What were you expecting? Instant disqualification?

An actual disincentive.

An actual disincentive.

What would that entail?

 

[Speedster]

Constructors points and and winnings deductions for all years in question

What's the difference between a fine and a deduction in winnings?

 

[quovadis]

What would that entail?

A financial penalty way excess of the ridiculous +-3x multiplier and a penalty which applies to the actual season the transgression relates to.

Perhaps $7m and 7 points would've been better?

Would have made no difference. Applying a penalty retroactively might work, but not in the case of last year where Red Bull were so far ahead of Ferrari.

I don't think there's a better solution than the one they've chosen, as much as it does feel fairly insignificant.

 

[quovadis]

Perhaps $7m and 7 points would've been better?

Not a big enough disincentive imho. The precedent sets a clear guideline for manipulation in the future.

 

[Enzo Matrix]

The regs and penalties will need a bit of an update. This is bs

 

[Enzo Matrix]

Oh, and eat less

Does the fine come out of this year's cost cap?

And 10% aero penalty almost makes up for having an Adrian Newey... almost.

No it doesn't come out of any annual cap.

As a Red Bull fan, I must step back and look at this as if it was Merc in the wrong.

Therefore, I feel the fine should've come out of a budget cap allowance because paying the 7 bar will be super easy with Sponsors income. I feel the fine should be double the percentage of their overspend, and that double percentage applied as a future cost cap reduction.

The wind tunnel reduction is harsh enough, considering they were only going to get 70% of the time as World Champions.

Now to let this run its course on the internet and then hopefully move on with closure from Brazil onwards.

What time is the race. SuperSport's schedule looks wrong ... 1.5 hours set aside for race?

Looks to be another Pirelli 2023 tyre test for FP2's 90min

Correct. Hard compounds were tested at COTA. Soft compounds this week.

How do you get those times? Race time is an hour before quali time when I look.

That's interesting. App gives different times depending on selection of "my time" and "track time".

Slap on the wrist for Red Bull

I deliberately didn't check/post my time zone because we have daylight saving time ends on Sunday, I've just thought to check and Mexico does as well. As SA doesn't have a clock change it makes both appear to be the same time.

Daylight Saving Time 2023 in Mexico

When do the clocks spring forward or fall back in Mexico? Daylight Saving Time for 2023 and other years.

Slap on the wrist for Red Bull

FIA only do wrist slaps.

 

[caroper]

FIA only do wrist slaps.

that because they are a bunch of W******* who think their wrist is the main tool.

 

[caroper]

For the past two years of failure the FIA should be made to face charges of "Bringing the Sport into Disrepute", as they frequently like to accuse the drivers for less.
