Subscriber nudge+ Posted October 26, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 26, 2019 Get in, Max! Great lap. Honestly didn't expect that as I expected Ferrari's first sector advantage to be much larger; but it seems RB nailed their setup. Albon splitting up the two Mercedes is good as well + both Toro Rossos in Top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted October 26, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 26, 2019 Max might still be penalised for failing to slow down under the yellow flag Although this is a bit curious at the moment as it seems there was no double yellow shown for the drivers and there wasn't one on Max's steering wheel display or on the digital board. Hope he keeps the pole but one's again the race control is caught napping here. Bottas has been released from the medical centre and is alright, fortunately. That safety barrier he hit didn't really look safe, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 26, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 26, 2019 If needs be then disqualify Max's second lap but hes still on pole from the first. Stripping him of pole in any way would be daft as he already had it before the yellow flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know; I'm not a fan of penalties in general but I think a grid penalty for blatantly disregarding safety by ignoring yellow flags and failing to slow down would be reasonable if true. However looking at the telemetry it seems that he lifted so I'm not sure why there's an investigation. Although I suspect it's because of his silly comments on the post-qualifying press conference where he admitted he saw Bottas' crash and didn't really back off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ Posted October 26, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 26, 2019 Just now, Tommy said: All things considered, a justified penalty for Max. This. I am a Max fan and hoped he would keep his pole but I don't see how anyone can argue against a penalty. "Yellow flag = slowing down" is universal in all racing series and failure to do so is rightfully penalised - especially after cynically admitting to it in a press conference. Somehow I can't shake the feeling that he wanted a penalty for himself though What annoys me though is inconsistent and often straightout incompetent race control/stewards. There should have been an immediate double yellow or even a red flag after the Bottas crash; not a bunch of mixed signals and delayed decisions. Can't help but dislike Masi and his team. I wish Charlie was still here Without him race control looks lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
