Arguably the worst race this season. We had more drama than actual racing.

Not to mention Norris looked like he might actually give us a race for the win right at the end. Only for the stewards to decide it's time to wake up and stop that shit before anything actually worth watching happens.

imo FIA just wants a fight in wcc rather than the actual racing. i may sound biased but like not setting the vsc for the mirror on the main straight and just setting there a yellow for 3(?) laps is weird

FIA definitely wants a fight. Same with the driver's championship.

After all if there is no fighting there is no money for them.

As if people would stop watching/attending Abu Dhabi if the WCC was decided already…

u/dohtje Question. 25d ago edited 25d ago

Ngl thought he was gonna get a 10 sec, wich is normally the case with disregarding yellow flags. But a 10 sec stop and go.. Damn...

Lewis I can understand though.. Safety car through the pitlane and. Than speeding creating rather dangerous situation, though still very harse

u/HellBlazer_NQ WHAT THE FUCK IS AN APPENDIX?!?!?!? 🩺🧑‍⚕️ 25d ago

That stop and go was basically (and they knew it at the time of awarding it) a 14 place grid penalty.

u/Chewingman BWOAHHHHHHH 25d ago

The 10s stop/go i thought was harsh at first. But after some reading that is the correct penalty for disregarding double yellow. Everyone who has disregarded it has gotten that penalty. It has just been such a long time that people have forgotten how big it really is

They should try mixing up penalties every once in a while. Right after sc, every9ne bunched up, and you slap that on p2.

u/poughdrew WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅RAHH 25d ago

I was expecting 0sec to Norris, 5sec to Hamilton, but instead we get whatever this was. Just embarrassing from the stewards.

u/dohtje Question. 25d ago

Norris clearly not slowing under yellow he didn't even lift slightly, they can't not give him a pen for that couse that's a clear rule...

u/Health_throwaway__ BWOAHHHHHHH 25d ago

A vanity lift is a stupid requirement. It should've been a VSC straight away

7

u/dohtje Question. 25d ago

Yes, you're totally right, it should have been a VSC/SC, but it wasn't, thus Lando should have lifted like the other drivers

Though Lifting also shows you're aware something is going on on track
