Did he get the penalty for a single infringement?

"What happened here is that Oliver had 3 track limit warnings leading to a black and white flag warning (was informed about this 1-2 laps before the race end). 4th track limit happened at the final lap, meaning a time penalty"

Interesting around 4750m they all in same gear, but the merc is running much more RPMs, but the speed is down.

Mercedes is running very short gears this year for whatever reason.

Actually, I havn't seen this posted, what I have seen is the exact opposite to what you have stated though. Strange.

On more recent times, the, let´s say, "worship" of Lewis considerably diminished on the forum, which is good.

FOM graphics are horrible. They credited MSC with purple S2 for two times and it turns out it´s far from the truth, going by that image. Does anybody know a place to check the best sector times of FPs other than the official, paid, app? On fia.com, they post best sector times of QLF only.

"Worship" of Lewis has always been strictly moderated as far as I can remember. I think you discredit the work that Moderators have been doing.

Ok cool, i agree with this procedure of incurring a penalty

Thats about 20kmh less per 500rpm increase (at that point in data).

Is that gearing?

[PlatinumZealot]

Is the Honda engine the most powerful now? Ferrari has definitely made a step but in every replay I'm seeing the RedBull with higher top speeds than the others.

Yeah, could be a shorter 7th gear.

Formu1a.uno did an analysis on it. I'd have to search for it but most of the teams were fairly close with Mercedes being very short and I think McLaren and Alpine running longer gearing.

I think you’ll get your answer within an hour from now.

Not just that but on race sims, as far as I saw, RB were in the high 290's, Ferrari and Merc were below 290

Qualifying is going to be a nail biter!

I'm close to declaring my support for the underdogs, yet again. HAAS, Alfa and Alpha.

Let's see who the top 10 are before the European leg resets the grid with upgrades!

Correct me if I am wrong but Honda's 2021 engine was ment for 2022 right? It was always designed for the new fuel but they pushed it forward a year?

They then had an extra year to work on the fuel while also optimising the engine

It is a bit strange, they changed the engine rules to limit development due to Honda leaving but now they are not leaving.
