Ok i really struggle to understand max minset here.

@andrewbensonf1 Change to race director's event notes. "Any driver intending to create a gap in front in order to get a clear lap should not attempt to do this around Turn 23 through to Turn Two." Any one caught doing so will be reported to stewards on grounds of "potentially dangerous" driving Its ...

A think a key factor here is that Red Bull appear to operate as a one-car team in the way that Schumacher's Ferrari team and Alonso's Renault team did. They have an appointed lead driver who receives the bulk of the engineering focus, be it physical upgrades on the car, pitstop strategy, telemetry ...

The speeds with the barriers so close, wow.

Does anyone think Red Bull can match Mercedes?
Imo down to who nails setup and gets pole

Its pure speed.

Shame we have to wait a couple of weeks.

Just use Google Chrome and install the adblocker extension.

May not help this fella. But could be useful for others annoyed with ads.

I do the same when using Chrome or Edge.

Max: I know I don't get presents from the stewards.

Haha. Comedy gigs incoming.

Said with a straight face.

The sense of entitlement from Red Bull is shocking.

Amy logical reason why Verstappen's appointment is 30mins, but Sainz only 15mins?

Only thing I can think of his was a double yellow whereas the others was single.

@ChrisMedlandF1 We've not even had a provisional starting grid published yet, which by regulation should have been at least four hours before the start of the formation lap.

Verstappen not only failed to lift he went quicker.

As in previous events he should get a grid penalty without a shadow of doubt but who knows with these stewards who happen to be the same as in Brazil.

Clarky

Yes Horner is a bit of a joke and all of my dislike of Red Bull is due to him. He continues into this weekend talking about Mercedes having a 27 kph closing speed on the straights in Brazil. He neglects to add that that is with DRS and a slipstream and that his own car had a 24 kph closing speed on...

Bottas also summoned.

Which means Gasly could start next to Hamilton on softs! This may be tricky for Lewis. He needs to not let Gasly get ahead of him otherwise he will be stuck behind for a while.
Bottas clearly eased off.

Did he?

He opened is DRS behind Alonso who did back off.

Clarky

Tbf, that double waved yellow is easy to miss. You'll not be looking there as a driver. However it is there.... And he has driven through it. Was there a mix of info between the coms, lights, steering wheel display and marshall? The light opposite the marshal post is green, so can see why confusion...

Verstappen Double-Waved Yellow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx-9rjhVBEI

After the shoddy decision made in the last race, they are surely not going to get Verstappen out of this one.

Mistake or not the double-waved yellows were there.

Supposedly, Hamilton wasn't running the fresh engine in qualy which he had in Brazil. Hamilton's arsenal is mighty!

Engine from Turley I believe.

Saving his Brazil engine for Jeddah.

Max fails to slow for double yellows.

Didn't lift what so ever, clear double waved yellow on the left.

Like many, I also believe that no penalty will be given, cause...reasons?! They will find something to get away on technicality, like marshal waved the flag by mistake, it was not intended, it did not show in the FIA control monitor, etc... If that happens and Max wins from P2 then its not unreason...

Max fails to slow for double yellows.
Looks like a foregone conclusion.
Do light panels take precedent over flags, or vice versa? Because it looks like panels on the left right are showing green.

Flags over everything.

Two screws loose... for a moment I thought Toto was talking about me. 8) I think repairing the damage was one thing, but it is the responsibility of the team to make sure the car conforms to the requirements at all times.

Does anyone have a link to the full decision?
