Alonso rapid start but maybe incorrect grid position? 😤

edit: 5 second penalty? Nooooooooooo.

How have we had two race-winning drivers not line up on the grid right in two successive races?
 
Dang, Piastri and Lando with wing damage. Lots of ground to make up. C'mon, goooooooooo! 😤
 
Clearly too far left in the slot. But no chance for keeping the lead anyway

Parade practice is required clearly.
 
Chasing Hamilton for 8th - I'm glad they clarified that.
 
Stroll has stopped. Safety car will hurt Alonso.
 
No reason for that to be a SC, he's fully behind the wall
 
Sucks for Stroll. Had pace for solid Aston points.
 
Why not a double yellow instead if a safety car or he's that far off track?

Well, that's hurt all the GTP FF1 leaders!
 
Wait, is it legal to serve your penalty under SC?
 
That absolutely did not need a safety car at all.
 
This restart might go well for Lewis since he's the only one on that medium....not sure if they will last till the end though

Yes.
Not the drivers fault for SC.

I would think the ONLY way you could prevent the driver from doing so is if HE caused the SC, but that's a unique scenario.

Yep:
54.3
The stewards may impose any one of the penalties below on any driver involved in an Incident:

a) A five (5) second time penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane, stop in his pit stop position for at least five seconds and then re-join the sprint session or the race. The relevant driver may however elect not to stop, provided he carries out no further pit stop before the end of the sprint session or the race. In such cases five (5) seconds will be added to the elapsed the sprint session or race time of the driver concerned.

b) A ten (10) second time penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane, stop in his pit stop position for at least ten seconds and then re-join the sprint session or the race. The relevant driver may however elect not to stop, provided he carries out no further pit stop before the end of the sprint session or the race. In such cases ten (10) seconds will be added to the elapsed the sprint session or race time of the driver concerned.

In both of the above cases the driver concerned must carry out the penalty the next time he enters the pit lane and, for the avoidance of doubt, this includes any stop the driver makes whilst a VSC or safety car procedure is in use

That Ferrari radio with Charles...oiii

They told him too late about Hamilton pitting and his need to push.
 
I find it funny how they're going on about how Lewis will be putting up a fight due to him being on mediums.
The Merc is slow, even with softer tires, it wont help.

Looked it up and it seems like it wasn't allowed at some point in the past, but has been legal in recent years

These teams would not have done it if it was not allowed.

Well, wouldn't be the first time a team royally messes up one of the rules :lol:
 
Not even two full races in and this season already sucks.

That safety car was farcical and so was the FIA excuse that the GPS showed Stroll on track

Use your eyes!
 
Will RB let Sergio win this? Dumb question I know.

Verstappen's getting the luck that Hamilton used to. How much time did he gain from the safety car?
