Gallant knights, and men-at-arms testing the limits of their skills, and the strength of their steeds at tournament, and the courtly intrigue of the noble houses that sponsor them. The majesty and drama of Formula 1.

A 5 second penalty is kind of bullshit once you consider it was lap 1 turn 1 incident of a 2 lap race that was red flagged by turn 3 and then finished under a parade lap. They may as well have disqualified him.

Yeah they gave him a penalty for an incident that technically never happened. Should have put him back in 4th or whatever it was and then do the safety car procession to finish the race.

So in this case Repsol Honda can keep Marquez out from Argentina and bring him back for COTA. It's a surprise you need rules though. You'd think it'd be in their interests to have a bike out there.

Idk I watched the replay of it last night and it doesn’t look that bad. Alonso squares off the corner which is why he and Sainz touched. A racing incident I think. Gasly and Sargent are the reasons it was red flagged.

Sainz should know it's a 5 second penalty, because that's the penalty given to Russell for doing that poo poo to Sainz at COTA last year.

I liked Jolyon Palmer's analysis of the chaos. https://youtu.be/YPDNuxwD8-M Several contributing factors; cold tires, light fuel load, late-day sun right in the driver's faces, the pressure of knowing it's basically a 2-lap sprint race with no time to gain or recover any positions after the standing start. Basically a very high-stakes restart in unusual and challenging conditions. Gasly and Sainz both pretty majorly hosed up, braking too late into turn 1. Gasly came extremely close to rear-ending Alonso just before Sainz plowed into him. A pretty slam dunk 5 second penalty, he just got turbofucked by the race ending under safety car and getting dropped completely out of the points. Unfortunate, but not technically unfair. Only reason Gasly didn't get a penalty is because he hit his teammate. I think the most important point he makes is that the FIA need to be consistent about handling late race incidents: > Baku 2021 - red flag and 2 lap sprint. > Monza 2022 - safety car finish. > Australia 2023 - red flag and > Abu Dhabi 2021 - NO! Go put that can of worms somewhere it'll get lost and forgotten about! If they don't want the race to end under a safety car that's fine, but the handling of late race incidents needs to be more consistent, and communicated to the teams so they know what to expect. Also, Logan Sergeant, godDAMN what an embarrassing rookie moment. I think he avoided a penalty because the stewards were too embarrassed on his behalf just watching the replay.

it was cool karun chandok said as much right afterward; if there hadn't been a crash, everyone would have thought it was great who cares about sunlight or light fuel or whatever. shut up about cold tires; that's the case after every safety car. these are professional drivers, they can handle it. that's what people always lean on to argue for wet standing starts, or racing in the wet in general. it was a fluke thing. if you want to prevent it in the future, ban all french drivers i guess

maintaining a gap larger than 5 seconds for more than 1 lap results in a 5 second penalty

Perhaps some from this very thread! Would you like to read some? > Only one practice session, but with points awarded. > Qualifying on Friday with points awarded. > Sprint race on Saturday to set GP grid order, and points awarded. > GP on Sunday with reversed grid order. > Points awarded for Driver of the Day. > Constructors championship points for fastest pitstop. > More points awarded for other arbitrary bullshit because slack-jawed dipshits like big numbers.

More races = more points, win/win! Because gently caress work/life balance I guess. > Karts at Monaco. > Competition cautions. > A Bristol dirt race, gently caress it. Mostly taking the piss. How about some stupid ideas about qualifying? > A "one-shot" sort of qualifying session, but only 1 team on track at once. > Each team has 8 minutes total for both drivers to put in their best times. (~2 hour broadcast maybe?) > Qualifying order randomized for round 1. > Qualifying order in subsequent rounds goes in order of constructor's championship standing. Would it be cool to see each team with an opportunity for clean air and their drivers taking turns towing each other? That might just result in every team getting their own row of the grid. Maybe reduce the time limit to ~5 minutes to only allow enough time to set up 1 car for a tow on a hot lap? Also some drama if competitive teammates refuse to cooperate. Maybe just 1 car at once with a 3-4 minute time limit to avoid towing strategy/drama altogether? Aside from weird weather shenanigans, qualifying later in the session on a more developed track is usually better, right? For round 1 the order could be random, or the previous season's constructor rank or something. Points leaders qualifying first might give lower ranked drivers/teams an opportunity to shake up the starting grid a little. To be clear, I think the current qualifying format is fine, and there's no reason to change it. My ideas are probably r-worded because I started following F1 in 2019 after binge-watching the first season of DTS. Like I said, I have gently caress all to do today. Literally just killing time. Like, murdering it, and desecrating the corpse. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Single car qualifying runs into the problem of wet sessions where oops, one car got a dry lap and everyone else had damp/rain conditions. Pretty sure that happened at least a few times when single lap was the format in early 2000s
