Re: How would you punish Vettel?

0 wdc points for 2016 and ban until end of testing next season.....

Even though there seems to be a lot of legal weight being thrown against Bernie. He will probably get a fine that seems large to us, but a slap on the wrist to him.

Out of the curent field of F1 drivers, the one who seems to stand out as my least favourite is Max Chilton. Not for the fact that he is obviously a pay driver, but he shows no speed or promise in my opinion. He has more practice than his teamate and it looks lik he is getting beaten this seanson :-)
