    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 corner straight 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.

    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.

    Haas holding steady with 7th and 8th. Kmag’s keeping up with the Mercs. Impressive stuff so far.

    Gnarly. Seems like both are ok thankfully.

    Yet another incident for Williams. Team desperately needs a break 🙏🙏

    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.

        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.
