Hi...new here. I just watched the start of the Mexican race and have a question about that first turn episode of Hamilton's. He went off track, through the grass, while leading, cut the corner and came out in first place. Why was he allowed to do that without a penalty ? I know he didn't "improve" his position but he took the shortest route and got an unfair advantage. For the past few years, all I watch now, is the start because it seems that if the first 1/2 dozen cars that top qualifying make it through that first turn, then that's pretty much where they will finish, in most of the races. Very boring to sit through for 2 hours.....hell, they don't even fuel the cars anymore. If I want to see really good open wheel racing now, I watch Indy Car because at least they pass, have numerous lead changes and swap paint, now & again. Appreciate it if anyone has an explanation because i'm too lazy to download the rule book. Thanks.
