Spinning to right yourself on track in traffic is usually fine off the racing line, f1 drivers know what they are doing and can control their car and put it where they want it, it's not like they are you and might end up 3 car lengths from where they were trying to go.



Don't compare DE events to f1, please. It's ridiculous.
First off, take 5 breaths, calm down, then we can discuss this.

...you calm yet?

I was not trying to compare a normal garden variety track day to an F1 race. You made that comparison. I was asking the guy if he has any track experience, if he had, he would have understood the situation a little better.

So what you are saying is that Hamilton had every right on this planet to make that maneuver, and that the penalty was completely unwarranted?
