ok guys, while giving webber a lift shouldnt have been penalized, later i saw this video and the way webber enters to the track and runs on the left side of the ferrari, was very dangerous and the two mercedes did pass really close to him, they didnt expect a stopped car on the other side of the turn, this should have been done on the run off part of the track

Well, shouldn't the penalty be on Alonso for stopping on track? Alonso didn't have to stop where he did.

Jesus, that's the racing line.

Even thought it was the cool down lap, stopping there was stupid - especially on a street circuit.

Yea, I guess. I still don't think it would matter as Vettel is as good as gold in Korea, Japan, and India.

Well, both did get penalized. Alonso for stopping at a dangerous spot, Webber for entering the racing surface without approval from the marshals. Both got a reprimand, with the 10-spot penalty for Webber because this is his third (the previous two were for driving infractions, contact and ignoring a yellow flag).

Ah, that's fair. And I shouldn't have said penalty earlier. This was Webber's third reprimand so that's where the penalty comes from.
