May well have done but just don’t think we have the pace to compete with Haas at this track

That is what I'm saying. I notice that we are losing a lot of time in those straights. That drag is very punishing.

No, I agree. P9/10 is our likely finish.

Edit: K-Mag is struggling a bit now, Lando on his tail. Nevermind, 5 sec penalty. All about consolidating P10 for him.

Did Mick Schumacher found his speed after his first points? Norris got a 5 seconds penalty after track limits.

They seem to be penalty happy today giving penalties for the smallest thing. Aparently destroying the race of someone else by punting him aside has the same penalty as track limits.

Shoud they make mandatory the line assist I have on my 100hp car.....
I'm nostalgic of no steward jungle era. Alain and Ayrton "fixed" everything on track by themself.

I can't say I like the stewards with their decisions. Too easy penalties. They should let them race. But what can you expect when you have stewards like Bernoldi who's whole career was destroying Coulthard's race in Monaco back in 2001? Meanwhile Verstappen the golden child has yet to recieve something.

The Steward team should be consisted only by former F1 champions cause they know when to be lenient.

Lando could catch Magnussen, a couple tenth faster per lap in this stint, he can get in within DRS he should be able to get him… He should also get MSC if he can mata in the pace… OCO and RUS are too far away

Track limits is a clear violation and they are not picking who to give those to… Nothing wrong with it

Hopefully Russel gets Ocon too to minimise points differential.

Edit: Lando at risk of another penalty. He really needs to be conservative!

Track limits should have some leniency
