As nothing else has been posted, I figured I'd open this up to discussion.

A brilliant race, I thought. Lots of fantastic battles. An intelligent strategy from Ferrari. Not too chaotic or arbitrary. Albon fighting on 40-lap old tires for a huge P7.

How'd everyone else enjoy it?

My understanding is that he slowed down on the race track leading up to pit entry so that McLaren could double-stack him after Piastri. It's against the rules to deliberately go slow and impede like that.

@WatTyler makes sense, but its sad that it wasn’t covered in the broadcast

They did discuss it on the international (Sky) broadcast.

@WatTyler was unfortunately listening to the Dutch one

Ted whinged about the nondescript nature of the penalty so much that someone from the FIA got in touch to tell them what it was for.

They discussed it on the F1TV broadcast as well.

Interesting that Nando didn't get a penalty for doing it worse at Monaco last year

I don't remember Alonso driving overtly slowly under a safety car which led to an enormous gap between him and car ahead

Loved the way the penalty was phrased: "Unsportsmanlike behavior". Aka being like a total dick you know.
