Fantastic!: hopefully Hamilton penalty incoming will then leave Leclerc v verstappen front row!!

More likely Kimi gets a penalty than Lewis :pac:

I missed Q1 so what exactly is Hamilton being investigated for ?

Turn 3 ran up the inside and went straight across the corner onto the run off on the far side as Kimi came along behind him
Hamilton was on a slow down lap

Vettel blocked Sainz here in Q2 last year, both got into Q3 and Vettel still got a penalty.

That Hamilton incident is surely a stonewall penalty, he drove across the ******* apex in front of a car on a flying lap. Russell should be getting one as well for the Kvyat incident, that was dangerous.

How long will they take to make the penalty decisions


Also Not sure it would be Danii going up if Gasly was to be replaced. Pretty sure he can match max and that's not what Redbull want. They just want someone a bit closer than Gasly is to run interference . I do still think its way too soon for that decision to be made . Redbull aren't really knocking on the door for wins yet. When they get to that level Gasly would certainly need to be caught up by then

Hamilton visits stewards in 30 minutes

Anything other then a grid penalty is a farce.

Can see him getting a 3 place penalty

Just watched it there now..... It was a little unfortunate where it happened. Only thing he could of done to avoid impeding Raikonen would of been to just stop completely.

I reckon it'll be a reprimand, keeps 2nd. Beats LeClerc into the first corner, drives off into the hills.

Russell 3 place grid penalty for impeding Kvyat in Q1. No complaints, that was a slam dunk

Hamilton receives 3-place grid penalty and 1 penalty point for impeding Raikkonen

This race just got very interesting...

I think the Russell penalty was rather harsh. He was at the tail end of a train of slower cars all on a slow lap. He had positioned his car correctly so what else could he have done to prevent a collision? The fault lay entirely on Toro Rosso for not informing Kvyat of traffic up ahead. I presume they had all the necessary data available to them regarding track positions of other cars.

Hamilton penalty was another slam dunk, dithering across the whole bloody corner from apex to outside. The grid tomorrow should hopefully bring some unpredictability to the outcome. Tired of Mercedes wins

Fingers crossed

Not a great circuit for passing unfortunately. .....
