Fernando Alonso has won the Chinese Grand Prix to become the third winner in three racing this season. Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen finished in a distant second place while Lewis Hamilton is third, fending off the last charge of Sebastian Vettel.
They might have 5 seconds taken off of this race, they have done that before when alot of people get a penalty. That wouldn't change for Vettel but would put Kimi in Third.RB_[Gnx] wrote:Grid Drops for Seb , Mark and Kimi? due to the fact of Using DRS under yellow flag conditions..

Button investigated too. IMO if anything comes of it - it would be a 20s penalty, rather than a grid drop.RB_[Gnx] wrote:Grid Drops for Seb , Mark and Kimi? due to the fact of Using DRS under yellow flag conditions..

Merc tire wear was worst then Lotus, so they needed to stretch the stint. Otherwise the would be bait at the end. So they covered really good 0,2 ahead of Vettel. If he would have covered Kimi Vettel would have pipped him at the end.Shrieker wrote:I love how Merc screwed up the strategy for Lewis on his final stop. They stopped 2 laps later than Raikkonen and essentially handed him 2nd place. Lewis and Kimi had very similar pace, track position (dirty air) made all the difference. All they had to do was try maintain track position which they already had.

Depends. I don't think they'd want to modify the podium, so if Kimi has to get a grid drop to prevent that then it may cascade to the others. Depends who is guilty and who isn't. They may just let them all off, although if an offense has been committed then I hope they don't do that.raymondu999 wrote:Button investigated too.

If its fair for one...its fair for the rest that are accused and found guilty...they all committed the same offense correct?Rikhart wrote:Hell, I hope they dont punish Raikkonen for the stupid system not working properly in the first place!
