One thing that baffles me is that drivers were allowed to race without a drinks bottle installed, yes its not very big (Half a litre) but even that could have helped
Races like Qatar where temps can get ridiculously high should really have those bottles mandated
high cedar
i know im going to get told indy car is not comparable but solutions do exist
drinks bottle should have the same rules as the foam for the headrest it should also be increased in volume
the problem is stopping it becoming tea

That wont happen
Literally impossible as its usually installed next to a bunch of hydraulic lines in the nose, which tend to get very hot

im sure some f1 brains will find a solution

well unless Lance was did not show up after going out of sprint quali he clears article 19 PRESS CONFERENCES, MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES, DRIVERS ACTIVITIES AND NATIONAL ANTHEM

On about the FIA compliance thing? Thats got nothing to do with that. Its about him yeeting his steering wheel and assaulting his trainer after Quali
high cedar
19e) At Competitions where a sprint session is scheduled:
i) All drivers eliminated in Q1 or Q2 must make themselves available for media interviews immediately following the end of each part of the session. In addition, all drivers who participated in Q3, and who are not required to take part in the post-qualifying press conference, must make themselves available for media interviews immediately following Q3.
yea still looking through the rules

Yeeting his steering wheel is just him pissing away at the cost cap, that is what it is. Him yeeting his trainer is assault

Which he managed to get an exemption from... Just as with jewlery
Considering quite a bit of his jewlery is soldered in place and would require surgical input to remove

He just takes stupid risks all the time tbh

Like getting times deleted for track limits

Why should you need to risk track limits
They lose so little to just not risking track limits

Has anyone seen the math for if Perz would lose P2 in the championship?

hamilton is only 30 points away and five races and two sprint races left.
if lewis keep scoring better than perez like he have done in the last four races. it should be possible
last four races perez (2+8+10)/3 ~ 6 position 8 points for 6th position. 5*8+224 = 264 lewis (6+3+5)/3. ~ 4 position. 12 points for 4th.. 5*12+194 = 254 then you have the two sprint races in austin and brazil.
