01 - China GP (Shanghai) - Penalties

BlackFox - Drivethru (Collision against Alaster at start) 2 penalty points.

Alex Hill - Stop&Go (Lap 2 last turn collision against Lau. Caused DNF) 3 penalty points

Deadfish - Stop&Go (Lap 14 T1 Collision against Cueball, causing front wing loss) 3 penalty points

So do I serve the stop and go next race or is it added to my race result? Thanks.

added to results.

Obviously I respect the decision, but that's a harsh penalty isn't it? It seemed like racing incident.

From what I saw, Alex didn't really do anything wrong. He went a little wide, but because they were side-by-side going into the corner, from what I understand, the driver who wants to overtake around the outside has to either give room to the car on the inside or yield (see Hamilton vs Rosberg or Vettel vs Ricciardo in Bahrain 2014, where Rosberg and Ricciardo went wide to avoid a collision, and also see Raikkonen vs Hamilton, Japan 2012 where Raikkonen - the driver on the outside - avoided a collision). It's not like Alex dived down the inside and ran into the side of lau like Grosjean vs Webber, Japan 2012. Further, the mod bug caused lau's car to go flying in the air, not Alex's driving. And finally, Alex didn't press lau's escape key, so how can Alex be blamed for his DNF?

It's definitely not lau's fault, but I don't think it's Alex's either.

Actually after watching the replay again, it looked identical to Hamilton vs Massa in India 2011...
