Are we checking? This is a place to take a p*ss out of motorsports.
F1 is not the only motorsport in the world, so go ahead and post your shitposts about WEC or MotoGP or IndyCar or ralley or Polish Speedway or whatever. Even Formula E, I guess. It needs some love, too.
By the way, F2 > F1.
Rules? What rules? Stop inventing. Just don't be a douche. Lemmy.world's sporting conduct applies.

Please watch and point out where the bollard could even have touched the floor when it was in fact flung up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORpCycDf-7Y
Again, I'm terribly sorry for posting that link. I didn't mean to offend anyone, nor did I realize the burden of proof was on me.
I suppose Max could've been lying, or the team lied to him, or the Race Just made the entire thing up.
If I had to guess I'd say it wasn't the impact with the bollard itself that caused the damage, but you seem to be well versed in these things so I'll trust your judgement.
I'm not offended. Why would I be? I'm just pointing out that the bollard wasn't lodged between the car floor and the track surface at all. Wing damage: Maybe (but the team saw nothing on telemetry and Max later said to the press that the car didn't feel any different and apparently the lap times were not much different). Floor damage from the bollard: No way.
There has been some confusion about the floor damage, apparently even max was confused by Red Bull says there was floor damage.
