FIA Stewards - Turn 6 incident involving Norris and Perez under investigation - Causing a collision

 

[Flibster]

According to Ted, the pit stop infringements are due to some of the pit crew at Alpine and Mercedes not having their helmet's closed or their eye protection on during the pit stop.

Well that's a new one.

Where's Latifi when you need him?

some jobsworth must be very bored

 

[Stu999]

Think this might be the worst race of the year.

 

[Mr Jack]

Deserved penalty for Pérez, pity Norris won't stay close enough to take advantage.

No point having safety rules if they're not enforced.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

A suitable ending to a very forgettable season.

This race should be put either side of Jeddah. Id actually much prefer Jeddah as the finale, surely the Saudis can match Abu Dhabis offer !

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

We really shouldn't have this race as the final one. This is more a third race of the season type of event...

What would the race be without Ferrari strategists making questionable calls? Feel like Sainz could be much farther up the road if they'd just not required a safety car. What sort of strategy was this? A coin flip, or a prayer.

Race control - Russell time 1:30.038 deleted - track limits turn 1 lap 54

 

[Stu999]

Sainz on for penultimate lap pit stop. Perez has done 3 seconds on Russell already.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

It has been a great race for Tsunoda today. He's done everything required, but just didn't play out how they want.

 

[Kenai]

Leclerc on the ball, trying to get Perez the gap
