The Japanese Grand Prix was a lengthy affair of waiting between the initial two laps and then the actual restart. After a big safety issue early on, 40 minutes of racing enabled Verstappen to seal an easy win as Perez finished second and Leclerc third.
Yeah usually they don't give penalties for this kind of thing, especially when Charles clearly lost whatever advantage he had rather than losing it.mzivtins wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 10:23The wdc was fully won here or next race, in extreme circumstances at worse three races.
But what advantage was gained by lec? He didn't maintain a position by leaving the track as if he made the corner he would have had a larger delta to per compared with what he did have.
Telemetry would be good, all the Laps of the two fighting coming through the last chicane and last corner
That's live sport for you though.BlueCheetah66 wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 10:28I'm a bit pissed though. I wanted a proper commentary over the line, radio on the in lap, all the fans celebrating.
It's just so weird to me that it can even matter in a sport, it's so weird, are Honda that crushed by issues that we have to delay cost cap issues and lean onto dubious penalties to make it so?GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 10:27Yeah usually they don't give penalties for this kind of thing, especially when Charles clearly lost whatever advantage he had rather than losing it.mzivtins wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 10:23The wdc was fully won here or next race, in extreme circumstances at worse three races.

Actually I believe that it is likely more down to the little squeeze after the incident having seen it moremzivtins wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 10:23The wdc was fully won here or next race, in extreme circumstances at worse three races.

once again its down to the apparent fine print text. why cant the FIA just make the rules just god damned simpler.... 50-75% should be partial points PERIOD... no resumed or halted BS....
But then he shouldn't have got a penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage. Should be impeding instead.mzivtins wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 10:33Actually I believe that it is likely more down to the little squeeze after the incident having seen it moremzivtins wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 10:23The wdc was fully won here or next race, in extreme circumstances at worse three races.
