Slap on the wrist, its a minor infringement.

Ah, ok, cheers. They were going on about deleting a lap time and had my wife yammering at me, so couldn't hear exactly what was going on.
Yeah it was for Q1 and Q2 I think. Not a big deal.
Hamilton to report to stewards
Hmmm...maybe pole position isn't done and dusted yet?
Lewis Hamilton is one of four drivers to be summoned to the stewards for not returning to the track in the correct manner at Turn Two during Q1.
'Alleged failure to follow the Race Directors’ Instruction (item 22.1 a) in turn 2 at 15:04:43, alleged breach of Article 12.1.1.(i) of the FIA International Sporting Code.'
Magnussen, Grosjean and Latifi are the others.

Albon must know a dark secret about Horner. So odd how they ve defended him and basically committed to keeping him in the seat for next season.
You seem personally offended.
Ridiculous. You're going to be embarrassed by this post when you sober up.

You got me. How do I go on.
Are you saying this based on usual practice in F1 or based on how Red Bull treated Gasly? Cause I feel it isn't all that common to swap drivers mid-season for this kind of performance (Albon isn't terrible, just a bit disappointing); but that Red Bull might have set a pretty harsh standard for themselves. Maybe Red Bull have toned that down a little? They got a lot of criticism over Gasly's demotion, plus Gasly is showing this year that he's better than he seemed, suggesting that maybe he should have received more (mental) support and time.
Gasly was way worse than Albon in that 2nd seat performance wise. Unless its great talent like Ricciardo level, they would all pale in comparison to Max.
No further action against Hamilton - or the three other drivers summoned after qualifying - for the Turn Two incidents in Q1
Gasly has a 2nd and 1st place to his name in a Toro Rosso though. Albon has been average throughout his F1 career.
Albon also has had way more time and leeway than Gasly did
Lewis should ask Putin for a state dinner to mark the occasion if he wins the race.
I dont think he would mind, HAAS is not a dreadful car, first season in F1 will be a learning curve for him, but I do agree Alfa would be better choice.
Lewis starts on softs, Max and Bottas on the mediums, both will get the slip stream, I expect Max to be in front pretty quickly.
Should be a good race.

FIA bans T-shirts from podium ceremonies
And some other early news concerning the post-race procedure, with the FIA now banning drivers from wearing unofficial clothing on the podium - following Lewis Hamilton’s Tuscan GP T-shirt urging action over the death of Breonna Taylor.
An FIA communication this morning reads: "For the duration of the Podium Ceremony and Post Race Interview Procedure, the Drivers finishing in race in positions 1, 2, 3 must remain attired only in their Driving Suits, 'done up' to the neck, not opened to the waist.
"For the avoidance of doubt this includes a Medical Face Mask or Team Branded Face Mask."

Lewis Hamilton under investigation before Russian GP for doing a practice start outside the designated area.
I see a penalty coming his way, grid drop or time penalty ?

Yeah, if Red Bull have sorted out their starts then I expect Max to be ahead by turn 4. Which could make for a cracking race.
He’s had a scrappy weekend! Maybe he really doesn’t want pole today and wants to gain the slipstream rather than give it!
Honestly that looks really weird, like why would he do that?
I can see he him being in big trouble for this, 5 place grid drop or stop and go 10 seconds, even back of the grid f they deem it dangerous.He’s had a scrappy weekend! Maybe he really doesn’t want pole today and wants to gain the slipstream rather than give it!
No idea why he would, but a stupid place to do it
It must be too late to change the grid at this stage, thinking about it any penalty has to be a time one.
Russian GP start.
Nearly lights out, could be a classic or a borefest.
All about Turn 1,2 and 3. I think Max or Bottas have the best chance because of the long run, after that I don’t see much change in the order but we shall see.
Almost got completely caught out by the start time. What’s the point in starting it two hours early? Sochi is only two hours ahead right?
Max more of a treat I think, the softs are 0.7 second faster than the mediums, depends how long Lewis can make his softs last.
2-3 crashes would be nice, maybe a third red flag in a row too.
would make it interesting, that for sure.
I think Lewis will escape a penalty for this race, could get one for the next.
Bottas takes the lead
Cool start.
SC out
and then loses it
Someone has crashed already
Max had a dreadful start
Sainz, terrible driving.
