Poll: Monaco Grand Prix 2022, Circuit de Monaco - Race 7

[MM-Seat]

Checo and Max have been summoned to the stewards.

Did you not see Lewis' interview before the race?

Pretty much confirmed what Ross Brawn said in the article I linked in the off topic thread.

They have completely different cars, Lewis is always trying new parts and new setups so has a different car almost every session, having to learn new handling traits etc every time.

George gets pretty much same car all the time so is more used to the way it handles etc.

sounds like excuses to me... OR George is just the better driver...

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Exactly, but it also means Lewis often gets setups that just don't work, and make the car undrivable, but he just has to get on with it.

Ross Brawn basically said, the team are sacrificying Lewis and championship points, to get the issues with the car sorted ASAP.

They seemed to have some pace at times today. They’ll get there, but yes, they are clearly focussed on testing rather than racing.

I hope Perez thanks Sainz for the win if he hadn't got between him and Max I'm sure we know how it would have ended up

Depending on the stewards decision it might end up being a Ferrari 1-2 if they apply 5s penalties to Max and Checo for crossing the pit entry line.

Is that even being investigated?

edit Found it. Summons was an hour ago, should hear soon.

 

[utajoker]

Thry both crossed the pit line?

Thought horner might have summoned them to workout a way of switching their finish positions

 

[Flibster]

It's going to be nothing isn't it. If there is a penalty, it'll be a reprimand, fine and penalty points on their licences rather than a time penalty.

Crossing the solid pit lane line incurs a time penalty

 

[koolpc]

Be amazed if a penalty is given

How the stewards meeting is going

Horner: actually could you give Perez a 10 second penalty instead of 5
Stewards:..
Perez:..
Max: thanks for being such a great team player

Classic F1 rules/enforcing/not enforcing them. I’m no RB fan but to suddenly decide something after the race that affects the result would be pretty special. Especially when they could’ve done it hours ago… It’s not like the infraction happened at the end of the race?! Plus it’s not one of those things that’s hard to judge, you’re either over the line or you aren’t. Like Lando losing his quality lap at the last race. That was decided before he even got back to the pits!

 

[englishpremier]

I've not seen any overheads showing them cross the line.

the onboard from Max looked like he might well of, but it certainly wasn't conclusive.

I don't think they would have asked him to swap today. Last time it was about taking the championship lead from Charles.

They don't have to cross the line. They have to stay to the right of the line. Touching the line is the offence.

 

[utajoker]

Read that the rules say to keep to the right of the pit line? So touching its a penalty?

Technically, but they've historically only penalised for clearly crossing the line, as far as I can remember anyway.

 

[UTmaniac]

Better late than never with rule breach investigations!

But does a breach decision now reduce the penalty compared to if it was done at the correct time, during the race?

Anyone know what the usual guilty penalty is?

Ask Grosjean about that. Penalised for touching the line, Monaco 2019 iirc

Great, has there been any overheads showing it?

As I say, it looked Max might have, but the camera angle didn't really give a clear indication.
