I don’t love the Mazepin-bashing in general, but this is so good that you deserve all the stars.

Exactly. Seems odd to title the article blaming a team that may or may not have mentioned something over the last few weeks but then to quote an entirely different team saying it multiple times in the article.

There’s a difference between “I’d like X to do Y” and “I’m campaigning for X to be FORCED to do Y”.

Though I do agree that situations like this are just part of F1, to say that if Max doesn’t win the championship it’s simply “because he didn’t score enough points” is a disservice to Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing at this point in the season. He hasn’t won every single race, but he’s barely put a foot wrong in…

Baku blowout as well...

They all should have thought of this before agreeing to the caps. With that said, I think a vote will be forthcoming in next off season that grants relief to constructors whose vehicles were damaged based on different factors.

good …a few answers from:

Naw, don’t force other teams to pay for damages, but do penalize a team heavily when they take out 6 cars in the first corner... oh wait.

I have so many questions about the cost cap, but not any time to research them:

It would be a lot like Lewis's loss to Rosberg in 2016. It happens to the best, ask ALO about his near wins too. 

If Max loses the championship this year, it would be one of the worst losses for a driver in my memory.

First off, props for posting the actual rules. Wild speculation is SOP in internetland...

Unrelated: Alonso v. Hamilton was fucking PORN.

The fact that multiple cars were parking it on the in-lap should be reason enough that the red flag and restart was an undue circumstance for the whole field. Nevermind what a stupid reason this is for a DQ. Letter of law is important but come tf on. And this only makes it look even stupider that Bottas’ got a measly…

Even if the required amount of fuel is in the car...it seems like they have failed to have an appropriate procedure for sampling, at least in this race (possibly due to a failed lift pump as mentioned).

This is one of those situations where everyone in the world knows that the right thing to do is give Seb 2nd. But the rules say different so here we are. Fingers crossed they can find that last .7 of a liter.

Wonderful win for Ocon, heck of a drive for Seb too, and what a phenomenal job of Alonso holding off Hamilton just long enough to keep him from simply Mercedes-ing past all the lesser cars ahead of him.

I got the most kick out this race when Hamilton lined up all by himself at the restart.

Charles Leclerc was knocked out in the fray by Lando Norris

Such a fun one to watch, glad I woke up for it.
