Ferrari going for a two stop, I mean they have nothing to lose.

If Vettel did not leave the box it's not a false start.

[DiogoBrand]

Regardless of what they decide, that's the worst team of stewards ever. Still no decision from lap 1 incident, no investigation on Albon, no penalty for a false start.

They mentioned it was Tom Kristensen as head of stewards this race, if it is, I would've expected a lot better from him.

Rules are different for ferrari.. SHAME!!!!! Rai 10sec stop VEttel nothing! boooooooooooooo

[RZS10]

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.

It wasn't quite clear on the illegal 240p stream watched over yemeni internet

I stand correct. I am wrong.

This is an automated system, if you don't move enough it doesn't detect it. See Bottas in Austria in 2017.
If it detectes movement you get a penalty.

Yes. Terrible day for the stewards so far.

So it's fine to destroy Max's race as long as you are in red. Gotcha. GOODER HARD3R RAC1NG!!!11!

[Sniffit]

So the VER/LEC incident will be looked at after the race. Silly, just let them race, the results shouldn't be decided by people in a back office.

[Sierra117]

But Lec decided Max's race. Why is he allowed to decide someone else's race? That's why we have (had) rules regarding space and all that.

[matt_b]

Why did Mercedes leave Lewis out and then not switch to the hard tyres, bizarre strategy there.

[El Scorchio]

Looks like Hamilton is the one screwed by strategy rather than Bottas!

Ah well. Bottas deserves a bit of luck.
