Track Map
Verstappen is an idiot who only knows how to drive and start in first.
Edit: both RBs drive like they’re alone on the track
At least Perez made it past the first
cornerstraight this time.Aaaand he picked up a penalty already. This man…
Perez was wayyy off his grid position.
The interaction between Perez and his race engineer was comical.
Smooooooth operator
VER needs to be DSQ-ed. Guy is fucking dangerous with his red mist.
Fucking finally, 2x 10s penalty!

Unfortunate. Uneventful end to his 400th race weekend.
Contact between Lawson and Perez. Perez has a small hole on his right sidepod.
Another 10s penalty for Verstappen wow.
Norris gaining slowly on Leclerc. He has 15 laps – plenty of opportunities to try and overtake.
Let’s go!.. Well…soon
Haas holding steady with 7th and 8th. Kmag’s keeping up with the Mercs. Impressive stuff so far.
Ferrari benefits again from the VER-NOR sparring.
Gnarly. Seems like both are ok thankfully.
Yet another incident for Williams. Team desperately needs a break 🙏🙏
10 seconds penalty? That seems kinda inconsistent compared to last race.
And another 10 for overtaking and gaining advantage. Howcome now it’s 10 seconds, and not last week?
I don’t think a penalty is undeserved, but I thought the first 10 seconds were 2 times 5 combined for both incidents or something. It seems very excessive at this point. They essentially killed the most interesting part of the race with this.
Because VER doesn’t learn otherwise.
Learn what? He’s not a robot, he does make mistakes sometimes. The real problem is the rules the FIA set up that leads to these kind of incidents. And they’re being insanely inconsistent when punishing drivers. Also, Lando would’ve just taken back the position within a few laps anyway.
I think it should have been 5 seconds for the first incident and 10 for the second.
