they won't get a penalty as they fessed up in time. The reason they admitted it was because it would have been found later today anyway, and then they may well have got a penalty had they just not said anything

Shots fired! I like it. Let's not bring a mega update and dominate Austin.

It would be quite a let down if Red Bull managed to claw back their pace and WDC hopes fizzle out.

In some reports they say FIA already was notified in Singapore and that they monitored it. So maybe that's why Verstappen was close in qualy but no where in race.

I bet that Zak will be so loud this weekend ))

Considering that this is their second offence this year and the third offence in 3 years should we expect some kind of punishment? After all it is a clear rule breach with the only question is for how much time did that happen. Remember that Benneton was punished harshly for Option 13.

I wrote about it in Red Bull thread but two things make sense. If Red Bull used it it would explain why McLaren had better pace at end of races. McLaren would end up on their qualy ride height while Red Bull ran a better race ride height (quicker earlier on).

Also teams probably can see when Red Bull brought it to the car, if it is in open source documents. I hope we get that info.

Btw I would be disappointed to win WDC through a penalty but then again, a win is a win.

Finally a decent explanation for this. I had been putting it down to McLaren/Lando just managing the stints differently but this would indeed make sense as well.
