I hope so, the initial report was that the problem was on the ERS/electrical side.
You mean the guy who never drove for McLaren but did win races for Red Bull Racing in its former guise as Stewart Racing?Wouter wrote: ↑31 Oct 2024, 10:05Well, this man is a steward AGAIN this weekend:
..Johnny Herbert: 'Penalty we gave Verstappen won't stop him pushing Norris off track again'
October 30th 2024
Max Verstappen clashed with Lando Norris in Mexico because he wanted a Ferrari 1-2 finish at the expense of his title rival, says Johnny Herbert, who was one of the stewards who handed 20sec of penalties to the Red Bull driver, who he believes is prepared to push Norris off the track again
Verstappen and Norris are set to clash again in Sao Paulo
Max Verstappen was in a “horrible mindset” and fully deserved the 20 seconds of penalties he received in the Mexico City Grand Prix after his “over-the-top” driving, says Johnny Herbert, who was one of the stewards judging the incident last weekend.
But the former British Grand Prix winner believes that the sanction will have no effect on Verstappen’s driving style, and that the reigning world champion will attack and defend just as aggressively at this weekend’s race in Sao Paulo; at a circuit that’s no stranger to track limit and overtaking wrangles.
“Those penalties in Mexico won’t stop Max Verstappen from pushing Lando Norris off the track in the future,” Herbert told sports betting firm Action Network. “I don’t see Verstappen’s driving changing because the number one goal is to stop Norris from closing the gap for the drivers’ championship. We potentially still have a lot of interesting racing coming our way.”
“The whole intention of Verstappen [in Mexico] was to try to let Ferrari get the one-two finish,” said Herbert. “I think that’s definitely what Verstappen intended and tried to achieve, I understand why he did it but I don’t agree with it, I don’t think many people do.

BTW, did he gave Leclerc a penalty too for saying the F word during the Press Conference?

"Max Verstappen was in a “horrible mindset” ... " What the hell does a steward have to do with assessing any driver's state of mind and making a non-educated analysis of it?!?
Don't be naive mate, nobody cares about those rules other than McLaren and Mercedes drivers right now. Though I seriously doubt even Piastri trully cares, he's a true racer who asks for no room and gives no room.PapayaFan481 wrote: ↑31 Oct 2024, 18:3019 out of the current 20 drivers want a change to the rules to clamp down on what Max has been doing.
Pretty much every single former driver in the grid not employed by Red Bull think Max overstepped the line.
But sure, nobodies on the Internet know better

Do you think the true racer Piastri could have pulled that overtake against Max in Monza, the one he did against Norris?Vanja #66 wrote: ↑31 Oct 2024, 18:38Don't be naive mate, nobody cares about those rules other than McLaren and Mercedes drivers right now.

The way Norris allowed others to toss him around speaks of him really, not of anyone else
Please kindly refrain from putting words in my mouth, plenty of others doing it already
One should get used to this on Internet forums. It's usual to make an opinion of what one posts. This is no legal contract writing to not do that.
And that is why I point it out when someone puts words in my mouth
