The whole thing is a mess.
Retrospectively punishing because they didn't deal with it in time is a bit rubbish.

I agree that Palou is an exciting driver… Hard to judge him against Piastri though, who might be better between the 2 is a big unknown… But Piastri is a solid driver, i haven’t seeing anything that would warrant a changeBen1980 wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023, 21:05Not being critical of him. Just really think Palou is a great driver, and would have been good in the team( not that Oscar isn't a good pick)SmallSoldier wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023, 20:59He is a very good driver… Staring from the back, you can always get in trouble… The incident wasn’t his fault and having to stop for a front wing change killed his race
The penalties themselves are fine. Drivers should be able to stay on the track if they want to not be penalised. However, there needs to be systems and personnel available to the stewards/FIA so they can deal with everything during the race. Having no final classification until five hours post-race is silly and at the very least borderline farcical.
Yes agreed, I did mean ‘post-race penalties’ and not the track limit infringements themselves, however, we don’t see this at other tracks, so clearly there must be a better solution here than handing out penalties left, right & centreSlahinki wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023, 22:15The penalties themselves are fine.
