2023 SPORTSWASH SAUDI ARABIAN Corniche Pastie GP

[PTRACER]

Bottom post of the previous page:

Whoops, I managed to fall asleep in the preamble and have just woken up as the SC was coming in.

You didn't miss much.

[PTRACER]

25th lap. Max is 2nd.

Why does that need a safety car? He is already behind the fence

Two ridiculous decisions in one race.

Yeah it was really poor today. Waiting to see if they decided Alonso has another penalty because the rear jack touched the car before the five seconds had elapsed.

[Vassago]

Not exactly a vintage race. Even a shaky SC didn't help matters.

[White six]

Ferrari fans must be more suicidal than Lewis after that

[White six]

'gps showed the Aston was on the track'.

How about using eyes as a back up? Useless twats

[Everso Biggyballies]

So final race order and gaps....

Another 1-2 for Red Bull, but Max has the championship lead by virtue of getting F?L on the last lap.

Wake me up when another team catches up.

You know they’re feeling good about themselves when post-race Max speaks about how he was “clearing” rivals.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Congrats to Fernando on his 100th podium in F1.

That has him as 6th overall in F1 History..... behind Lewis, Schumacher, Vettel, Prost and Kimi.

He’s still under investigation.

The out of his grid slot penalty was bullshit.

The rear jack touching the car during the five second penalty would be just as hilarious.

[erwin greven]

Alonso loses his 3rd place. 10 second penalty

[Everso Biggyballies]

So it looks like Fernando might actually lose that podium.....

He had a 5 second penalty to be served before service in the pits..... apparently the jack touched the car just before the 5 seconds were up.

If found guilty it seems the default penalty is 10 seconds... thats what Ocon got for a similar offence in Bahrain.

If he gets 5 seconds penalty no change,.... he keeps his podium
If he gets 10 secs he will drop to 4th and George Russell will get the podium. He will just stay ahead of Lewis

[erwin greven]

Lap 18... And it took a FKN ^#(#&$^#( minutes to penalize him.

GOOD JOB FIA!!!

He lost it. Russell 3rd.

[White six]

Remember the days when you could point the car at a 45 degree angle at the start to get around slow turbo starters. And steal a few metres before the lights went

10 seconds for Alonso

[Everso Biggyballies]

That will also alter the WCC positions and put Mercedes outright 2nd over AM

Thats a 6 point turnaround, with AM losing 3 and Merc gaining 3.
