It does not matter does it, can they not change engines for used in other races.
To be honest I actually didn’t see any waved flags so I got no idea where they were or when. But if they were on the main straight, Ocon definitely backed off (I think it was him), Bottas didn’t. And I don’t know what happened after that.
I do. Else I can see Max torpedoing Lewis á la Schumacher
What’s the point of a meeting if it’s already decided that he won’t be punished? Could the FIA be any more transparent?

No it doesn't matter from a technical viewpoint but a lot of chatter on some social media was that the gap was due to the newer engine.
Definitely not. He just doesn't really do the niceties, not to others, not to himself.
Who says it's already been decided?
Yeah didn’t realise you edited it … relax bro.
That article? Which could be bullshit of course.
50K fine
He can always take an extra pit stop or two and lewis will have to lap him if he's that intent on harpooning him
You can clearly see Bottas blasting past Gasly near the end of the video so you can bet your arse if Max gets a penalty Horner will do everything he can to ensure Bottas does too
Doesn't work like that, he would be getting too close to Mazepin
I am
And I wouldn't put that passed Horner.
But even the FIA would struggle to not ban him with that premeditation. At least Schumacher could hide behind "ooops" even though we could all see it
Believe they initially concluded no investigation necessary and told the media but have changed their mind and summoned Max since. Wonder if Mercedes got in touch with Michael Masi to ask what the feck?
Someone's put together a compilation of drivers here. Looking at that, Max is the only one to pass double waved yellows but it looks like Bottas and Sainz passed a single stationary yellow as well so potentially three places for them and five for Verstappen. Sainz had just been summoned as well, guess they're going through them all now, likely Bottas to follow.

Well, for all the talk on here during the last month about how the season was over for Mercedes and Lewis, as things stand today it's actually Red Bull and Verstappen who look to be in trouble.
Of course there's still all to race for and literally anything can happen in the last three races. But I just saw Verstappen's post qualifying interview and he knows it's just not looking great right now. First time this season where I feel you could clearly see he's lost that real belief. Will be really interesting to see how he deals with that tomorrow, but yeah, it's not great for your morale knowing you can have an impeccable race, perform at 105% and still normally finish second at best.

Schumacher got thrown out of the while championship in 97 when he went after villneuve
What are the odds of Bottas and Sainz getting penalised while Max gets away with a warning/fine?
Yeah I noticed his attitude hasn't been as positive. Lewis in an interview a month talked about the pressure in a title race and how it gets to you. If remember Max and Horner both laughed it off like say he doesn't feel the pressure. Both accused him of mind games but I don't think that is what he meant he was talking himself and having moments of doubt.
Was thinking about Hill
(but I bow down to the F1 experts, not my first or second sport)
Stewards have proven they're incompetent recently but surely not that incompetent and stupid.
Haha! Probably true though. The FIA's bias is so transparent.
double yellow waved flags: fia to verstappen v sainz | bottas
Anything is possible with the clowns in charge at the moment.
Very good.
Grid pens are coming, they have to be, after Seb got one in the first race for the same thing.
I say zero chance , its either all with pens or none.
Looking at Max's first run, he actually beats Bottas' final run. So losing his last lap won't matter. Only a grid penalty can change the grid.
I bet they’ll use the fact that multiple cars breached flags as a reason to conclude to either not penalise all of them or decide to simply void those laps - because both of these prevents Max from losing any places.
Good shout, give the all a warnings and points on their super license, they have been punished and dont alter the grid.
