nakajima, and an otherwise excellent race. Shame the stewards aren't more consistent with their penalty's from race to race though.

He did move around a little bit in the braking zones, but not enough to bitch about really. It's the kind of thing all the drivers do from time to time, although they'd never admit it.

He was well behaved, firm but fair with Button.

Apart from the Nakajima incident being dangerous and totally KK's fault, but lets face it Nakajima would have crashed at some point anyway, KK had a good race as far as I can see.

I guess Kobayashi's defensive techniques were probably in the grey area, I would still say there was alot more fairness than blatant blocking in his moves. I think he was moving about a bit under braking, but I dont think it was blatant enough to warrant a penalty, I think it was good teeth-grinding racing.

At the end of the day racing is a dangerous sport. What Kobayashi did was good in my eyes, he was prepared to go wheel to wheel with a driver who was in the drivers championship battle. He was clean, didn't make contact, and showed good skill with a well executed cross-over move on button to regain his position at turn one. Its good to see a driver grinding his teeth like that, one thing is for sure he gave that race his all. I say good on the young lad.
