MODERATORS
I'm excited for Piastri to get the car updates next weekend. Mclaren might actually be competitive again.
I thought Austria was a bit more unique though, higher elevation and slower corners. So we'll have to see those improvements carry forward.
You're right, but I am remaining hopeful.
Can't wait to see what he can really do!
Over 1200 track limit violations throughout the race is hilarious and absurd.
Excited to see McLaren look to have taken a very solid step forward as well!
It would be nice to see the track design changed a bit to have immediate consequences if track limits are violated. In an ideal world we wouldn't have to have all these violations reviewed and penalties applied after the race. Although this is certainly better than inconsistent and ambiguous rules about track limits!
Hahaha hilarious! HAMโs not gonna be happy with this.
Totally. No one's fault but his own tho. And his teammate had a such great weekend in comparison. George made such smart decisions in the sprint, and then when it came to the race, he just kept his head down and did what needed done. Was awesome to see! Totally deserved to finish out front of Hamilton.
Here's the changes compared to the initial classification:
-Norris +1
-Alonso +1
-Sainz -2
-Russell +1
-Hamilton -1
-Stroll +1
-Gasly -1
-Zhou +2
-Ocon -2
-Bottas +1
-Piastri +1
-De Vries -2
-Magnussen +1
-Tsunoda -1
What a shit show from race control this weekend. Over 1200 potential track limit violations should give them a spark to think about the whole situation. Imagine not checking the news after the race and be surprised next racing weekend what the hell happened...
I only just stumbled on this news by fluke.
What an absolute shitshow. They'll need to gravel trap it.
Then they will have 5 safety cars and only 12 car finishes!
I donโt think Iโve ever seen this before, although last year was a shitshow too. This is wild. Either the track or the rules need to be changed.
Yess! Lando P4! I hope they keep the track the way it is next season. Makes for an interesting race.
Aston martin casually improving 2 places with both drivers
So, I'm not that mad that they're enforcing track limits. The rule is the rule. Either change the rule, or give out the penalty. What really sucks is how delayed the penalties were.
With the amount of violations I think there was just too much for the stewards. Each violation needs to be checked and validated because you know the teams sure as hell will do so.
I don't know how many people were doing the checks but let's say a single check takes at least 10 seconds of "eyes on" time. They reported about 1200 violations. That's 3,33 hours of only track limits violations. And I'm certain some of those checked took longer than 10 seconds. And that's before you get into all the other checks that needed to happen like "Unsafe release", "Forcing another driver off the track", and "not serving a time penalty correctly".
For a track limits violation it's super simple. White lines, keep at least one wheel within them. The fact that several drivers managed without a single violation means others were doing something wrong.
Agreed
Holy shit!!! The stewards went ballistic!! Also, poor poor Ocon!!
Did Ocon ever drive on track?
Damn that is just crazy
This is ridiculous. They should really try to automate the detection process of when a car is going over the line so that penaltys can be handed out swiftly
Happy for Lando but Iโm not sure how he and Perez managed to avoid any penalties fair play to them
Lando was close, he got a black and white flag with just a few laps to the end.
