This race, or at least making picks at the moment, is turning into a mess.

....."Hamilton, who has a five-place grid penalty for Sunday's grand prix, was untouchable over one lap, 0.438 seconds quicker than Verstappen.

However, Hamilton's car was referred to the stewards for an alleged technical infringement on its rear wing.

If found not to comply, he will be sent to the back of the sprint grid."......

....."Verstappen is also set to appear in front of stewards on Saturday morning for an alleged breach of the FIA's International Sporting Code concerning rules on working on the cars after qualifying.".....

Well, this may change things somewhat.........

Difficult to see how Merc/LH can receive a further penalty for anything regarding the rear wing when Crashappen has be "caught in the act" Could well be the later that receives the penalty....

[pharvey]

Unbelievable decision from the FIA/Stewards - disgraceful that Crashappen simply gets a fine that is what, a new watch or a weekly takeaway bill? He'll make more from gaining Pole or position in the race... dear, dear, dear

Superb from Bottas and Hamilton - goes to show.Massive displays from both and the Mercedes team.

Red BS, Homer and Crashappen will continue with the complaints - they have done over the years and will continue to do so. I'm hoping for Bottas.....

As for LH, watch out Crashappen - you've got away without the (deserved) penalty, but you should be nervous....

Smack the Dutch child at the start Valtteri!!

Add Lewis' 5 place penalty to that though.....

[pharvey]

Well, today showed the class driver that LH is and what a complete and utter tosser Crashappen is. Seriously, the FIA don't give a penalty for his petulant and incredibly dangerous behavior/display? Red BS, Crashappen and Homer have a great deal to answer to IMHO as do the FIA and stewards.

Looking forward to the next three races where the Red BS are going to be outclassed... And deservedly so.

Halfway around the world now for next weekend. A logistics nightmare I'm sure. Good luck to all!
