With this penalty precedent, if a driver finds himself off track/grass in the first corner of a race, he should wait for all the grid to get past before rejoining. Anything else and he would be rejoining in an unsafe way and gaining a lasting advantage. |

| Vettel was adamant that he had done nothing wrong, and said that he had been powerless in the situation as his car had been out of control after running over the grass. But while it is clear from on board footage that Vettel was battling to regain control of his car after bouncing across the grass, it is understood that the stewards' decision was based on actions that Vettel took once he had got going again. The stewards examined slow motion footage of Vettel's actions from the moment that he had regained control and started steering his car – and it was felt that it showed that the German could have chosen a different path than the one he took. The footage clearly captures Vettel correcting an oversteer moment as he rejoins the track – which is shown by a sharp steering wheel movement to the right by the German. Shortly after that, however, Vettel has dispatched the oversteer and begins steering to the left to follow the direction of the circuit - suggesting he is now under control. But a split moment later, rather than keeping to the left, Vettel is shown to release the steering wheel which allows his car to drift to the right – cutting off the route that Hamilton would have taken had he had clear space. The movement to straighten the wheel, which put Vettel into the path of Hamilton, is believed to be key to the unanimous decision by the stewards to punish Vettel. A further reason the stewards established was through the use of an extra CCTV camera view of the incident, which was not broadcast on the international feed, showing Vettel's head looking in the mirrors at where Hamilton was during these moments when he was releasing the wheel to the right. |

I'm sure Vettle is looking to move back to Red Bull. He spends alot of him hanging out there and is still close to Marko. He seems to have lost his mojo being at Ferrari and would want to relive his glory days. Pierre Gasly is clearly off pace so he could be moved down back to TR. Coming to Canada, I think it's the first race in 18 seasons that I have willingly missed. It's just how f1 is these days, there is barely any racing happening and more management happening. So the highlights did the job for me this time. |

With Max Vestrappen being the top dog and future for Redbull, I doubt Sebastian Vettel will walk into lions den. |

I am hoping for a seat exchange between Mercedes and Ferrari. Lewis to be red and Seb to be Silver. |

I think Max will replace Bottas at Mercedes. However I don't see Lewis moving anywhere. He is gonna try to break Schumys world title record before he makes any moves and i'm sure he knows that the Mercedes is the best car for him to be able to do it. Seb and LeClerc will be in Ferrari at least for another year before Seb possibly being replaced by Alonso :D |

| Competitors can trigger Article 14, titled Right of Review, if "a significant and relevant new element is discovered which was unavailable to the parties seeking the review at the time". Then the stewards "must meet (in person or by other means) on a date agreed amongst themselves, summoning the party or parties concerned to hear any relevant explanations and to judge in the light of the facts and elements brought before them". It remains unclear what new elements Ferrari are going to present, with a team spokesperson saying: "Due to the sensitivity of the matter we are not giving any further details." The FIA must now agree a date and time to assess the new material and explanations. |
| Additional evidence supplied by Ferrari was in the form of video and images, including Sky F1 pundit Karun Chandhok’s observations after the race :eek:. But these were dismissed as a personal opinion and not considered to be hard facts. |
