Has Rat boy Neville commented on the debacle yet? Cünts shoving his pointy nose into everything else.

We’re better without. He’s gonna go full Ian Brown soon with conspiracy stuff at some stage.

 

[ancoats]

no. Usually the minimum is a time penalty.

5 second penalty added to your time ? clearly the rules are set in stone and FIA have to enforce them
they do it all the time after the race so i don't see the problem doing now

All done while drinking his champagne I am sure.

I reckon they will give him 5 secs for the overtake under sc and bottle masi fucking up

This. Only way they can save face now.

And also is it really that big of a deal if Verstappens car went marginally ahead for the briefest moment when he got back into line once the green flag was shown? Hamilton was practically stopped at points around the hotel section.

Common sense would say it's not a big deal, but these minor technical infringements are usually the ones that get punished fairly consistently. It was like Hamilton's wing being 0.2mm too short after Brazil qualifying.

I imagine it's why Mercedes bothered to bring it up.

Didn't see the race, only followed the final couple of laps and the result. I've got huge respect for Hamilton, but I'm not really all that invested in F1, truth be told.
I don't really understand the technicality involving lapped cars here. Could somebody who genuinely has no axe to grind — somebody who is neither a Hamilton supporter nor a Verstappen supporter — give me a clear-eyed assessment of whether the FIA have clearly broken rules of practice that have been observed in the past?

No one is actually debating the facts so a Hamilton or Verstappen supporter can tell you them.

There is a rule that the safety car can only go off the lap after everyone is unlapped and all 20 cars in in order.

The FIA restarted the race with 1 lap to go without everyone unlapped.

If they'd followed the rules, the race finishes under safety car and Lewis Hamilton wins.

 

[hello]

This. Only way they can save face now.

Certainly looks like their way out to save face

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Max had no reason to be anywhere near alongside Lewis there, once again he always has to push too far.

As Rosberg quite rightly highlighted, Verstappen was trying to let Hamilton know he was there and knew the left side of the track coming up would not help Lewis in the tow.

Especially so, as there was no DRS for two laps anyhow.

Absolutely crooked. The guys who drive these rockets are mental gymnasts, they process information at speeds mere mortals cannot comprehend.

Same as last week on the brake check, Verstappen is doing it right at the moment he knew the line was coming up for DRS.

Nobody should underestimate the multiple processing and calculating which is done by people who drive 180mph into a blind corner in the wet.

 

[give it to gordon]

5 second penalty added to your time ? clearly the rules are set in stone and FIA have to enforce them

Would that give it to Hamilton ?

This. Only way they can save face now.

spot on
its the only way FIA come out of this clean and any wrong doing
standard rule punishment for heading in front under a safety car and under double yellow flags
