How has Perez not yet gotten a penalty for track limits? I thought for sure he’s left the track more than 3 times.
He’s given the positions back, which is basically the consequence. Overtakes outside of track limits aren’t legal, but the stewards generally just order the position returned to the driver who was ahead before the driver left the track.
I thought track limits were track limits though? Even if a position/advantage isn’t gained.
No, you don’t get track limits penalties for going off-track if you lost time doing so
Often the stewards will say they won’t be strict at certain corners. This lets the drivers carry additional speed through those corners and go off on the outside.
But they certainly will hand out penalties for repeated offenses at corners they haven’t okayed, because the main reason drivers repeatedly go off at a corner is because it is faster to go off at that corner.
In that case they gain time. If someone is repeatedly pushed off at a corner at loses time every time, they will never get a track limits penalty for that.
This is the part where I say I’m not an expert on Formula 1 rules. You’d have to ask someone far smarter than me.
Stewards should have given him a warning for track limits for sure
So it’s 4 DRS trains so far.
The entire track is a DRS train
The only chance Ferrari have to win this race is crash out Max. Let’s be honest here
They’re definitely not going to win on pace. Hopefully Ferrari can make the better strategy calls (lol)
Happy the two Ferraris finished that race in one piece. Those last couple laps were intense. I’m always happy to see two drivers from the same team battle, but that was something else. Congrats to Max for the 10 wins in a row.
I’m fairly certain the McLarens will pass Albon, but I hope Albon stays in the top 6.
Albon has great speed on the straights, but his tires are getting old, now.
If anyone can stretch those tires it’s Albon.
🥱🥱🥱😴😴😴
I’m excited to see the new and innovative strategies Ferrari will use to completely fuck up their race.
Switch Leclerc and Sainz back and forward and then double stack them.
Nah just see if Leclerc can use the kerb to get enough to air to stack himself right on top of Sainz, then get a 2-3 finish that way.
And forget to get the tires ready.
Oh wait, the pits are ok, the strategy is logical. Time for the drivers to fight each other on cold hards.
Edit: this is the thing I dislike about Max’ dominance. Other drivers have given up on winning so hard they’d rather fight their teammates for a chance at a podium. And I do cheer for Max as he’s Dutch but has a Belgian mother. (And I wish good things for Ferrari because of Schumi nostalgia and because Red cars are pretty)
gg wp see you next week
Leclerc’s performance the last laps laps was dismal. He completely lost his head, heavily overdrove his car and tires in corners and under braking and losing it entirely a couple of times.
I think he’s a bit frustrated. Ferrari have kept going backwards in his time there, and it’s got to hurt to see Max, who he kept up with almost 1:1 in all the junior formulas, winning everything and taking every record.
But yeah, his driving at the end was abysmal. The tifosi would have lost it if he took out Sainz in T1 of the final lap
Russell’s already 7s ahead of the car behind him, negating the penalty.
It seems like pitted for the Hards way earlier than everyone else. Curious to see if it helps them or not.
This year’s hards were last year’s mediums, right?
Are these hards expected to last the rest of the race?
The tyre compounds are selected on a per race basis, yeah? But yeah I think the hards are supposed to last roughly 30 laps.
Perez not able to pull away from Leclerc, and losing to Sainz
Aaand Max got past Hamilton who still has to pit.
Masterclass drive by Max. Hamilton is washed-out.
