So has russell.
"We don't want to see that happen again. If it's a second time offender, the punishment should be even greater than what is perhaps a fair punishment, if it happens two years in a row.
"I trust in the FIA, I think Mohammed (Ben Sulayem) is a great force there as well. They won't let anyone get away with anything that shouldn't have happened under their watch, so I've got faith in them."
Its Redbull again isnt it?

I have read that RB say these will make the car 2 tenths faster
Ricciardo hype is unreal. It's like he was ten times champion when he left and not one of the worst drivers on the grid last year.
Surely if its Red Bull again and they don't get some major punishment then it's a clown sport?

Alpine - you talking to me?
Wouldn't that make footie the biggest clown sport of them all?
They mentioned "sporting sanctions" for the offender(s), so if it is them, then i think the entire paddock would expect and demand something huge.
If its RB and they don't get punished with smth more than slap on wrist ,they would be a revolt, especially with how the season is going
Mental. Have to have a laugh at mercedes expense though. 18mths of slim sidepods and it turns out they should have mounted them horizontally not verticially.I have read that RB say these will make the car 2 tenths faster
They are really slim on the RB now.
Seeing as they have already started developing next years car, they can experiement for the rest of the season and try bits for next years car.
As much as i dislike helmet marko and horner, it would be a blow for verstappen that he doesnt deserve as hes been driving really well and doesnt need another championship tainted with "only won because RB cheated".
Im not sure what would be a sufficient punishment if it was them. The grid would want something that slows them down and lets others catch up.
Wouldnt happen (but would be awesome to watch), but if they voided the points for constructors and drivers championship for RB for this season, then the latter half of the season would currently be a title race between Alonso and Hamilton (on current drivers championship standings). Sainz, leclerc, russell would fancy their chances as well. It would be glorious to watch.
Drive to Survive would have a helluva season to cover then as well.
Horner already had a pop at them before the season started, wondering would the Mercs be in cap trouble last season with all the changes made to the shit box.

As for RBs new side pods, bit like a letter box.
The most I can see is some big penalty with points for constructors. Don't think we'll see such with WDC. Either way, are there any actual rules for what the penalties should br in case of budgets over the limit, or its what fia deems necessary? If there are no tangible penalties that hurt , even if it is indeed something like an "accounting error" then cost cap would be basically dead. The only way is very detailed penalty code for every type of infraction, that everyone agrees on.
I'm just hoping it's McLaren in a way bc the smugness of Horner towards Zac would be hilarious. Otto would probably have an orgasm. Not that I think any driver deserves to suffer the consequences of their team screwing up behind the scenes though.
That ship has long since sailed.
Ricciardo was once talked about as a potential champion. If he gets his form back he can be up there with all but a couple of the grid.
Having Ricciardo back is perfect, another drama to watch closely. If Mick Schumacher would have replaced Sargeant it would have been even better to spice things up!
The attention and pressure will be immense on Ricciardo, will he keep smiling if he gets beaten convincingly by Tsunoda?
I just can’t believe it’s RB. They were so far ahead, it would be pure idiocy to cheat again, after they’d already got away with it the year before.
I like him, brings some fun to the grid, but he wont make AT a whole lot better, he may get them the odd point or 2 , but not much more.
It’s stupid if it’s RB. If it is it might only be legacy decisions which rolled to this year whilst they investigated the previous year. They are so far ahead they could probably stop development for a year and still be winning.
I think he’s great entertainment, a genuinely fun driver. Won’t impact the money end of the standings but he will enjoyable for the sport.
Perez binned it straight away in FP1. Pressure really getting on top of him now, especially with the DR return?
Oh dear Perez
Putting himself under immense pressure
Putting himself under immense pressure
The second he thought he could challenge max (a laughable thought) it all went wrong for him. Put himself under unnecessary pressure and has absolutely fecked it.
perez showed during his stint with hamilton that he wasn’t an elite driver. mexican money has kept him in f1.
Raining now, Bottas says undriveable ?
Rain is not that bad
Rain is not that bad
DaniRic to RB
Perez to AT
Perez to AT
It is a possibility, but not till 2024 I would have thought.
OK Perez is in a bad spell, but would a DR be an improvement, would he get podiums, I like him, but for me he is not WC good.
Rb don't need another championship level driver though. But they do need a driver who goes into q3 every time.
Horner sounds pissed.
Would love to be a fly on the wall, during the conversation with Perez.

Another red flag, Sainz hits the barrier.
Gotta love perez, RB put new sidepods on car which will mean some tweaks to the floor and perez bins it to show everyone the floor changes.
Thank you sergio.
Thank you sergio.
Yeah Perez is really making a mess of things. Again.
Perez ready for FP2, all eyes are on him.
AM got a new rear wing?
Only asking because they had it covered untill just before it took to the track.
