La decisione presa dai commissari di gara durante il Gran Premio del Canada, ovvero penalizzare di cinque secondi Sebastian Vettel per come è rientrato in pista dopo aver tagliato involontariamente una chicane, non è andata giù non solo al diretto interessato, ma a tanti illustri ex piloti di F1 che hanno espresso su Twitter il loro disappunto.
Di seguito la carrellata di cinquettii contro la sanzione inflitta al pilota della Ferrari, che si è visto così sfumare una vittoria tanto sudata quanto meritata, ma che – utilizzando le sue stesse parole via radio – “gli è stata scippata”. Diversi ex-piloti menzionano il duello di Digione tra Gilles Villeneuve e René Arnoux, Mario Andretti ha commentato così la penalità: “Ritengo che il ruolo dei commissari sia penalizzare manovre pericolose e volontarie, non errori che scaturiscono dal gareggiare al limite. Quanto avvenuto in Canada non è accettabile al massimo livello del nostro grande sport”.
@F1 that is the worst decision you have ever made.
It’s times like these we miss Charlie Whiting in F1. 🙏— Casey Stoner (@Official_CS27) June 10, 2019
I think the function of the stewards is to penalize flagrantly unsafe moves not honest mistakes as result of hard racing. What happened at #CanadaGp is not acceptable at this level of our great sport. @F1

my observation on Vettel rejoining: his helmet moved to look into mirror only after steering correction! that he slid that far is laws of physics. No space for Lewis is name of game with street tracks. What happened to #LetThemRace ? Was it sketchy? yes! a penalty? not in my view

Any of the stewards ever raced at the front in F1? Didn’t watch the race.. have now seen the “incident”.
Mental penalty. 🥴🧐— Mark Webber (@AussieGrit) June 9, 2019
So close. Closed it well by Vettel, to me that’s racing. No penalty. End of message. #CanadianGP pic.twitter.com/ahR81Bcy6u
