so why hasn’t this started?
its dry

Not ensure the exact reason, but it’s another thing I can add to the “blame MBS” list right?

Good_Year

And still delayed. They were shuffling cars in the pit lane?

Huh if only there was 5.5km circuit to do this!

Good_Year

This further delay is to try and get dry running. Damn you Ferrari!

Are these cars using Windows 95?

No because that worked.

Must be Vista.

Good_Year

That gap shouldn’t have been that close it won’t make a change in position but it should be a 5 second penalty for gaining under yellows.

Good_Year

Is that what the kids would call “wheel don’t lie”

Good_Year

That first corner could have been nasty, barges on a formula ford track.

Good_Year

I suspect race control told everyone they were going to g to do the lapped cars and finish the safety car before someone came running in reminding them of the correct procedure. I would like to know exactly when the lapped cars were released. But the tractor was cleared quickly though. Anyway MBS fa...

Good_Year

I think it would be reasonable if the penalties were for crossing the inside line on exit, be interesting if that was in the notes. But they said speeding.

I haven’t worked out how to blame this on MBS but get rid of him!

The last corner as seen last night:

Pffft call that a pothole?

Good_Year

So Hadjar keeps his podium, Perez loses his point meaning Alonso gets a point. Alpine have challenged the results due to the pit stop penalties. Oh and also, Red Bull apparently have the best engine under these regulations: https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/f1-engine-upgrades-first-2026-fia-decisi...

Good_Year

From the cool down room, it seems they took the pit in sharper to gain time.

There is precedent for a penalty, Vettel Singapore 2009. That’s because he cut over an inside line to get a shorter run and quicker time. Monaco the pit line is wide entry and narrows so someone at the FIA screwed up

Hadjar ahead of Russell and both McLaren's. 3 tenths behind Verstappen. Good performance or indication of the strength of the Red Bull?

The ford engine is the 2nd strongest after Mercedes, they just need to find the right aero package

Good_Year

Hopefully they bring in a maximum lap time, to stop the farce of last years slow driving

Good_Year

The Ferrari Start advantage has been completely nullified now, surely it's time we can get rid of the "
"pre-start procedure" procedure.

Ok maybe the next race isn't the best place for that...

Here is the Verstappen Lawson video.

We have the classic Verstappen run the other car and himself off the road.

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/verstappen-hit-with-penalty-for-pit-exit-breach-during-miami-grand-prix.y0KVGAbtL5liHWc02fZMB So basically a bogus penalty. Not sure if he would have gotten that penalty if he had another nationality. Yes only max would ever get a penalty like this… Except

Good_Year

Dont see how those moves between Colapinto vs. Hamilton and Lawson vs. Verstappen are acceptable racing moves but what ever I didn't see what happened between Verstappen and Lawson. Classic max dive bomb, went off track and another driver too, but Lawson had to give up the space before the twisty s...

Bottas gets a penalty.

Max: … … ….

Lawson slowed down to let Verstappen pass him, it must be nice having 3 teammates.

So he passed Verstappen off track, but he was only off track because terrorwheel max forced him off the track

Good_Year

Ferrari actually played a blinder this race keeping Hamilton out forcing the stewards to take action (after 20 plus laps and a safety car what a joke!)

I firmly believe that they were hoping the Ferrari would retire so they could add a penalty for next race.

Good_Year

10 seconds was excessive. Verstappen barged into the ferrari, deliberately went off track and didn't surrender the position immediately, no penalty. this is a joke of a sport. Lap 1 incidents are justified when avoiding a collision or if there has been contact, what we saw was at least 2 drivers str...

Good_Year

I wonder if this is to further placate a star driver or the first signs of them clearing house from that era.

Good_Year

Thoughts. 1) if the extreme wet is so bad, scrap it and make the intermediate the extreme wet and make a new in-between tyre. Having a lesser wet window is better for me rather than the farce of having an unusable tyre 2) 10 seconds I thought was harsh, I would argue that the late call of safety car...

Good_Year

Yes I totally agree, i don't know when it became common place to simply hand out the 5 second penalty instead of telling the driver to swap positions which is much much more palettable as a viewer, it used to be such that a driver would have to return the position even if the other driver had falle...

Good_Year

This is ridiculous now, they’ve enabled this bad driving behaviour it should be a stop and go at this point.

I suppose toto is in an no win situation, either he celebrates and gives Fred more motivation for Lewis for next season or he doesn’t and get questions

Good_Year

I’ve seen that too, believed to be McLaren & Mercedes after Redbull complained about flexi wings( oh the irony ) No the rumour my friend has heard is that it was taken off several races ago, which happens to coincide with the dib in form. My friend is a bit of a conspiracy nut so take with a pinch ...

Good_Year

I don’t understand why mclaren were so pre-occupied with Hamilton, when they pitted lando they still had 26 seconds lead over Hamilton.

When Oscar came in they still had 5 seconds over Hamilton from Norris.

McLaren panicked, or worse they didn’t trust lando to make a clean overtake

BTW, Alonso did let Stroll get through for 10th place.
Why? What for?

A literal point on the day and a figurative point for when fernando needs something.

Seriously though what is with Norris, token effort Vs Max for the lead, and F1 online defence Vs Hamilton.

Max drove over the inside of the la source curb and didn’t have to correct his steering. What the hell?

Good_Year

Did max have even a sniff of oversteer in that entire sprint?

FIA says 1200 reports of cars leaving the track ..they have more to check Have advised adding Gravel for Turn 10 for future races

1200!

So every lap there was 16.9 (ok let’s say 16 as a lower value) infringements. 16! Every lap!

Different speeds, different situations, different types of corners, Hamilton was trying to pass Alonso, Verstappen was trying to pass Hamilton, at least both times Hamilton was attempting to stay on the track as was Alonso, that had no concern for Verstappen like in Brazil last year, it didn't pass...

Good_Year

Silverstone was the turning point for Lewis. Granted after that he had to yield in the last few races due to the points situation. This analysis is spot on, Max throws it up the inside with too much speed. Lewis these days is simply giving Max the same treatment back (uncompromising) Good on him ht...
