Not a driver, but any death related to the sport isn't good.

Di Resta pushed it's tires to the limit, in a one stop strategy. Amazing!!

Yeah, that is kind of insane the series of things that had to happen for that guy to die like that is pretty weird.

It could be. But not in the traditional sense. Ferrari got around that with a hand clutch lever that kimi and Felipe used as manual TC. It was legal that year and then banned. This could be a loophole they exploited.

Canada is a bumpy course though. Easily could be light wheel hop too.

I'm not too surprised. Were you expecting more?

Blatantly breaking the rules?!

Yes...

I think every team should have the option to not do the young drivers test, and trade that for a 3 day private test.

And they don't really even need a young driver test. I think Rosberg and Hamilton are to stay for a bit. Might be a bit harsh, but I was expecting they get excluded from the championship this year.

I wasn't expecting the tribunal to let "the punishment fit the crime", even though it should be.

Especially when the rules clearly states you can't use the current car or last year's. You can't even use current cars for any shows.
