The penalty was distributed for unsportsmanlike behavior. How can someone decide what is unsportsmanlike considering we have seen worse in the past? Hopefully the new car in Austria will put us clear of the midfield and give us the speed to be able to do passes even on a DRS train as at the moment it is very hard to pass.

Somehow the stewards think that Norris went so slow to impede the rest on the pitlane which I find it controversial as there have been worse events in the past.

Yeah, that penalty is frankly ridiculous given the unsportsmanlike things we see on the regular in this sport that go unpunished. Stewards yet again showing how utterly useless they are as a collective.

You know I wonder when will a Steward get penalized for wrong decision just to see how it is. Unsportsmanlike behavior my ass. How about they get rid of them for unsportsmanlike existence as the stewards are clearly useless and instead hire former F1 drivers as stewards that have a vague idea of racing than those bureocratic waste of space.

Another race where Mclaren was fast enough to score points only to manufacture their own no score :roll:

For me the final result is 9-11 not 11-13. These stewards are a waste of space and should be replaced with actual F1 drivers that know racing and have a better understanding on incidents.

Lol, Lando was lucky not to get another 5s for pit stop release, but ok.
Nice show by him at least, sad to have such a slow car. Another 0 points race, wow this season is terrible so far. Let's see what the 'B spec' / not B spec car can do.

The good thing is that this was the last race where the failure of James Key and Andreas Seidl raced. Hopefully the team has found a light at the end of the tunnel and bounce back as quick as possible. Two years after Pat Fry left that designed that fantastic car that won Monza in 1-2 and almost got 2 poles and another win and these two produced nothing. Thank god they went back to a small team as they weren't good for a team that targets the top.

Lando was not that slow. To be more accurate, we were faster than expected during the race. Maybe what someone said here about being faster towards the end of race is true. Lando was the only driver to pass another during the drs train. He almost did it again, with ocon.
Is our car so harsh on the tires? Albon did 50 laps on hards.
