So.. either McLaren thinks the hards are really bad and don't want to switch Oscar onto them.. or they want to keep Oscar in that track position to block Max

Let's go!.. Well..soon

My expectations are on the floor in terms of entertainment on this track so as long as I get some action I'll be content. Not holding my breath though. We might well get some chaos into turn one lap one, but not expecting a glowing evening of racing.

And another 10 for overtaking and gaining advantage. Howcome now it's 10 seconds, and not last week?

I don't think a penalty is undeserved, but I thought the first 10 seconds were 2 times 5 combined for both incidents or something. It seems very excessive at this point. They essentially killed the most interesting part of the race with this.

Because VER doesn't learn otherwise.

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Learn what? He's not a robot, he does make mistakes sometimes. The real problem is the rules the FIA set up that leads to these kind of incidents. And they're being insanely inconsistent when punishing drivers. Also, Lando would've just taken back the position within a few laps anyway.

I think it should have been 5 seconds for the first incident and 10 for the second.

Cant believe this reasonable opinion has been downvoted so much

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Tsunoda trying to impress Red Bull:

Norris taking a leaf out of the Verstappen playbook. I can see Ferrari sneaking the constructors championship because max and Lando keep fighting each other

If I were Lawson I'd be scared for my life with Perez behind

Edit: Looks like some sidepod damage on Perez' car

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Perez just can't catch a break, fired after this race?

Gnarly. Seems like both are ok thankfully.

Yet another incident for Williams. Team desperately needs a break πŸ™πŸ™

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Well Lawson could get a penalty for that as well, right?

[–] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Lawson about to steal fastest lap from Norris lmao

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That was very China ~~2017~~ 2016 between gasly, albon and tsunoda

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

10 seconds penalty? That seems kinda inconsistent compared to last race.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Well he run Lando off into a zone with very little room towards the wall
