Mercedes reverted their front wing....because they 'couldnt be bothered with the arguments' - Shovlin

Yeah....or it was illegal.

Smoke billowing out of Haas, similar to what happened at Baku earlier this year

Is there real damage to this part or just the vanity panel?

This is weird. Why would they not wait for Brazil to take a penalty, or take it at COTA where it's easy to overtake? Maybe they expected a good result at COTA, and wanted to delay the penalty to a later race.. It's weird. Sure an engine blew up in FP1 from Magnussen's pool, but it can't be the only ICE he has, can it?

probably not. Fittipaldi was also the only young driver to get to (or try to at least) run softs, so I guess it's a pre-scheduled change, and Magnussen was not going to run the normal tyres in FP2 anyway.

I cannot believe they'd schedule a 5-place penalty at Mexico when they could've taken one at COTA or Brazil. Crazy!

maybe Ferrari asked them to? I can't remember reading anything like that this season, but in the past years they didn't always had new engines for customer teams when they liked to

Or Haas tried to make it to the end but realized that they won't be able to. Aston Martin for example stays away from new engines for financial reasons.

Yes he visited both F1tv and Sky commentary boxes. Was insightful and nice to hear from him as usual
