This is now setting a bad precedent, if teams are not happy with a decision then complain until you get the decision you want.
F1 2020 Season

Fair enough, but FFS why did they not review the camera yesterday, shocked from the FIA and Stewards to not look at EVERYTHING before giving a decision.
Exactly.
Really surprised that they’ve chosen not to. Leclerc in particular makes no sense because he posted the black square on ig then talks about not believing in gestures on twitter regarding the knee.
Not a good look tbf.
The 360 degree camera footage isn't available immediately to the stewards.
Apparently they will be the only ones not, should be a personal choice.
Leaving it to the last minute, just like complaining about mercs steering wheel. Seems to me that Red Bull are turning up the gamesmanship on Lewis. It could unsettle him but it could light a fire up his arse.
Make no mistake, the formal protest on the DAS system was as much about getting the FIA to clarify what is permissible for their own purposes, not about getting any action on Mercedes.
Don't think Lewis will have a problem in passing what's in front of him, qualifying and FP would suggest that Mercedes are faster.
There could be fireworks at the first corner.

I think I’ve seen Lando isn’t doing it either.
Having all drivers do it would show a powerful message. Then refusing to do it isn’t a good look. It would show solidarity. Can you imagine the image sent around the world of all drives in a line with just Lewis or maybe a few others kneeing while others stand. This will be the talking point not the race.
As @SilentWitness points out Leclrec has already been doing “gestures” on social for BLM. This feels like a Ferrari asking him not to do it to me.
I though the same also.
I agree it would send out the wrong message, but it looks like that will happen and those that don't, will get hammered on Social media.
Red Bull are great fun aren’t they.
If you mean Horner is a cock , them yes great fun
All 20 driver wearing End Racism T Shirts.
Some taking the knee , some not.
I don't see a problem with this, they are ding what they thing is right for them and that decision should be respected.

Makes a more interesting race, never change Red Bull.If you mean Horner is a cock , them yes great fun
cant argue with that
They must turn up for mics on these interviews or find a space with little noise. With so much noice in the back and talking behind masks is making hard to hear.
Exactly
Impossible at a race circuit, turning up the mics will not make a difference.
Austrian GP Race 1 2020
So here we are Start of the 2020 Season.
Don’t mind Hamilton getting a penalty as it will only make things more interesting. Hoping McLaren get it right and finish as high as possible. The thing I’ve missed though is Martin’s grid walk. Him being short and abrupt with some of the worlds biggest stars never gets old.
Good clean start.
Great start by Norris

I know it's not done for aesthetics but I love the all black Mercedes cars. They look intimidating for other drivers if you ask me, especially knowing that Lewis is in one.
Bottas already 2+ seconds ahead !!
Easy for Hamilton, no wonder Red Bull are trying to do anything they can.
Max is about to loose his shit
Well that's the race basically done then.
Max is not looking good.
That Honda sounds fecked.
Bottas with 7 second lead now.
Its a fight between the Mercs now.
Max's car sounded dreadful

Surely that’s a retirement, sounds unhealthy.
Max's race is done, even if he does come out .
EDIT :- He is done

It was always going to be a Mercedes 1 and 2, decent scrap for the rest of the points though.
Love it, feck red bull.
Verstappen always seems to get fecked
Gutted for Max.
Must be absolutely fuming. Deserves better than that.

Probably but Max being on the alternative strategy at least created some doubt for a while. Does make it likely someone gets their first podium though.
Ricciardo with the second retirement and Stroll has an engine issue. F2 featured quite a few mechanical issues as well.
My entire fantasy has fallen apart
Got a feel of a late 90s race with the retirements and reliability issues.
The amount of reliability improvement over the past 2 decades has been incredible
