Mazepin a bit emotional. Wonder if he is being dropped next year
It could be , I was expecting the Red Bulls to be the ones to beat.Not sure if it's the new engine, but Lewis is absolutely flying
Probably has more power yeah, but he drove well nonetheless.Not sure if it's the new engine, but Lewis is absolutely flying
Bottas is usually pretty good in qualifying. He can drive fast, but he can't race.Either Bottas is useless or his engine is suffering from the wear and decreased performance that Hamiltons was before the change?
Absolute bots.It’s just insane how well Lewis & Max drive as compared to their teammates

Hamilton forgot there’s a sprint race tomorrow hope he turns up
Depends.. don't know how much more it opened. Any margin for error? Would be harsh to make him start from pit lane if it opened like .5mm too far or something"The uppermost rear wing element adjustable positions were checked on car number 44 for compliance with article 3.6.3 of the 2021 Formula One technical regulations," read a statement on Friday evening.
"The requirement for the minimum distance was fulfilled. But the requirement for the maximum of 85mm, when the DRS system is deployed and tested in accordance with TD/011-19, were not fulfilled.
"I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration."
Horner will be all over this!
Would this make Lewi's car that much faster ?It must be mm's but less drag is less drag, if found guilty DQ from qualifying is the only punishment.
yeh i think he would start at the back of the sprint grid , then get 5 grid penalty after that"The uppermost rear wing element adjustable positions were checked on car number 44 for compliance with article 3.6.3 of the 2021 Formula One technical regulations," read a statement on Friday evening.

I agree, but rules are rules and if broken there must be punishment.Depends.. don't know how much more it opened. Any margin for error? Would be harsh to make him start from pit lane if it opened like .5mm too far or something
Start at the back in the sprint , he is not getting in the top 3 and then the 5 place grid drop, could down to 8th or lower for the race.yeh i think he would start at the back of the sprint grid , then get 5 grid penalty after that
what if he finishes 15 th in the sprint?Start at the back in the sprint , he is not getting in the top 3 and then the 5 place grid drop, could down to 8th or lower for the race.

I would tend to agree , Crofty is normally pretty good with his calls.A DQ for that can't be right. You get a 5 position penalty for using a 5th engine when only 3 is allowed, same thing if you go for your 6-7-8-9-10th engine, but your DRS being opened X mm too much gives you a DQ? Insane if true.
I want to see how much more it is open first and how much less drag.I guess if it's considered 'cheating' then the punishment would be more than an engine change for that reason. Seems harsh though.
If your car is outside of the permitted rules then you're disqualified, simple.A DQ for that can't be right. You get a 5 position penalty for using a 5th engine when only 3 is allowed, same thing if you go for your 6-7-8-9-10th engine, but your DRS being opened X mm too much gives you a DQ? Insane if true.

I dont see a problem with him looking, seen Lewis , Seb to it and others many time, but did he touch it, not sure he did, but even if he did, does anybody really thing he damaged something, I dont not for a second.Very strange, no decision until the morning. How long does it take? Technical infringements can be pretty harsh remember Vettel and the fuel issue.

Now Max has been summoned for inspecting and touching the merc car after qualifying. Quite ridiculous scenes, could you imagine Merc blaming him for it.
Max interfered with the offending item.The hearing has been adjourned to Saturday in Brazil while stewards "await further evidence that will not be available until the morning".
Shortly after that communication was sent out by the FIA late on Friday night, Max Verstappen was called in a separate summons to appear before the stewards on Saturday at 12.30pm GMT for a possible breach of parc ferme rules after qualifying.
As if what Max did could have any effect on the rear wing positionMax interfered with the offending item.
