That’s fair enough as I say I’m not saying he shouldn’t be sanctioned but it needed to be proportionate.Verstappen fined €50,000.

If it had been a different driver, different circumstances i.e. not Hamilton or 2 competitors involved in a title challenge the fine would have been nowhere near €50k.That’s fair enough as I say I’m not saying he shouldn’t be sanctioned but it needed to be proportionate.
I don't think they're dragging their feet but they may have a very technical report to write explaining their decision.EUR 50k. Well, that was all a bit silly and blown up over such a trivial matter.
OK - next please, the important one. Why are the stewards dragging their feet on DRS decision?
Nightmare. It was always likely as soon as they took the wing off.Hamilton disqualified.
Yeah good point.
I think any argument will be thrown out though. How can Max, with one hand, alter something designed to take many many tonnes of load at 200mph
I reckon it’ll be : Hamilton DQed from qualy so pushed to the back. But as you say that’ll mean a wing change so puts him in the pit lane.
Max will get a warning and possibly but unlikely a fine.
Rules are rules I guess.What a schit way to end the title fight, talk about it an anti climax.
If i was Hamilton i wouldn’t even bother coming out to race - none of this is his fault, he gets in the car and steers the wheel so why punish him?
A financial penalty to Mercedes would have been more suitable - blame lies with the background team, mechanics/engineers etc.
Might be wrong, but I don’t think you can change an engine in parc ferme unless you can prove it’s damagedThis guy gets it.
With regards to tomorrow's feature race, Mercedes would be best placed to change ALL the engine parts for new bits and start from the pit lane. They'll guarantee points anyways and gives them a massive chance for the final four races with what would essentially be a new car.
Starting from the back is totally understandable if the car DRS system was illegal. The driver lack of fault is irrlevant. His car may have been faster due to the technical infringement.What a schit way to end the title fight, talk about it an anti climax.

You have to start from the pit lane don't you?Might be wrong, but I don’t think you can change an engine in parc ferme unless you can prove it’s damaged
They tried that with Bottas and he charged so hard in Monza the whole package fell apart straight awayThis guy gets it.

I think you can. Whinger spice was talking about giving Max a new engine a few races ago and he said it was all set up ready to put in at any timeMight be wrong, but I don’t think you can change an engine in parc ferme unless you can prove it’s damaged
Excat time advantage is irrelvant. There is a potential for an advantage.One thing is for certain, and zorro can protest all he likes, but any potential gain from that transgression was not worth 4/10ths of a second back to Verstappen.
