I wouldn't be surprised if he is handed something and less surprised if they take a heavy handed approach.

This has been the Code in all forms of Racing. If you don't own it or drive it, Don't Touch It!!

Max opened the political door by violating printed not negotiable code. He was an idiot lol

SO true. RedBull had protested the rear wing area and he goes and touches. Toto is saying Danke Max! Nice one lol

In the FIA, you touch, you pay, and it's €50k. There you have it. Fork it out Max.

Ever notice how Seb inspects other cars with his hands behind his back? Learn from the best!

abm89 · 11-13-2021, 12:46 PM

Well, that’s the championship most likely. I have no idea how a wing is in spec before qualifying and then not afterwards, but it is what it is. smh

If no one has touched it other than Max how do you blame Mercedes. Its absurd on the surface. Rules apply but there was no ill intent proven at all.

I don’t think Max did anything that would cause it to go out of spec. It looked like he was measuring something. the parts are probably fatigued so they may have come out of spec after the session.

Lewis's sprint however, that was truly a sprint! Able to overcome the DRS train!

Ventruck · 11-13-2021, 05:33 PM

The touching fine is a bit stupid, but the rules were so established already that was on Max not paying attention.

Both front runner teams did their jobs today, although Checo came up a tad short of perfect.
Lewis' run was part balls because he still has the keep the car intact for tomorrow, but yeah the performance gap between MB and everyone else who isn't Red Bull is a bit disturbing.

I am 100% for the fine. If the cars are in Parc Ferme, only the driver/team of the car should be allowed to touch it for getting out of the car and cooling it down. It should 100% be enforced, otherwise you will have drivers tampering with rivals’ cars.

The FIA should have never ignored what was going on in the past. Part of this is clearly in their lane.

WOW, that wouldn't take much of a touch to cause that.

Spooler · 11-13-2021, 07:44 PM

I hope Hamilton just sends it and puts on one hell of a show. I know I would be pissed and be hell bent on just winning it anyways. I would either win it or crash trying.

abm89 · 11-13-2021, 07:54 PM

He put on a show today in the sprint. It looked like 2007!
