2022 Belgian Grand Prix - Spa-Francorchamps - Aug 26 - 28

[organic]

Leclerc changes 4 Pu components at once, so I presume that's "back of the grid" (regardless of the order shenanigans that have happened so far)

.
That is 3 x 5 places penalties and for the EX??? How many are allowed? 8? Penalty?

Isn't leclerc taking a 9th exhaust according to the document? Meaning a 10-place?

[NicoS]

Media boys seems to be hanging their hopes on yellow flag "transgressions". sad bunch.

McLaren perhaps regretting the penalty for Norris given his pace..

Leclerc ditching his FW endplate again. It's a strategy

Got away with that one. Ferrari looks tough to drive this weekend

Seriously, massi was 100 times more competent than whatever shambles of race director we have now. WTF was that red flag for 1 second after a complete non-incident??? And the investigation for yellows? Fia complete bunch of idiots this year, no other word for it.

[NicoS]

the new "safety above all" group currently employed by the "fia" is a nervous trigger happy bunch when it comes to red flag.
is it lack of experience or just wrong persons for the job?

[PlatinumZealot]

It is only fair that Max wins the 2022 championship. Charles has the speed but he is just not reliable enough to deserve it more than Max.

agree. competence urgently required.

[El_KaPpa]

Anyone know why LH lost so much time in S2

[Juzh]

Just had a look of onboards of gasly and verstappen, no yellows lights on either steering wheel, no yellow flags being waved, no yellow lights lighting up track-side... Fia just a bunch of petty and vindictive kids it seems, with their new president topping all clown competitions.

This red flages are useless. The cars have a break pedal, the driver will use it if it is necessary.

on F1tv channel they say race control has confirmed to to ferrari leclerc will have to start from the back like the others, hence they took a bunch more penalties before fp3

This is not the first time this season. These new race directors drive me nuts.

I don't know. Can't find it.

EX are PU components like the other parts in 28.2 https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files ... -04-29.pdf

"each driver may use no more than [...] eight (8) of each of the four (4) elements constituting a set of Engine exhaust systems during a Championship. [...]

So it falls under 28.3 for the 9th element:

The first time an additional element is used: Ten (10) grid place penalty
