I suppose we don’t criticise the inconsistency in NFL punishments then? You know, since the approach was agreed by the players and teams?
NFL penalties are so wildly ridiculous it’s not at all comparableF1 2022 Season

NFL penalties are so wildly ridiculous it’s not at all comparableNot me, I would rather see what is posted.
So because someone has a different opinion to you, you put them on ignore? You Merc fans are unreal.
I remember when there wasn't this bitterness between fans of different teams of this sport, god I wish those days were back now. Between here and reddit it's just a cesspool, nowhere to just discuss F1 without it turning in to the childish crap that's goes on here

This is actually a good point, it seems kind of unfair that a team has to use so much of its budget after a massive crash like those that costs millions doesn't it? And I'm saying this as a fan of neither team, but surely a big crash like that, that was clearly caused by another driver/team, shouldn't then have to come out of the aggreived teams budget?
I'm not saying the other team should pay for it either though, that's a bit much, but it just seems a bit unfair to me.
Seems a bit sensitive. Has me on ignore as well. I didn't remember talking to them so I had a look and can't see any good reason. Ironically, I only realised when I tried to give them advice on how to block someone who had their settings on private and they asked about it again after I'd replied a couple of times.
1,8m over 145m isn't 20%.
Also, if you are talking about just development, again, it has nothing to do with Hamilton this season since he has Ferrari guys and his teammate between him and Redbull which was what started this discussion initially few posts back.
Are you sure about that?
So are F1 penalties though. That’s the point.
Development budgets are about circa 10m. You were saying that 1.8m isn't that much in the context of an entire budget, in the context of development it's a significant part of the budget.
Except it wasn't 1,8m. It was less than 400k.
You're tripping yourself up on your own quoted numbers. If you're going back to the original, after the calamitous calculations from the RB accounts, figures net of the tax rebate then the penalty is fair in my opinion. If a teams car is 1kg under the weight for a race then it's disqualified. If we're running a cost cap, then we need the same discipline. Not a sliding scale of based on the overspend, and I believe the penalty that was awarded was in line with what was agreed. I have no complaints.
What surprised me more wasn't the value that they went over by, it was the fact it was thirteen separate issues which constituted the breach. Issues which are pretty basic business as usual things like staff pay.
Looks like we could have 6 cars with potential for pole, first time in a long time.
Perez looks slow as feck.
Epic stuff really. What a Q2.
Great for Bottas, shame his engine will inevitably explode tomorrow.

Gaps are invisible, 5th place just 0,063 seconds behind, wasn't it?
Obviously all teams would have extra expenses but only 1 was over the limit...
Why are they all so close today ? RBR turned down the engines ?
Wonder if we'll see some towing between the top three teams, or a straight out fight for all 6.
Quite likely. Ferrari definitely have.
Article explains (basically the altitude is having an effect on the turbos)
F1, Ferrari: is high altitude and thin air an opportunity or a disadvantage? | 2022 Mexican GP

just shows how much they were reliant on that 10% wind tunnel time. as soon as they lost that they were catapulted back into the pack.
It seems the thinner air is making the aerodynamics less effective, and cars/drivers with better mechanic grip/ability to drive smoothly are coming out on top.
This looks like fun track being so slippery, it could be interesting tomorrow and I reckon we'll see few accidents.
Mighty lap, knew to stick with Max for pole today.
Verstappen is incredible. Mercedes again quicker than Ferraris, I reckon the difference during the race will be even bigger.
Strategic throwing of pole by Merc? apparently you want to be 3rd here off the grid

I forgot about that. This is one track where being on pole isnt an advantage.
Hamilton incredibly quick considering his car was broken.
Also Russel was almost in pole if not for that mistake. At least this way he can kick Max out of the race.

You just know George is going to take Lewis and Max out in turn 1 and ruin their chances of second in the constructors.

Not at all. Just posted at a bad time and took it out on @phelans shorts. Not really Merc fan either. Thats just too easy a sterotype. If i was i wouldnt have praised max's driving this season or be so disappointed in ferrari for not bringing a challenge to max. Just want some integrity back in the sport. It seems to be going down the wrong route.So because someone has a different opinion to you, you put them on ignore? You Merc fans are unreal.

red bull were caught in the most serious of sporting breaches since lance armstrong and were punished by the fia a couple of days ago. they lost 10% performance as the fia decided that’s how much their cheating gained them, and now they’re just as fast as everyone else.
Not the most exciting of tracks, but I love the stadium feel and loud crowd that Mexico City brings to the table. I hope they manage to keep their spot in the future.
The start last year, could get messy.
Ok we can agree on all that. I'm just sick of the toxicity on here to be honest, from both sets of fans, it's getting old real quick. Anyway apologies for singling you out mate.
Is this a piss take?
once perez goes it’ll be off the calendar I suspect
How dare you. Rimaldo has never made a sarcastic post in his entire posting career
It’s incredible how much you’re arguing that them going over the budget doesn’t matter when you don’t even know basic facts about the issue

Sorry but that doesn't make sense talking account of your initial post.
