I am speechless. F off FIA. He didn't even touch him and Perez wasn't even in front. That desicion was scandalous.
I don't agree with it, but its not scandalous.
The rule states you leave space and he didn't. Its more important that you do with Gravel.

Again, I dont agree with the decision, but he didn't leave space so he left himself open to the penalty.

Ric is one stopping.

Or, he's gained a lot of positions lol
Daniel’s pace was a function of the cars in front of him… That good thing is that Lando almost has a full PitStop to him…

Daniel is improving his pace too… Running now in the 1:10.1’s… Matching Lando and Bottas

I'm thinking that if he's two stopping still, the undercut will kill his race.

If he's one stopping, he stands to keep 5th.
I thought it was a two stopper for sure… But they are already doing 25 laps on these tires… The two stoppers should be starting to think about it

Many 2 stoppers have stopped.

Are both Maccas ones stopping?

I don’t think the team should have told Lando about the penalty… He might lose concentration and god, was he on it!

He dropped 3 tenth last lap

You can't leave space when you are driving and turning with a formula 1 car. Only if Norris braked harder. But he is on the racing line and he is clearly in front of Perez. The word scandalous of course is a bit exaggerating...

They are getting to Lap 30… If they can push it to lap 32-33… It is a one stop

The 2 stoppers are those that started on the Soft tires… With the exception of Gasly, they are all screwed on a DRS lead by LAT… TSU, VET, STR may be out of it already

Daniel already in the Pits… It was critical for him to be ahead of LAT on that stop!

--- hell, lost a podium to a shitty penalty. Lando deserved a reward for today. Completely different class compared to the rest of the midfield.

Very disappointed with that decision.

Super race by Ric and Lando so far. Norris good for 4th and will fight with Bottas.
