Where was that mercenary hanging out before Maestro got hit with his penalty?
Just like every other race so far—Maestro is right behind.
He's 13 seconds behind Maestro, and that's even with his pit stop already out of the way. 😁
Yeah, right. Like Maestro would've pulled it off if he hadn't gotten penalized for that "brilliant" pit stop where he decided to change his own tires in 12 seconds. 😍
Edward Howard2 said:It’s easy to play general after the race is over and claim Maestro didn't shine today. But let's look at the facts: before that penalty hit, he was ahead of Kimi Raikkonen. Since Kimi finished fourth, we’ll never actually know where he would've landed if he hadn't been slapped with a penalty he didn't even cause. Would he have just scraped fourth, or would he be standing on the podium in third? That penalty completely wrecked his rhythm and tanked his final result. Honestly, without dealing with Verstappen, Perez, and all that nonsense, he wouldn't even be fighting for scraps right now—he'd probably be up there battling the Ferraris for a podium spot.
I see some people are still living in a total fantasy land...😁
That was one hell of an interesting race. Especially that whole mess with the penalty...
This is hands down the biggest officiating disaster the FIA has ever pulled. 🙄
I’m generally against penalizing drivers for stuff like this, but if they’re handing out 10-second stop-and-go penalties and 10-place grid drops this season, then Ricco deserves it. That wheel didn't even fly off the car, and he wasn't even out of the pits yet. Total overkill.
So, a five-second penalty just for putting the mechanics at risk during the start? Seriously? 🤦
Ferrari definitely deserves some kind of draconian penalty after that race. 😳
