The classic go off track turn one to keep position manoeuvre by Max there. F2 was full of it as well.

While I agree he should have given it back, Piastri also either steered into him/lost control and went deep into the corner further than a normal racing line. So curious what the stewards would think.

Edit: 5 penalty seconds for this, if you think it's penalty worthy, remains stupid. It should always be at least 10.

I agree with the stewards here that it's on Max. Though he will happily keep track position and try to make a gap. This is a classic Max move, one of his signatures tbh. Wasn't it Mexico last year as well for example? Really kind of tired of this stuff from him honestly.

EDIT: I completely agree about the penalty though and I thought they already said they were going to use 10 sec as the baseline just for the reason that 5 is so often worth it.

Did you see that replay on the international feed just now? Piastri was going to ~~divebomb~~ force contact if he didn't go off. I think both their behaviours are fair play to try in racing, but saying this is classic unsportsmanlike behaviour seems like you're being influenced too much by British commentators.

It was literally the other way around with Hamilton in Monza but somehow both situations were his fault? He is ofcourse a driver that will race on the edge of the rules so of he gets punished for something he'll force others into it.

Quite an optimistic move from Gasly

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

Well that was a quick safety car.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Well they didn't completely fuck up the national anthem so that's nice

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

So who do we think is causing the inevitable safety car/red flag? Any bets?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Verstappen and Piastri, leaving Norris to win after a luck safety car caused by a Stroll crash. (Crazy predictions cost nothing!)

Edit: Norris starting on hards makes me believe they're on Lemmy too!

Tsunoda getting a bit overconfident, maybe? Hope it won't be him, though.

Ding ding ding! (Doesn't look likes it's his fault but still involved)
