Poll: Brazilian Grand Prix 2021, São Paulo - Race 19

[Mr Jack]

That's pretty cut and dry though.

I find it strange that they acknowledged it was broken but didn't allow repair.

I still wonder how RB knew though since it was only slightly off.

I don't think they did. They do believe that the Merc rear wing is flexing illegally though, it was that which Max was looking for.

And we all know why that was, they are desperate for merc not to win the WDC this year

Of course they are.

 

[the wopster]

Of course they are.

Let’s see in about 3 hours time ehh

See what? Even if they don't punish Max that doesn't prove there's some sort of conspiracy going on.

Some rumours circuling say that the underside of the wing is flexing.

If you recall, the FIA introduced those spot marker reference datums to monitor wings flexing under load which is monitored by the onboard camera. Where does the camera have a blind spot? Underneath/behind the wing.

Views on Palmer's analysis for F1 TV? His call for penalty strikes me as strange as its on official F1.com channel

He's a pundit, so he's employed for his opinions, but doesn't represent the views of the FIA.

I do KNOW that but given the state of the championship you might think they might avoid controversy if they can...

EDIT: then again its PUBLICITY

 

[Feek]

What time is the pre-hearing hearing?

Exactly, they want people talking about it as it potentially brings in more viewers and interest in the sport.

 

[Mr Jack]

What time is the pre-hearing hearing?

Reported as 2pm UK time. I guess we should see a result fairly soon.

Apparently Redbull are trying to deflect this "legally" by arguing that since there was no stewards decision on this matter and therefore no incident or breach, how can an appeal take place on a non issue. So a fairly typical Redbull response, given they haven't got a leg to stand on otherwise.

Can you link your source for this please?

Max has no regrets and says he would do the same again.

Of course he would, he's done it time and time before, why would he change. He's Max and everyone else is wrong

They were to reconvene at 5pm our time, so I guess they are discussing right now whether it will go to formal review.

 

[bayo000]

Of course he's not gonna say he's done something wrong while the appeal is still going on.
