There have been a number of incidents in 2019 requiring steward intervention, many of which result in a difference of opinion as to whether a penalty was or was not justified. In this article we look at the actual rules and what punitive measures are available to the race director.
And if it rains and it's changeable conditions? Just tough luck of the draw, ey?
Exactly, how friggin’ exciting would it have been if they all timed it just right !
Or it should be the previous race's pole-sitter should be the first in the queue. Whole lap for yourself for maybe 2 runs each?
Didn't I say this in the last sentence? They easily had a couple of minutes to set a lap, but everyone wanted the slipstream. Then again, everyone going out on the last 2 minutes doesn't make Hulkenberg and Sainz innocent.Restomaniac wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:23Sorry but others could have gone earlier if they didn’t want to miss the line. Waiting till 2 minutes before the flag? Curse on all their houses.tpeman wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:20That was dirty from Hulkenberg, Sainz and Leclerc. Hulkenberg and Sainz for slowing the whole pack down, which may be penalized, Charles for passing Vettel on the final straight before the start of the lap, I think they knew Mercedes were never going to make it to the clock, so it was mega dirty... Can we expect a penalty streak like Formula 3? And why the hell did everyone wait for the exact last 2 minutes, when they had at least 4.
They could all get pinged for being too slow. They were given a time and non of therm were anywhere close.
I'm sure they are, they split the Ferraris, and they have better race pace, and tire life.
Yes, should be fair as its not decided by human
Hamilton will easily beat leclerc, either on track or on strategy without vettel there as a buffer zone. Maybe even bottas will get a sniff. Vettel will be busy fighting off charging verstappen towards the end.
So imagine Hulk doesn’t block? They left the pits with 2 minutes to go which means they would still be all over each other even if they go to the line.dans79 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:31good times don't matter, but when you're blocking people and preventing them from getting by when you're obviously going slow it's a penalty.Restomaniac wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:30Of course the waiting is the problem. Even if they all made it none of them would have made good time as they would have been crawling over each other into turn 1.
I prefer one hot lap for each driver like old days, the championship leader start first! Hell this qualy, wasting our time!
