    Can't find the onboard for the first one but he didn't drift into him. It wasn't a loss of traction where you can give the benefit of the doubt, he deliberately opened the steering wheel to push Norris off.

    Given the speed through that turn and narrow run off, 10 seconds is an extremely light penalty. Black flag would be reasonable as a crash there would be big. Turn 4 was a bit dirty but 5-10 seconds is ok.

    Black flag tends to be a last resort if the behaviour is sustained over time. Think back to KMag in the Miami sprint. How that wasn't a black flag I'll never know. In my opinion, 10 for the off track advantage was fair but the force off track warranted a pit lane drive through as a means to give the position back and then some. Could and should have been applied to a couple of other incidents as well.

    This too shall pass.

    Was max just content with P6 in the end or was his car just not up to it? Once he pitted and took the penalty he never gained on the mercs who were battling for 15 odd laps and remained 10-12 seconds behind them and even Kmag ended up only 4 seconds behind him in the end?

    Shocking driving for the 2nd 10 second penalty. Purely retaliation for norris getting by. No room at all for that in a dangerous sport.

    I hate to see penalties in general and would much rather a gravel trap to solve all track limits nonsense but Max lost the head there yesterday.

    I think it deserved the highest penalty available. He went into the corner with no intention or possibility of making the corner. Considering that max is aware that taking both cars out is an ideal result championship wise, I think it deserved a severe penalty.

    If Norris had attempted an overtake when behind max before the Pitstop, it could have ended very badly. I was having visions of Schumacher Villnueve.

    Delighted for Carlos. He drove a great race. Deserved win. He had am excellent weekend. I really hope Williams can at least give him a car that can be up in the front midfield next year.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    The RB eats tyres from what I can see. Especially with aggressive driving. Verstappen can hang with the Ferrari's and McLaren's but only if he's driving the b*llox outta the car then after a relatively short period of time the tyres aren't up to this anymore so performance drops off considerably.

    The McLaren seems to be very easy on tyres yet still fast.

    Brundle was saying the altitude amplifies the engine advantage some teams have. So maybe why Ferrari and Hass were more comfortable and Redbull found it a bit harder to keep up than usual.
