Three-time world champion Max Verstappen secured his 18th victory of 2023 in Las Vegas, beating Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, whose chances were massively compromised by a safety car period. F1Technical's senior writer Balázs Szabó reports on the Nevada F1 race.

But now suddenly, loose track surface which resulted in major damage on Sainz's car and could possibly have hurt him.. That is OK.. Lmao

No. This part of the sporting reg does not allow for force majeure or other clauses. Stewards cannot step in despite wanting to in this instance
I guess that they'll have a look at the regulations after the season to prevent something like this in the future
I'm expecting a BOTG start, but let's see. I want to see an engine tuned for 1 race, a la bottas monza 2021search wrote: ↑17 Nov 2023, 12:05"Having received a request [...] in order to allow a replacement of the Energy Store from outside the pool, without penalty" sounds like it was the only ES Sainz still had available. So yeah, that's a +10 penalty then - or more likely a back of the grid start, with a new unit, I guess.
Yeah sure... I would appreciate those kind of words but if it was one of his drivers, he would definitely scream all over the F1, FOM ... etc. the amount of the hypocrisy in that guyValeVida46 wrote: ↑17 Nov 2023, 11:53"The car is broken, that's really a shame.

yeah, but to be fair, often Friday engines are at the end of their life already, and only used in practice. So handing out new parts without penalty can also lead to an unfair advantage in the end.
That's my point.. They run a nightrace with a short turnaround to when they need to reopen the track for traffic & can't keep staff around for long enough to have a contingency plan
