Max Verstappen won the Monaco Grand Prix of 2021, making most of the opportunity after the pole sitter and Bottas, his closest challenger, retired from the race. Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris completed a very young podium at the principality.

That's not the rule in F1. It seems absurd to change the rules in a reactionary manner.Mogster wrote: ↑22 May 2021, 17:06I really really hope not but the prize is huge so the motive is obvious.

Surely he’d have done it in a place where there was far less risk of big damage to the car.
That’s why I’m suggesting anyone who does this should have their times wiped.
fellas That seems extremely harsh a punishment. Cant say I agree with that at all unless you can unequivocally prove it was an intentional crash. This absolutely doesn’t seem that way to me.Mogster wrote: ↑22 May 2021, 17:06I really really hope not but the prize is huge so the motive is obvious.

Verstappen:You would never do such a crash on purpose. Also you can easily damage your gearbox/chassis with such a crash, which will drop you from your P1 position easily.
Leclerc:I think it makes a difference when a guy makes a mistake and hits the wall or doing it intentionally. If Charles parked there with a broken front wing, it‘s a different story. He just clipped the wall and ended where I ended up twice. It‘s just unfortunate.
If I was doing it on purpose, I would have done it a less bit hard! For now I'm worried about the rear of the car, I hope it's OK, but it doesn't look OK.
Usually? About half a second or about as long as it takes carbon fibre to shatter. Why?
I’m not suggesting deleting Chaz’s time for this offence but maybe a change in the sporting regs is worth looking at for the future.JordanMugen wrote: ↑22 May 2021, 17:08That's not the rule in F1.

Leclec himself said he was waiting for the gearbox inspection by the mechanics.
