Verstappen getting upset with the taste of his own medicine there.

Also, clearly it’s ok to jump the start with no punishment now? Seems to be the rule in the last few races.
It’s not because Raikkonen got pinged for exactly that this season IIRC.
Russia iirc?

Finally 10 laps in they are investigating....

That’s still a let off. If penalised he’s not going to lose anywhere near as many places now as he would if they’d done this 5-7 laps ago.

Stewards not having the best day today what with this and the other incidents.

Don’t think he did. Someone did it in Sochi with no punishment if I recall correctly?

I stand corrected! Thanks. Didn’t recall him actually getting penalised for that. Well this should be a slam dunk then.

What about Albon on Norris? To me that was clearly the worst incident of the race.

Maybe even though there were SOME angles that showed he appeared to false start, the stewards think there COULD have been another angle that might show he didn’t, so they couldn’t be sure....

Must be the same guys from Monza then.

I think he said, MY car is moving heavily under braking. Don't understand the hate towards Max here, this time he did nothing wrong. Just a sour racing incident.
