Everyone increasing the gap to the car behind them does not bode well for the rest of the race. Sainz the only one who is sort of keeping pace with the car ahead.

Great consistency from fia

 

[.:MBK:.]

stewards given out all their freebies now, time for the penalties

 

[jonneymendoza]

So it's OK for max to push another driver off of turn 1 but nor ok for Russell to do the same?

Umm

 

[Flibster]

I'm slightly surprised by how stable the Mercedes looks in the old spec.

 

[jonneymendoza]

FIA Stewards - 5 second time penalty for Russell - Forcing another driver off the track

Same move max did...

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

it wasn't T1 lap 1

Edit:
Also I still strongly believe that the white line rule should be enforced 100% of the track regardless. no 3 strikes on certain corners etc.
