No intention to make that corner

Except he did and Max didn't.

 

[GlamFM]

Wow, 5 seconds for Max? I woulda thought just give the place back. 😮

He didn’t though. You can self correct before the stewards get involved.

 

[Grayfox]

All Penalty's need to be served with in 3 laps

but still should of had to give the place back, what a farce

 

[Jimlaad43]

Max's onboard shows how clearly he never intended on making the corner. Deserved penalty

Only stop/go penalties - Max will serve a time penalty at the next stop; it's a joke because he could make that time up in clear air.

Thats my point.
None of this "Serve it Later" crap.
Russell pointed this out a few years ago.
Cheat and make penalty given pointless

Sorry, I misunderstood. Totally agree, penalties should be served immediately; however, if not serious enough to warrant a stop/go, then the penalty needs to be adequately severe (ie, 10-15s penalty).

Lando is so bad at overtaking. Jesus.

Why does he do it BEFORE the DRS line TWICE?

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Bleh, forgot how that last DRS detection zone can be exploited. 😤

This feels familiar from another race.
Overtake before DRS, get overtaken in DRS zone

I think Max and Lewis played this game before. Few years ago.

 

[Fezzik]

That’s how you overtake. Well done Oscar.

 

[GlamFM]

Balls of steel

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

That’s how you overtake. Well done Oscar.

And a tight squeeze for Alonso

 

[IforceV8]

LEC and NOR on softs until the end? LEC personal best lap on lap 29

nope

 

[Fezzik]

Damn, that was some speedy work from Ferrari. Guido would be proud.

A rare opportunity to see when things go right at Ferrari

 

[GlamFM]

NOR looking at P5 unless there is another SC.

EDIT: they’re done waiting for a SC

He can get Russell for 4th.

Though it sounds like he’s getting a penalty for the pitstop exit.

 

[GlamFM]

He can get Russell for 4th

He might get a penalty for crossing a line at the pit exit.

Otherwise I think P3 is on the table still.

EDIT: saw the replay. I think he’s good

EDIT2: no further investigation

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Lando got lucky avoiding a pit lane penalty. 😤

 

[IforceV8]

The white line is a wall until it isnt

He clearly wasn’t over the line. No clue why they opened an investigation in the first place.

 

[Fezzik]

I for one welcome our new Australian overlord

 

[Rossell2]

Oscar is my pick for the title now without doubt.

 

[05XR8]

Too cool. Long way to go. One race at a time.

 

[Grayfox]

Wonder if those Max leaving rumors will end soon.
He does have a race winning car.

[Fezzik]

Double points for Williams. A happy night for many in the fantasy league.
