    Got to say that penalty for leaving a track and gaining an advantage is very sus. If anything it should be for the turn 1 chop in the braking zone

      Max should have had 2 of those penalties in that race. Just encourages him to keep running people off the track

        Turn 1 was not a pen man. See the race starts in COTA for every year and there will be atleast one car being pushed wide in turn 1. Hell in 2015 and 2021, the driver in P2 pushed out the pole sitter at T1. In 2017 and 2018, Hamilton conceded the corner and didn’t try to go side by side which is why he was not forced wide. The nature of the track coupled with cars being on cold tyres always leads to that.

    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.

    Lawson and Colapinto proving themselves again.

    (I really like Valtteri, but come on Sauber, give that 2025 seat to Colapinto please)

    Norris shouldn’t get a pen for leaving the track. Was forced to go off track.

    What he should get a pen for is moving in the braking zone in turn 1

    Leclerc win!!! Ferrari 1-2!

    Lawson going from 19th to 9th has been fantastic. Weird how VCARB gets one driver strategy right and one driver strategy horribly wrong each race.

    Colapinto getting a point and salvaging Williams’ weekend.

    Russell snatches P6 from Perez at the last moment.

    Disasterclass for Gasly and Alpine.

      Standard Vcarb fare at this point. Actually I am surprised that they got the strategy right even for 1 car

    So… if Norris gets a penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage, then Max should get the same penalty?

      Well Verstappen lost a position. How are you justifying the gaining an advantage for max¿?

        He went offtrack to prevent an overtake that would have happened otherwise?

        I know, this is not an established way of using that penalty, but it would be consequential.

          This argument would have only worked if Lando had rejoined behind and then complained that Max pushed him off. Frankly that’s what he should have done - he would have another chance to have a go at max while also potentially have max get a penalty. McLaren really fucked that up

    That overtake moment has to be Norris penalty?

    But the rest of that battle was absolute cinema.
