Oh dear. Lando noted.

Aborted start vs Abandoned start terminology confusion.
So probably a time penalty, maybe 5 seconds or something. If the car is good it shouldn't really matter.
Sounds like it'll be 10 if they apply a punishment. Interesting to see if it's just him or all those that went.

It said aborted start. What does that mean? If they don't even know their own rules why should they penalise Lando for it if they can't even explain the situation? Why would he be the only one penalised if everyone else followed?

I really don't think the penalty would be heavy, there is no gain by doing this. Clear case of confusion by the teams and the FIA.

But whatever it is, Lando can show his worth.

Aborted start in these rules means wait to hear what happens next.

@ Darth Piekus: We all know that if Max would have done the same thing, you would be screaming for a penalty

Starting again. Let's see what else can happen.

It's spitting rain. Hopefully it's light.

Terrible start from Lando, but hopefully he can recover.

It's coming back to Lando. Might have been temps.

Someone should let Toto know that traction isnt actually so bad on the merc 😀

3 things are certain in 2024: Taxes, Death and Lando Norris losing positions on Lap 1.
