They got rid of that rule shortly after though. Vettel is the only one that ever got a penalty for that rule. You can move back to the racing line but you have to leave enough space for a car on the outside. Wich he didn't do enough so the penalty is fair imo.
From what I'm seeing in those comments, seems like this one was another cracking race. Just relocated to a new country and that's 2 F1 races that I've missed because of my "temporary living arrangement"....this is really frustrating and I feel like I'm missing it out on some good actions.
This is not completely related question but is there a reason why F1 TV Pro is not supported in Canada????????????????????????
I mean there is a Canadian Grand Prix for :censored:sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so stealing thisJust saw this on Reddit, although I'd love to take personal credit
To finish first, first you must not be Finnish.
B'dum tsshhh.
I wonder if they sat him down in front of a replay and asked him to explain the space he left, how he'd respond.
It feels like Kimi experienced what I'd seen Bottas fall victim in the few races I've seen, with tires giving out just short of the finish line. The only difference is Bottas doesn't push the hell out of tires when the strategy doesn't call for it.
Because that rule doesn't exist anymore and that is perfectly legal to do.
I almost forgot about this whole FIAsco
The regulations define the white line as the edge of the track so by those rules the penalty is fair since Verstappen did not leave a cars width of space between him and the edge of the track (aka the white line). But we all know that rule doesn't always apply. Imo it was a a fair penalty and I am a Dutch Max Verstappen fan.I almost forgot about this whole FIAsco
Today's move and penalty is well, debatable to say the least. It's another example of track limits dilemma, if you can put 2 (or 3) wheels outside of white lines in qualy, then why can't you push you rival to that extent?
If we stick to white lines rule, then Hamilton didn't leave Vettel enough space, even though we all know it was a legitimate move.
So yeah, harsh move, and imo undeserved penalty. Especially as it allowed Bottas to just chill and not attempt another pass, robbing us of great finish to the race
You know, I actually acknowledged the fact that Lewis' move was ok, like a comma later
Max didn’t force Bottas wide, he hit him off the track.You know, I actually acknowledged the fact that Lewis' move was ok, like a comma later
I just used this example to point out the fact that this "track is defined by white lines" rule isn't always enforced (and it shouldn't be). IMO it was harsh but acceptable for Max to squeeze Valtteri to that green stuff, which would mean putting two wheels over white line.
Quite ironic that all the smug Brits are patting each others' backs for a great joke and praising Princess Louise for doing an amazing job without realizing that he was nearly seven seconds behind and falling further before his Austrian boss used his Finnish team mate to save his race.Just saw this on Reddit, although I'd love to take personal credit

And how, according to rules, is a white line at that corner different to white line into T1? That’s the point I was tryin to make
How do you hit somebody who’s coming from behind? He squeezed him, Bottas refused to go on the green concrete/ asphalt kerb, and they made contact.
