2019 Japanese Grand Prix - Suzuka, Oct 11 - 13

The same team helped Lewis in Singapore get over it

Did that cost the team a 1-2 too?

Mercedes obviously thought that Hamilton could overtake Vettel on the Softs at the end and they wanted to gift Bottas a win, rightly so, because he’s the perfect wingman.

I wouldn't even say they gifted it to him, Bottas could probably have finished the race with 1 stop as well. Same as in Hamilton's case, it was just an unnecessary stop to secure the WCC

Attempted murder by the FIA.

Check around the 15 second mark. That piece was much bigger than I thought at the time.

Holy hell, I didn't realize it riped Lewis's mirror off.

Any reason why Lec didnt get a black flag for driving 2 laps with the front wing like and having it disintegrate into Hamilton?

Yep, good example of Ferrari International Assistance in action. Love it or hate it? Doesn't matter just live with it. I think LeClerc just moved the margin between hard racing and a fault towards the dark side.

The other drivers will start hardening there style. More clashes and crashes.

Got a new title for the 2020 season: "F1 destruction derby. Don't miss the dead defying actions. See it in 3D and relive it from all onboard angles with F1 live TV...."

back to FIA:
1. what happened to the onboard footage of the incident. A glitch?
2. And no decision for an incident on lap 1. Because its to close to the finish and that doesn't give the stewards time to make a decision.

For all the other incident they could make a verdict.....

every now and then they just need to deliver some hard facts supporting Halo

Seriously? Gonna twist this into a halo bash fest now too? It would've gone through the halo to begin with. And would've caused serious damage. It ripped the wing mirror right off

[Zarathustra]

Remember when 130R was scary?

Leclerc should have been black flagged, that debris could have splintered into spectators. Stewards should be ashamed.

FIA has entered into braindead state with regards to handling Leclerc's driving antics. He was let off the hook in Monza and today he destroyed Max's race, ignored team's instruction to box and could have caused potential safety damage to Hamilton. That is way too much to be ignored.

But they are stupid enough to penalize Gunther steiner for causing f***** "Moral Injury".

[El Scorchio]

Stewarding is really poor of late. Multiple inexplicable or contradictory decisions.

A certain team seems to be getting the rub of the green at the moment as well.

Seriously agree. Poor Charlie Whiting is turning in his grave. His replacement is a fing joke.

Hardly surprising when they have a TV presenter and his massive TV as expert council

that wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Obviously this should have been a clear penalty for Leclerc/Ferrari

Ah Okay sawry.

[MtthsMlw]

Overall a 15s penalty for Leclerc. 5 for the clash with Verstappen and 10 for driving with a damaged car.
