Second year btw.
hollow nimbus

car splitting in half was a surprise
woven stone
Surprise, your budget for upgrades went up in flames.

oopsie
high bough
Idk what they expect. Max was infamous for crashing too.
His recent results prove he is a more than capable driver.
woven stone
Mick's peaks sadly were not enough to undo the negatives so far.
Max was something else in terms of pace almost instantly and is not showing any signs of slowing that down for so many years now, so they could just write off some mistakes for that.
hollow nimbus
Can they take Latifi instead of Mick ?
woven stone
Not gonna happen, Latifi is flying straight out of F1.
hollow nimbus
he did a good performance this week-end 
high bough
I hope he still gets a seat. He is an F2 champ after all.

Any news on RB budget cap?

Ive heard its an absolute shit tire to use, but still no excuse to not use it in conditions like this
And instead of fia pushing on and letting teams figure out they need to use the wet we just red flag until inters

They're forcing wets now, finally.

Finally at least a lap of racing in the rain with wets.
Also, there was a tractor in the middle of the track. 💀

Totally not a problem with the system. Clearly the people are the problem

Even FIA got cost capped. 🗿
pearl monolith
yeah they literally made a rule after spa so this shit wouldnt happen
and broke their own rule the first fucking chance they got
vital barn
Full points...
high bough
Wording of rules apparently states if the race resumes after a red flag then full points can be awarded
According to Sky
jolly prawn
checking reddit comments, since race ended normally, aka under green flag, then full points
pearl monolith
the fuck kind of wacky rules did they make
analog stump
can be and will be are different so fia in the right?
jolly prawn
so race distance doesnt matter ?
pearl monolith
so its only if its redflagged before the end that that shit counts?
thats so weird man
high bough
Yea, if its red flagged and never resumed then those % rules apply
Otherwise i guess not. Seems stupid to me but ok

i was lowkey hoping perez would ram leclerc at the end for the shits and giggles
