Farce continues with Sainz penalty.
Maybe they are going back a lap?

This is hilarious. Sainz is going to have a few tailgaters behind him.
5 second pen for a lap that didn’t officially happen.
Ted was spot on

Don’t think so.
So what's the difference now to the last restart?
Why is Max complaining but not Hamilton? Classic.
Completely deserved pen for Sainz. Terrible mistake at the end of a decent race for him.
Sainz got a penalty but that lap didnt happen.
Sainz whining like a bitch on radio. 
Sainz is wank but that penalty is farce.
They won’t actually restart. They’ll drive round in safety car cross the line and be done.
But in fairness it does make sense (conceptually)Yes, but on what basis do they do that now and didn't do it last restart? What's the difference? Race was stopped under red on both occasions...
(It was a rhetorical question. FIA is once again pulling the rules on beads from their arse).
Please please please to wait to wait
This whole thing makes no sense whatsoever.
If Sainz gets a penalty, then the grid order should remain the same surely at the time of the red flag (not saying that's how it should end, saying that penalty is a joke). It just doesn't make sense how any of this is working.
With everything that is happening, should honestly just restart with 2 racing laps remaining again

Preaching to the choir mate. I don’t think there’s anyone, no matter who you support, in this thread who thinks the FIA have any idea what they’re doing.

More like crying
Classic melt down. Kind of see why. He had a good race and it all went to nothing.Please please please to wait to wait
On a side note I was going to fudge some decent points on predictor with Max, Alonso, Stroll and Ocon all in exact places. And 8/10 top 10 right. But alas… now I’m totally fecked.
I don't understand how Alonso can be put back to P3 but also Sainz penalized.
Who’s gonna do a Magnussen a la the last SC restart when he nearly wiped out numerous cars, especially knowing that if you’re within 5s to Sainz you’re scoring points.
Hulkenberg podium denial is the story of his career, close but no cigar.

It did happen. The FIA just have no idea what the positions were when it happened.
Feels like they’re making up the rules again.
What even is the point of this restart
My predictions are all fcked.
fool me once, shame on, shame on you. fool me… you can't get fooled again.
I just want everyone to understand that it has been like this for the past ~4 years and nearly every decision is akin to WWE. And the WDC won under WWE conditions will never be the same.
Sainz should let everyone past if overtaking isn’t allowed just to give them another headache.
Spent 40 minutes fecking around for one lap.
So stupid
Plenty of weeks to cry about it before Azerbaijan now.
A monumental waste of everyone’s time.
aye. the large penised among us saw this as the main issue with 2021. it was always bigger than max v lewis, it was about meddling in a “sport” to derive outcomes. you accepted it then, you’re part of this now.
The decision to standing start on a red flag 2 laps from the end was utterly stupid.
Will this be investigated.
It’s probably just the angle, sensors would make that an auto pen if it was the case I think
Alonso got massively lucky, so he’d do well to show some humility.
Will this be investigated.
Of course not. It’s Max. But I imagine it’s all sensored surely? So if it was too far then it would already have been under investigation.
11 world titles on that podium today …
I have been watching some eSports lately (CS). I think it’s a better spectator sport than Formula1 now. It’s a shame.
I have always loved F1. Been watching since i was 8-9 years old. But the last 2-3 seasons with all these red flags has just made me not care as much.
