How have we had two race-winning drivers not line up on the grid right in two successive races?
 
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
 
Wait, is it legal to serve your penalty under SC?
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
 
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.
 
That safety car was farcical and so was the FIA excuse that the GPS showed Stroll on track

Use your eyes!
