BS penalty for Hamilton
100%. Epitome of racing incident. Perez could barely keep it on the track. That was bs.
Fully deserved imo
5sec definitely seems excessive.
Perez was already nursing a problem, if anyone was driving dangerously it was him.
Hmm, I dunno… I can see it being ruled a racing incident because the action wasn’t that bad. But he did understeer into an opponent, damaging his car, and ruining his race.
It seems like they judged the outcome more so than the action itself.
Agreed - WTF was that about - nothing happened to any of the cars, it was racing.
Ohhh, thanks 👍 That changes things a bit 🙂
5 Seconds is a bit of a joke considering they were alongside in the corner and the track conditions 🙄
Thrilled for gasly
He’s had a lot of bad luck this season, but i feel his drives have gone under the radar a bit. He’s in a new team and has been more or less on the same racepace as Ocon from the get-go. Very interested to see how the fight between the two develops.
Shouldn’t he get a penalty for unsafe release? He almost crashed into Stroll. Why was there no mention of this from race control?
Gasly and Leclerc both looked like they should have gotten unsafe release penalties. I guess the stewards decided to be lenient considering the chaos in the pits.
I guess so, but I can’t agree with that decision. We have multiple formation laps because otherwise there could be dangerous situations. Sargent get’s a penalty for speeding in the pit lane, a rule that exists to prevent dangerous situations. But when there are actual dangerous situations, they chose to do nothing? A
Ricciardo in the points 🤯🤯
Edit: no more :(
Still not too bad of a drive! He definitely had more pace than Yuki.
Checo floundering and Danny Ric in the points in an Alpha Tauri. I think we all know what thoughts are going through Helmut’s head right now.
At least perez managed to not get overtaken by ric
Finished way ahead of Tsunoda and (by luck) ahead of Perez, that looks good for him
Rare mistake by Alonso…
While we wait, thought I’d share this from the stream:
World focking champion
That’s awesome - he would fook smash his way through 😁
Great strategy from McLaren. Interested to see how things work out with no DRS for Max.
Gasly got a huge jump. Finally a W for Alpine. Sainz got shafted unfortunately.
Why was that great strategy? It was the only thing they could do?
They could have chosen to stay out the first lap. But yeah I guess that wasn’t really a smart option.
And now the tables have turned between Oscar and Max thanks to the safety car!
We’re gonna be here for a while lol
There’s possibly not enough time to run the session. There’s only an hour without rain forecast and based on Sprint Qualifying it’ll take half an hour once the rain stops to get started.
That wasnt a 5s penalty lol
Please, please no repeat of 2021.
The radar they showed don’t give me much hope they will start anytime soon…
Hamilton knocked a lump out of the Red Bull. How you can claim a penalty isn’t deserved is beyond me.
I just watched the race and I didn’t notice the hole until I saw a post on Reddit, I don’t think it was obvious during the race that there was that much damage.
Safety car, damn it Fernando
35 min delay
If this is the threshold for the amount of spray to race then we’ll never see a full wet race again.
Most bullshit penalty I’ve seen in a long time.
