Great lap from Sainz, absolutely brilliant.

And no further action for the slow laps, results stand.

Moment absolutely killed by the monotone and useless Ferrari engineers.

F1 really should just become a time trial series because qualifying really is the best part of the weekend.

guess I have to sign up for f1tv since I just noticed that ESPN and other Disney channels got pulled off my cable provider for a contract dispute.

Agreed.

That was a great sport moment but we all know who is going to win tomorrow.

 

[AshenGraey]

Half of the job done Ferrari. Hopefully both drivers will have the pace to be able to bring the race win tomorrow.

Apparently Vasseur argued that the slow laptime rule can't be applied if the driver(s)are slowing down to let other cars pass by. Since there hasn't been a public detailed ruling from the FIA, the implication is that Vasseur's argument is what got the stewards to back down on investigating the Ferrari cars.

That, and the stewards probably wanted to make it back to their hotel room in one complete, non-spray-painted-in-red piece.

Sainz been on it all weekend. Would love to see him win it. Unfortunately the Red Bull is always superior on tyre wear and race pace. And Verstappen is flying atm. We shall see though.

My mind was going other places on why there was no further investigation.

From the official decision document:

The Stewards thoroughly reviewed Marshalling/Positioning data, timing data, on-board cameras and CCTV cameras.
Both drivers stayed at or above speeds necessary to stay below 1:41.0 around the vast majority of the circuit and especially on the straights. However, in both cases the Stewards determined that the drivers took appropriate actions to slow and stay to the side to the track so as to not impede other drivers, and in both cases they did this significantly to allow four drivers to pass while giving those drivers a clear track. The Stewards therefore determine that they did not drive “unnecessarily slowly”, and that evidently the reason they were both slightly above the maximum time was due to their appropriate actions and take no further action

Sounds like a fair reasoning to me.

It consistently shows how useless the sprints are.

 

[SestoScudo]

Ferrari at pole how it should be.

Now go win the race!!

Place your bets.
Odds of Ferrari screwing up.

 

[Northstar]

Yuki out already.

At least 99%

Yuki out already

 

[Grayfox]

Yuki is out before it even started.

 

[Blitz24]

Some of America will not like this.

 

[PaMu1337]

Ferrari issues starting already?

AT has a smoky car before the final corner.

Leclerc was reporting steering issues

The Ferrari fan laughing by the guy with the Alpha Tauri cap...little do they know

Tsunoda's car is stuck in gear.

 

[Blitz24]

Leclerc was reporting steering issues

Ah, missed that.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Technically a red flag? Seems like the gate didn't open for the team's to get onto the grid after they stopped, might cause more of a delay.

 

[IforceV8]

This could have been handled with a safety car.

 

[Jubby]

Another shining moment that the FIA is the best spectacle in racing. 🤣

 

[MagpieRacer]

This could have been handled with a safety car.

Could have, but what possible benefit would that have had for a race that hadn't started? Let's just get rid of the most exciting part of the GP..

 

[Grayfox]

Now we have to wait 15 minutes before green flag.

Another aborted start would've been the best option.
By the time they got around, they AT would've been removed.
