24 races next year is ridiculous and given **** like this there is plenty of space for sanctions.


Anyway, let the money machine roll on...

They're as bad as each other, there was a video of Armenians burning Azeri POWs to death not long ago.
 
Did something happen in post qualifying show on F1tv.
I was watching it now(delayed). About halfway it just stopped. Relaunched F1tv and there is no link anymore to the post-race show. Pre-race show, post-race press conference all still there but post-race show gone.

Not that i know off, i watched about 30mins in with no issues then had to get up and adult. Also now not showing up on my end ... bizarre
 
Tsk tsk Charles... you had one 5sec job
Nope would not have mattered. Thats why these clown these days will leave decision for after the race so they can manipulate it the way they want. When they announced it will be investigated after the race, Leclerc was still under 2sec behind so they could not say 5sec penalty. Wait till after give a penalty to please their agenda.

This one?

Maybe @Naks jumped up on stage shirtless? Who knows.
 
thank you.
What is this penalty for.
They're both for the same thing - not staying within 10 car lengths during two different occasions. The first they were lenient and reprimanded. Obviously the second one they can't be and thus the 5s penalty.
 
Hehe interesting that someone noted about one of the stewards... Some might say that's a bit of a conflict.

The whole story:


Sergio Perez has been penalised for a Safety Car infringement during today's Singapore Grand Prix but keeps the win.

Initially it was thought the Mexican was under investigation for one infringement but in fact there were two separate incidents.

The first was on Lap 10, when the Mexican admits that while the lights of the safety car were still on, he failed to keep within 10 car lengths of the safety car between the exit of turn 13 and turn 14.

When questioned, Perez said that the conditions were very wet and that it was very difficult to closely follow the safety car with little heat in his tyres and brakes.


Although the track was wet in parts, the stewards did not accept that the conditions were such as to make it impossible or dangerous for the Mexican to have maintained the required gap.

Nevertheless, they took into account the wet conditions and the difficulties highlighted by the Red Bull driver as mitigatory circumstances and accordingly determined that a reprimand ought to be imposed.

On lap 36, and still leading during the second safety car period, Perez once again failed to keep within 10 car lengths of the safety car between turn 13 and turn 14.

This occurred notwithstanding the fact that the Race Director had issued a warning to Red Bull that the Mexican was not respecting the less than 10 car lengths regulation between turns 9 and 10, the warning having been passed on to the driver.

As this was the second breach of Article 55.10 - which requires that the leader must keep within 10 car lengths of the safety car once deployed until the lights are extinguished - and followed an express warning from the Race Director, the stewards deemed to impose a 5 second time penalty on Perez.

With the Mexican having finished 7.595 seconds ahead of Charles Leclerc, this means he keeps the win.

In addition to the time penalty, Perez was handed two penalty points bringing his (12 month) total to 2.

The penalty was confirmed almost three hours after the end of the race.

Sounds like they're confused...
 
You'll be hard pressed to find a steward who doesn't have some connection to motor racing and vehicle manufacturers.
Sure but it'll ultimately be the downfall of the FIA if they don't introduce measures to ensure those making decisions are impartial. Pretty sure recusal wouldn't be too much to ask or perhaps a mechanism where decisions are done blinded by some technological method.
