Massa 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2012 Sounds to me like the drivers need to drive better. Three of them can handle the big-time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AleHop 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2012 I saw there're 2 types of infringements. Some are dangerous or affects other's race (collisions) and the other type are not. Some drivers rarely are involved in the first type while others are frequently involved in collisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ikyrotz 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 The list appears to be somewhat inconsistent. On the other hand, there are many "investigated, no action" items listed, but also many such not listed (for example, I remember Alonso being investigated for his driving under yellow flags in Silverstone, but was cleared of any wrong doing. That is not listed above while similar investigations from Hamilton and Schumacher are.) Also, penalties related to gear box changes and such do not really say anything about how one has been driving, so if the point is to show, who are the good ones and who the bad ones, those should be removed.
