Is Latifi crashing a drinking game yet?

*Stroll clearly an idiot too

 

[CTBP]

Stroll the droll.

That look on Vettel's face is one of "what the **** am I doing at this **** show outfit"

 

[RazedInBlack]

Not completely Latifi's fault though.

 

[2026]

They need to do something about these "slow laps" overall - they are always so dangerous, it's only a matter of time before something more serious happens.

 

[Goosfrabba]

Extremely happy with the improved McLaren pace. Would still need weather and safety car shenanigans to win a race but solid points and even podium is possible

 

[Hamster]

Wow, so Vettel and Stroll need special permission to start the race since neither has put in a qualifying lap?

EDIT: ok so only Stroll then

 

[JerryMungo]

Fire Stroll. That was his ego right there.

 

[acidrain]

Poor williams. Stroll taking out car 1 and car 2 dying on track.

About time!


FIA take aim at Verstappen race restart tactic: https://racingnews365.com/fia-take-aim-at-verstappen-race-restart-tactic

"... What does the rule change state?
An addendum to the notes for the Melbourne weekend states: "In order to avoid the likelihood of accidents before the Safety Car returns to the pits, from the point at which the lights on the car are turned out drivers must proceed at a pace which involves no erratic acceleration or braking nor any manoeuvre which is likely to endanger other drivers or impede the restart."

While published in the event notes for Melbourne, the addendum references Article 55.14 of the FIA Sporting Regulations. The latest published version of the Sporting Regulations (dated 15/03/2022) doesn't include this rule, meaning an updated version of the rules is likely to be published imminently.

A diagram has also been included, showing what is and isn't permitted during a race restart. The diagram shows that following drivers are not allowed to come further forward than in line with the most rearward part of the car in front.... "

So let's say Perez gets a 5 place grid penalty for his yellow flag infringement, he'll still be ahead of Sainz.

Has this track changed much in the last 5 years? I don't recall it being so treacherous. It's a bit of a cluster f uck.

Oh noooo Carlos is behind slow Mercs.. can't believe he is behind the underdogs

 

[Tinuva]

Yeah he was unlucky with a red flag on his flying lap in fp3

 

[JerryMungo]

Sorry for Carlos but how's Hamilton getting up there in that donkey?

A bit lucky with Alonso crashing, Bottas not making it into Q3, & Carlos with that mistake on his last run, otherwise Hamilton would have been P8.

Alonso's lap would have been top 3, for sure:
