Did FIA hire Ferrari strategists to run race control?

The old joke about Ferrari International Assistance might need retooling. Ferrari Incompetence Agenecy?

 

[Grayfox]

Perez out.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Damn, nice move on Piastri, Charles. 😤

edit: Dang, Perez and Hulk out.

 

[Liquid]

At least Verstappen kept that one on the road.

Blame the FIA removing the not forcing a car off when overtaking rule

Quite happily

Perez out! His position at RB must be unsustainable at this point.

I should clarify, it's an improvement that he bothered to stay between the lines, not that it was good defending.

Not on once the share holders give their say.

 

[Blitz24]

10 second stop go penalty for Norris.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Dammit, Lando... 10 second penalty! 😤

 

[Grayfox]

WOW.
STOP/GO when was the last time that was issued

Yeah, all comes down to his sponsorship I guess. Wonder if they could move him to the b team or keep him on as a reserve/brand ambassador Danny Ric style if he doesn’t improve.

 

[Blitz24]

Means Max's move has less impact. Stewards must be Ferrari fans.

Too long ago. Time penalties have been such a slap on the wrist.

 

[PorscheFan91]

10 second stop/go for Lando crazily harsh I feel.

 

[Jimlaad43]

WOW.
STOP/GO when was the last time that was issued

I think Schumacher at Silverstone in 2011

Still, nice to see a driver being punished for ignoring yellow flags for once. Now they need to be ENORMOUSLY consistent.

 

[ZoomingZoomer]

Don’t let all this chaos and penalty shenanigans distract you from the fact that ZHOU GUANYU in the SAUBER is running in the points!

 

[Blitz24]

Hamilton DT penalty for speeding.

 

[IforceV8]

 

[Blitz24]

Black flag for FIA. Protested by FIA. Penalty has been rescinded.

 

[Grayfox]

Don’t let all this chaos and penalty shenanigans distract you from the fact that ZHOU GUANYU in the SAUBER is running in the points!

But his he running T66 Turbo with a MoTec exhaust?

Great to see! Feel he’s a bit underrated.

This really. Consistency hasn’t been that great this weekend I feel. Still rules are rules I guess -was letting my McLaren fannishness show through in my post above I guess - want them to win the constructors.

 

[Jimlaad43]

10s Stop/Go penalty to Verstappen to rebalance the "so called" British Bias

 

[Liquid]

Hamilton trying to pull a 1995 Nigel Mansell.

 

[Blitz24]

Hamilton retires the car. Or not. Confusion reigns today.

 

[PorscheFan91]

Hamilton retires the car. Or not. Confusion reigns today.

It’s been a crazy race for sure!

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Heheh, go KMag. 😅

This weekend has shown that the FIA needs significant changes. The difference in race director is virtually nil (if not worse), the penalties have been atrocious across the board and it's taking away from the good racing. It's so sad, the last 3 weeks have been great racing... but the FIA continues to make a good show look like crap.

I don't know about you guys and gals, but why watch this poor example of motorsport? They won't learn if it doesn't hit their pocketbook, though.
