He must have had a slow outlap on the hards.
I think they have good grounds for an appeal..PinkFloydPulse wrote: ↑19 Mar 2023, 21:16I wonder if this could be appealed by AM... Yes, it was strategic from Merc, but FIA should have also seen it even better than Merc and did nothing until the end of the race... I mean, it happened on lap 18/50 ... I am 100% sure Alonso would have made up a 10 sec gap to Russel if he knew what was going on. Good thing at least was his last lap and 0.3 gap to Hamilton... But FIA is a joke, proper and utter joke... Silver lining: car is number 2 on merit pace wise... Epic jump from AM...
So the FIA just opened themselves up to a big can of worms.For those who say that even touching the car is a penalty.

totally inconsistent rules just killing the sport for the past years
I also am very.......angryyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Don't you just love it when you close the race broadcast after the podiums and find out on the internet within minutes that the race result has been changed due to some arbitrary FIA bullshite? Why even bother watching teh races at this point when you need to check the race results online to make sure you didn't miss anything. Absolute amateur hour at FIA.
Even more recent example.. Verstappen Brazil 2022.. front jack touches car no penaltyRedNEO wrote: ↑19 Mar 2023, 23:02I think they have good grounds for an appeal..PinkFloydPulse wrote: ↑19 Mar 2023, 21:16I wonder if this could be appealed by AM...

I sincerely hope this is not the case. One mercedes team denying another mercedes team the 100th victory of their driver, via the judges table.Chanman141 wrote: ↑19 Mar 2023, 20:57That’s strategy for you, Merc knew Alonso could pull that gap so waited as late as possible to make the dispute
