Max really put it in at the last second.
And yeah, funny to see the CultLH double-standards shine through once again. Here's hoping he wipes out at Turn 1 of the Sprint and further exposes himself throughout the remainder of the season.

The FIA basically did the racing equivalent of holding Schumacher's front door open to let Hill scoop some free points for 2 weekends and finger-wagging if he so much as got out of bed.
 
It's official even God hates Lewis.

The FiA has penalized Checo and will actually be starting 13th tomorrow.

It's crazy they managed to delete all those laps times and sort it just fine within about 10 seconds of it occurring but couldn't sort it out for Perez.

At least it's for the sprint and not the GP so he has chance to make up places and undo some of it in the sprint.
 
I want to know which world feed producer made a deal with the devil to know the exact second to put the Hamilton onboard picture-in-picture to show him spin off live. And how did crofty and the boys not notice it. While the pip was showing, they were wondering what the yellow flag was for.

I get there's rules and everything, but imho someone needs to reel the FIA in in regards to retroactive session order. You shouldn't be able to change the results of something hours after the fact, especially when no rules were directly broken, but rather the manner in which they have been interpreted. Alonso in particular springs to mind; he had a penalty at Miami during the race, which was fair, then I guess someone at the FIA decided he hadn't been penalised enough and was given another which promptly booted him out of the points. Then they did it again at Canada. Just how long does the FIA need to decide "yup, he's weaving too much" and apply a penalty to a driver? Why can't it be done during the race or immediately after it, why hours later?

For Perez, it's not that big a deal tbh. He justly got his lap time deleted and put on the starting place that he would have gotten either way, since there was no time to take another shot at a hot lap anyway.
But Gasly has justification for crying foul here, cause he was fucked over the hardest. With Checo's time being deleted, Gasly would have had been in Q3 and might have gotten a quicker time than Hamilton at least, so he starts from 10th when it could have been 9th or even further up the grid.

That is a big fucking issue.

When it comes to a situation where FiA needs to take a close look at the telemetry of multiple cars, check out the footage from several angles and on-boards and so on to determine if someone is guilty of, say, causing a collision in a really complex incident, it's well understandable that it might take some time. It's especially understandable that FiA takes its time when all drivers involved are no longer part of the race, since there is no reason to deal with it quickly and there's still more important things going on during the race.
In such cases, postponing the analysis to a time after the race makes a whole lot of sense.

But this isn't such an issue. The question is: "Did Perez exceed track limits, yes or no?" and he so very obviously and clearly did:

Duh. I think sorting this one out really takes a couple hours.

Why this wasn't resolved in the short timeframe before Q3 started, so Gasly can participate, is beyond me and AT should take a huge steaming pile on FiA for it.

Well then, that's on the FIA. How hard could it be to hire 20 people to watch every single driver and flag up anything suspicious to look at during the interval between Q2 and Q3? Something this flagrant should not have taken hours to deliberate upon.
 
Just a small sample from my favourite F1-related Twitter account:

At this point, I feel CultLH warrants its own thread. Their collective seething far exceeds the F1 fandom.
Quick question: What's the minimum requirement for making a Community Watch thread? Do I need a certain number of messages or reaction score?

They certainly produce enough bullshit but I doubt Null wants every insufferable sports fans group to have a thread otherwise the place would be absolutely stuffed full of threads about Liverpool fans nonstop crying about the 96 their own thugs trampled to death, England fans crowing about it totally being their year then seething when the inevitable bottling occurs, and so forth.

I mean, technically this is the LH-Dicksucker Community Watch thread.
 
Need there to be chaos on the sprint so Haas can get double points again. More realistically Mick is probably going to screw up leaving kmag to drag the team. I’m enjoying this kmag and Bottas resurgence
