Absolute Farce. FIA give nothing for tapping out Leclerc, and then give Sainz 5 seconds behind a safety car finish. Horrendous decisions

I agree, 5 sec penalty is just a big joke.

Another drama coming?

Never mind. Will make for great viewing on a Netflix docuDRAMA in 2024

Give what regarding Leclerc? It was a race incident, but if you really want to blame someone, Leclerc is at fault there anyways.

People are saying there is evidence Max was wrongly positioned for the last restart. If so that's a penalty 100%

Max was pointed towards the right lane, but he still seemed inside his box for that last restart. We'll see

[PinkFloydPulse]

That has to be a penalty then… or?

What's so difficult about saying "race has ended these are the results".

Funny that they went for maximum entertainment and ended up with maximum anti-climax.

Because the race distance is the only thing that is absolut, and we should keep that please. The competition is whoever completes this distance the fastest (best) is the winner. Thats F1 since 1950.

What does the rulebook say ?

[wogx]

If so, then Gasly also should receive a penalty!

Well deserved win by Max. Took everything that happened on the shoulders and remained composed.

For me both racing incidents. Scandalous from the FIA

I can’t wait to see how many teams protest the result of this race and the penalty’s

Well leclerc caused his own retirement by turning into Lance mid corner. Lance couldn't have avoided him. Sainz on the other hand did a semi divebomb from behind

What does the rulebook say ?

So the tires can't touch the white lines of the start box; if they do, then it's a penalty ?
