Award for being the only car to be lapped 3 times... I believe that's an improvement for Williams.

It seems that someone in Poland had a lot of time in his hands and really went for it in the vote, lol

All the dutch guys were busy celebrating and all the Italian guys busy protesting. No time to vote

Hooray for the Polish script kiddie that pulled that off!

I was thinking about why Bottas just waved Max through and I wonder if he was actually being quite clever. Consider:-

It was very unlikely he'd hold Max behind him until the end of the race.
Mercedes's closest rival is Ferrari.
By maximising the number of laps Max had to overtake Leclerc (and by minimising engine and tyre heating on the RBR), Bottas increased the chances his rival would lose seven points.

Guess the dutch fans had too much to drin... eh to eat and didn't get to vote for Verstappen.

Any chance before Christmas we know the decision?

Really Turbof1?

You are a moderator right?

While I wait, let me set up myself for failure: I can expect everyone to be good boy/girl and behave whatever the outcome will be, right?

Right?

Either way the respective team will protest and keep it alive until Silverstone!

It's a running gag where I brought up an opinion they delayed the decision to avoid riots, tried too explicitly to avoid calling the dutch fans drunk (which I really wanted to avoid and which certainly was not my train of thought), others poking me I actually did try to insinuate that and just became a laughing gag now.

I'm really not calling the fans there drunk. It was meant as making fun of myself.
