F1 2019 season

That was ridiculous. Shame the McLaren wasn’t quick enough for the upset
 
Total fiasco. They have to find someway around this towing farce on this track.
 
:lol: Can I get a refund on my F1 subscription? Imagine having paid money to go to the track today.
 
Be interesting to see what the stewards do with penalties - Hulkenberg's nailed on to get one, could take them ages to figure out the rest. They might not get time to review whether Bottas and Vettel's laps should be deleted...
 
Just a mess, Cutting the first corner to not lead the pack then the rest not wanting to overtake and blocking. Vettel was off the track on his first lap so shouldn’t even be allowed, Bottas didn’t make the flag before it went red but keeps his time.

Shambles of a session
 
Seb's not going to be happy with Charles for that overtake.

What was Charles playing at? He should have kept the rest behind and let Seb go for it to try and eat a front row lock out. Ferrari are fecking dumb at times.
 
If you’re Le Clerc then fine, but all the others wtf were they thinking. With all the metrics and data, how could the likes of Vettel and Hamilton let it happen that they don’t get the chance to take pole. Madness.

Well the issue I think actually was that it was Vettel who was due to the tow and so it was actually meant to be to Vettel’s benefit.

The whole fiasco should first and foremost have been ended by the team in the garage who should have had all the data to know they were far too close to be going that slow. And then by the likes of Lewis and Seb who had the most to lose from this situation.
 
Personally think they should all be demoted to the last ten spots on the grid!

Hulkenberg and Stroll really instigated that though, if they were going to isolate to true culprits. But then having said that, they were all responsible from that point on.
 
The F3 drivers all got penalties for same incident. Lets see if the FIA will be consistent.

If that was their intention, Charles should have been out of pit before Seb. They fecked up somewhere and there's their race strategy messed up.

Lewis will be winning this tomorrow easily. Charles doesn't have Seb helping him fend off Lewis this time and Seb isn't going to help him out after he messed up his qualifying.
 
He was actually get on with it and passed the flag. Except him and Leclerc, others should get penalties.

He and Stroll backed the pack up after Rettifilo and they all reacted to Hulkenberg. They then blocked cars trying to get through onto Curve Grande, until Sainz got told to put his foot down by his engineer.

Everyone behind them can take an equal share of the blame too in my opinion. It's their fault they left it too late.

It's not about getting people over the line or not for me, that's just poor planning if they miss. The issue i have is people blocking and packing up the field, and not giving enough room for people to pass. It was only until the exit of Curve Grande and just before the advertising bridge did the field separate to let people through.
 
Bit weird that no one in the top 10 got penalised for yesterday, a Ferrari driver getting away with something in Monza isn't exactly a surprise but Bottas and Hulkenberg can consider themselves very lucky I think. Be interesting to see how Ferrari play it today, sounds like the team aren't happy with Leclerc after yesterday so wouldn't be surprised to see Vettel get the better strategy. He might not need it anyway - should be able to clear the Mercs in the first couple of laps and his tyre management has been better than Leclerc's pretty much all season.
 
Will there be penalties during the race if drivers cross the line in the last corner, or was that a qualifying thing only?

Edit: they just said 3 times gets you a warning and then if you do it once more you are penalized. They didn’t say what the penalty was though..
