You can’t discuss “overtaking outside of the track” when the car on the inside line was also off track
To me it looked like Lando would’ve gone off track either way, and he wasn’t ahead in the apex.
People on this really be downvoting common sense and facts lmao. Lando was NOT ahead in the apex, and he got a penalty for track limits. Done deal. Y’all McLaren/Lando fans told everyone that illegal rear-wing was just a legal hack, but complain when Max uses a “hack” to get ahead in a corner.
Lando got a penalty he 100% deserved there. And he got off easy too, used to often be like 10 seconds instead of 5. And he didn’t get one for moving under braking either. They had like 3 reasons to penalise him.
Regardless of the apex argument, I just want consistency from the stewards. How is this any different from Sainz v Verstappen on lap 1?
And don’t bring up the lap 1 argument, it wasn’t even turn 1.
