The intro was top-notch as usual, and I noticed you actually put some effort into the spelling this time!

How many times am I going to have to dig this link out?

Go ahead and keep making fun of me, losers! neonfox65 is absolutely crushing it!
Whiting explained that the incident had no influence on the penalty that was given for the later tangle with Valtteri Bottas at the same corner.

“They were unconnected,” said Whiting. “The 'joker', as you put it, was cutting the chicane, not actually gaining a place, but staying in front by virtue of cutting the chicane. Which is an advantage of sorts.

“We told the teams that we would normally give the driver one free one, unless of course, let’s just say, he cut the chicane the first time and gained five seconds and kept it, then we wouldn’t let him have that one.

For the crew up above arguing about how many points Sebastian Vettel actually dropped—the Brits have gone to the trouble of crunching the numbers for the last two seasons:

Bottas snagged fastest lap, coefficient 6.?
I guess he'll probably be sitting on softer tires than everyone else by the end of the race. hm.

Thanks, man. Finally seeing some actual value from you. 😁
I guess Mario went off the deep end...

Honestly, I couldn't care less who was designing for McLaren back in 2004. That year was really only relevant because of how much Honda dominated the podium, you know what I mean?
I keep seeing this number floating around online—99 wins attributed to Rory Byrne.
As for Adrian Newey, I can't seem to find a grand total, but I did find this quote:
His career at Williams ended with his cars winning 59 race victories
Red Bull has 55 wins
TR 1 win
So, if you add those up and throw in the McLaren wins, tell me: what kind of three-digit number are you actually coming up with?

Alright, since you couldn't stick to the "most successful" claim, you pivoted to "greatest"... give me a break.

Newey’s sitting pretty with ten Constructors ' Championships He Has won more Than Any other designer and is The only designer to have won constructors ' titles with Three different formula One teams, while Byrne has seven.

Who could possibly be more successful than him? I mean, even Chapman doesn't hold a candle to him.

ha, ha, ha!

Don't believe everything you see on TV!
That shakedown went down on Sunday, just a day before the official testing kicked off.

Come on, give us a full report. 🎉

Hey, check out this link for all the deep dives and investigations.
It’s honestly pretty grim. 🤦
edit: Looks like some of the numbering got skipped.

I just don't get why Valtteri Bottas didn't pick up a penalty for that.

Just a racing incident, really. He basically just screwed himself over.

for the rule-followers out there:
To keep things from getting messy before the safety car finally ducks back into the pits, once those lights go dark, drivers have to keep it steady. That means no sudden lunges, no slamming on the brakes, and nothing else sketchy that might put someone at risk or mess up the restart flow.
and about those lights:
Once the Race Director gives the green light for the safety car to head off, the process stays just as strict. At the start of its final lap the safety car will turn off its orange flashing lights. The drivers need to stay lined up in formation, but they’re all aware that once the next lap kicks off, it’s full-on racing again.

2. Or maybe they just decided to compensate by being way too soft on Sebastian Vettel.

If you'll indulge me—and honestly, you probably won't, but hey, worth a shot!

Don't bother.

I mean, he was braking like a maniac right as he was exiting the corner, and then he just coasted for a bit too. You can't be doing that; it's dangerous as hell and should’ve earned him a penalty.
But since Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are basically untouchable, I guess he gets off scot-free.

I’m honestly just as confused as everyone else about how they handle those DNFs. One minute they say the race was 90% complete, and the next, they’re counting it as finished even if the guy pulled out two laps before the checkered flag.
