São Paulo Grand Prix (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) | November 12-14, 2021

graniteharbor502 said:It isn't right, and it never has been. Yet, it seems this becomes the standard procedure whenever the defending driver manages to claim the inside line. I don't recall seeing Lewis penalized when he pulled a similar move on Rosberg during that opening corner at the start:

We all know that Max doesn't pull any punches, but this attempt to paint Hamilton as some sort of saint is nothing short of hilarious.

Forget those clips. Give us a shot where we can actually see the steering wheel.☕

That’s exactly what I was getting at!

😁😛

Jacob Castillo70 said:Toto Wolff is absolutely livid today.

Wait, did they actually find some kind of Borgov warp drive hidden in Lewis's car?

Max is about to get absolutely wrecked by Joe because someone cut him off on the track—that’s a massive blow to his ego...

That’s what happens when you decide to plow through a pedestrian at a crosswalk—especially one with the walk signal active.
Just some friendly advice—don't let it happen again.
🤦

“Quote: We will look at every single bit of tape that falls off,” stated the head of Mercedes-Benz motorsport.

“I can give you my word that we’ll be digging deep and asking some very tough questions during the upcoming races.”

"This is now the third consecutive time we've been hearing rumors that Red Bull Racing was granted permission to tweak components of their rear wing while under parc fermé conditions."

If they’d given him a five-second penalty for yesterday's circus instead and added that Belgium win on top, he'd be 8 points closer to catching up than he is now. People would be singing his praises everywhere. But yeah, I guess the FIA loves calling a Safety Car whenever they feel like giving Lewis a fighting chance...

James, buddy, what on earth are you smoking? 🙂

Hamilton got disqualified—he's starting from the back now.

And even Mercedes changed Lewis's 🤷

Fine, I’ll accept the penalty for Max—purely for the sake of formality since he didn't follow the rules.
But when are we going to see a penalty for the other team? Their blatant disregard for the regulations was already an issue yesterday.
Or maybe they just ate the rulebook.

Asking for a friend.

Does anyone know what the track temperature is right now? Is there any data available somewhere?

Both of those situations definitely deserved a penalty.

As a fan, I don't really care about their excuses regarding these incidents, or whether they’ve dealt with something similar earlier in their careers. Of course they're going to defend themselves—drivers always look out for themselves, just like team principals do.
The comparisons he made before were just as pointless.

DNF... honestly, fair enough

I noticed the air temperature is sitting at about 73°F, though I've no clue what the track surface is doing.

By the way, I have a feeling if Lewis gets too close to Max, things are going to get heated. Max isn't just going to let him pass without a fight.

They certainly should have been penalized. However, I didn't notice any of the armchair experts clamoring for a penalty against Hamilton back when that occurred. I am not presenting these examples in an attempt to justify such maneuvers, but rather to point out that Hamilton himself has engaged in similar actions. And yet, he went unpunished.

With this new engine, he really should be finishing ahead of Max.

What does it even mean if he needs three straight wins just to bump Max down to third?😁

Amo Maxic, go wreck someone tonight. Just dive bomb whoever's in your way, I don't care.🍿

Forza Fernando 🙏 🙏 😍

🙏 total clowns this time around.

The only thing I can't wrap my head around is who they actually thought they were talking to when they claimed there were illegal cars on the starting grid. 😂

Sprint race or the main event?

Edit: …specifically where Hamilton starts at the very back
