Antonelli for yellow flag infringement but some are saying he lifted before crossing the line.
but isn't that just the Mercedes lift off trick?

Quick question. Are Antonelli and Verstappen also under investigation?
Antonelli for yellow flag infringement but some are saying he lifted before crossing the line. But I hope the FIA doesn't allow this anymore once we get the verdict.
Looks like there was a small lift before last corner but I don't know how it compares to other laps.

But I wouldn't hold my breath.

Idk but what a loophole if Kimi gets away with this. But the FIA needs to enforce it for future races going forward that you need to completely slow down.

All I know is that Lewis got a slam dunk penalty and Ferrari has no new softs or mediums for Leclerc. And he starts on the dirty side of the track which makes it even worse.

Fire Piastri and sign Verstappen. If this team have any common sense and serious about business, they should do that.

I would prefer if they didnt do that to the detrimental of the harmony inside the team. We dont need to hear generic complaining everytime something goes wrong.

Not sure how much you can do if you have two Ferraris following with a split strategy.

Piastri would start in front of Hamilton. Mclaren is no worse off strategically. Hamilton is the biggest threat to Norris tomorrow so Piastri's job will be to hold him up and take him out of it.

dont expect that to hold Hamilton up much given piastri's pace this weekend
