1.) I agree, the 2019 season has been incredibly boring to watch except for this race and Bahrain (Bahrain was more heart breaking, but w/e).
2.) I agree with Cowtown, and literally every announcer and driver that has spoken out about the incident except a minor handful. Vettel made a mistake, that much is certain. But he literally had nowhere to go. What was the correct action, try to slow down quickly on a surface with zero traction, inevitably spin out, then take himself AND Hamilton out? No way. He recovered his incident, rejoined the track, and unfortunately experienced a second break in traction once back on the tarmac. He made nothing that resembled a two-move position defense, he was simply recovering from his mistake and rejoining the track as simply as possible. This is a through-and-through racing incident and no one is at fault. Vettel recovered as best he could and Hamilton made a 0.01s decision and went for a delicious gap (which quickly disappeared). That's called racing, ladies and gents. This is not the first bullshit call by FIA and it won't be the last.
3.) I regret not watching the race yesterday so I could have joined this conversation earlier.
4.) I am an unbiased Alonso fanboy. So, in effect, a sadboi. Though I'm looking forward to his crew hopefully winning Le Mans again this weekend and subsequently the WEC Championship. He deserves it.
In a strict, black & white scenario, Vettel is technically guilty, yes - if a computer were to make the decision. But there is always interpretation to these rules and there are always circumstances - things are almost never black and white when there are so many factors and variables like this. The interpretation of the rules on Sunday were wrong.
Edit: Found a great quote from Ricciardo: "If he pulls a little further to the left, he'll spin. When he brakes on the grass, he'll spin too. There was not much room for Lewis but still enough.I had an identical situation with Lewis in 2016 Monte Carlo. He had to go through the emergency exit and almost pushed me into the wall on his return. With me it was tighter than now with him. He didn't get a penalty. That was a good thing. It was a hard racing." Source: AMuS
