Another race ruined by the idiotic decision of the stewards to penalise Perez I don't know how much these idiots are paid but I think even peanuts would be too much. The problem with giving people power (but no resposibility) is that they are then hell bent on using that power.
In my mind I see Ferrari as the real second best team. That being said, I thought Russell has a good race. I haven't seen any other comments but I believe this is the second consecutive race ruined for Sainz by track problems. Do the FIA not employ track inspectors? |

RBR are facing a $7.4 million entry fee for 2024.

In at least one of the post-race interviews Perez said it was unfair because basically if you are diving for an overtake like that "you are out of control"....which doesn't seem like the best excuse for failing to make the corner and running an opponent off the track. At least when Verstappen does it you know its deliberate, rather than having run out of talent..... |

Gotta be the time right? Also think RB are serving their previous season budget penalty next year so they will have even less wind tunnel and CFD time then their 1st place finish allows..for a team like Merc who have a lot of catching up to do perhaps development time would have been more useful in those efforts? |

Well obviously I'm totally out of step with everyone else this time as I thoroughly enjoyed the race. I also disagree with morninggents over the Perez/Norris incident. Perez missed the apex by a country mile. Lando had given him a huge amount of room but he couldn't keep the car under control. He then produced another lame excuse for another bit of lame driving. I used to have a lot of respect for Checo, especially his ability to make tyres last far longer than others, but most of this season has been a disaster. I'll take another step out of line and predict he won't be in the car next year.

I have not seen any reference to running the car too low, except for your post. On the other hand one of the commentators on Ch 4 stated that the track surface had been 'planed' where the bump was between sessions.

Running your car too low is the only thing that causes it to bottom out over bumps lol!

The only reference that has been made to the car bottoming out and causing the incident has been your claim - that is unsubstantiated other than by adding 'lol' to the post. |

In a midfield team Perez was great on tires but once in a top team he cannot hold a candle to the best like Ver, Ham or Alonso on tire preservation - it shows what makes a driver truly great driver and how easy it is to overlook this when they are always at the front |

Yes, it caused the rear tyres the slip, causing tyre smoke. Yes, they planed the circuit overnight (not because of some car failure, rather obviously). Yes, Fred said it bottomed out. No, I don't think they issued a press release for it. |
