MODERATORS
I sense yet another "Cut out your bullshit, Max" rule change brewing. He's clearly been fishing fos these safety car penalties when he isn't controlling the restart lately, yet when he does lead the pack, he's immediately on the radio morning if P2 so much as pulls alongside his rear axle. He's going to keep on storming past people on safety car restarts right up until he causes a massive crash, then play the victim. It's getting beyond tiresome.
On the other hand, I'm not sure what Yuki was meant to do to avoid that crash. He was at the apex and already on the curb on the inside when someone tried to cut across him.
Really terrible stewarding, all around.
Some of the Max hate stays ridiculous. Piastri literally slams the brakes to drop more than 150kmph in bad visibility and your reaction is: "why would Max do this?"
Red Bull won the steward appeal this race. I don't think Max could have avoided shooting past Oscar when this happened, and normally that shouldn't have happened, but I think in this case the wet conditions and poor visibility were a mitigating factor.
Oscar had the right to control the restart and had to do it with very little notice, if overshooting or avoiding action needs to be avoided then it should be up to the drivers behind to maintain a safe gap. Personally I think they should have just called it a racing incident and penalized no one.
He did not have the right to drive erratically. It's literally described in the ruling what the rule was he was punished under.
