F1 2024 season

Stewards explanation:

“Car 4 left the track at turn 12 and gained a lasting advantage. Breach of Article 33.3 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

“The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and in-car video evidence. Car 4 was overtaking Car 1 on the outside, but was not level with Car 1 at the apex. Therefore under the Driving Standards Guidelines, Car 4 had lost the "right" to the corner.

“Accordingly, as Car 4 left the track and returned in front of Car 1, it is deemed to be a case of leaving the track and gaining a lasting advantage. A 5 second penalty is imposed instead of the 10 second penalty recommended in the guidelines because having committed to the overtaking move on the outside the driver of Car 4 had little alternative other than to leave the track because of the proximity of Car 1 which had also left the track.”

“In view of the above, we determine that this will not count as a track limit "strike" for Car 4.

As Brundle said, give the place back, and argue that MV had pushed him off track, and also have another go.
LN not being ahead made it an obvious decision.

Also, as Brundle said, it's a weird situation when a lead driver can pretty much enforce a penalty on his pursuer.
 
Did he? I didn't see any mention of it, and I didn't see the race thanks to Ashley knocking the power out for a few hours yesterday afternoon. Only saw the first 15 minutes of the game.
Pushed Norris off the track twice and got nothing, but Russell got penalized for doing the same thing.
