Is this during the current season? Or during development next year?

If this it’s this season FIA are as worthless as the NCAA. Saying this as a Redbull supporter

The tunnel time restarts around June/July. Or at least that is when it is allocated.

I just don't know what you do as a fair and measured penalty. The advantage RBR could have gained may have been minimal, but compounds over time.

Lowering their cap for the next year does nothing to rid the advantage. And they would likely have already exceeded any reduction for this year.

Penalty points are a joke of a punishment as are taking away any titles

A fine is ridiculous considering they ran $400 million dollar budgets before the cap.

Taking away tunnel and CFD time, a lot of it, is the only way to really penalize them.

You're right. It turns right onto Sands Avenue once you get to Treasure Island. I was in Vegas 2 months ago, the MSG Sphere should be finished before November of next year.

autocrosses are fun but he should try a solo trial or whatever they call it now. It used to be called solo 1. They are run on actual racetracks instead of in a parking lot. They put alot more stress on the car. We had a 1964 MG Midget that dominated autocrosses for several years but after 3 laps at Roebling Road in Georgia, the head gasket blew. It's just a different animal on an actual track.

Nothing is like your first actual race with other cars though. Most fun thing i ever did growing up

The topography on Road Atlanta would be especially amazing to watch an F1 car go through, but giving it one passing opportunity is generous, not even bringing up grade 1 upgrades.
before they changed the back straight, it would been amazing watching F1 cars going side by side down the rollercoaster and up to the concrete bridge. I turned a bunch of laps there but I checked my brakes coming up that concrete wall everytime. Butt puckering doesn't even begin to describe it. The changes kinda neutered the most fun part of that track but it was very dangerous. I saw a guy wad up a 427 cobra at a vintage race there back in the 80s. Blasphemy that

The amount of Lewis fans that actually want this/think this will happen is kind of cringe for them.

Wishful thinking by a few.

The drivers won't be punished for the faults of the team. Spygate proved that.

Alonso is once again P7 for USGP


Wtf is the FIA doing? Clown show

quote:

On Sunday night in Austin, Haas lodged a protest on the grounds that Alonso – who took the flag in seventh place – had finished the race in a car in an unsafe condition, following his high-speed collision with Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin.

Alonso was given a 30-second post-race penalty, which meant the two-time champion was demoted to 15th place in the classified results, losing him six world championship points.

Alpine disputed Haas's protest on the grounds that it had been lodged too late – 24 minutes past the specified deadline – but the FIA concluded in Mexico City that "there is no ability or right for any party to “protest” a decision of the Stewards nor against a summons to a hearing."


However, Alpine then asked for a right of review in light of new evidence and a further hearing on Thursday evening ultimately resulted in Haas’s original protest being deemed inadmissible as it was adjudged the team could have submitted it within the required time limits.

It means Alonso’s seventh place and six points from Austin will be reinstated.

If 20 minutes too late is okay to protest, is one month too late? Is one hour too late? Is 10 years too late? When is too late? So as I said, this is a very important day for our sport. I don’t care about seventh, you know? I’m not fighting for the world championship. but if this goes ahead, I think we don’t want to open that box. 
I mean ALO kinda does have a point

Especially since the FIA is saying they agree Alpine did wrong and that the FIA missed it, but Haas should have said something earlier.

Still doesn't answer the question of who's responsibility is it to point out a dangerous car.

What's even more fricked up is Haas complained during the race, but was told by Race Control to lodge the complaint within an hour of the end of the race. They lodged it at 54 minutes, but RC had told them incorrectly and the rule was actually within 30 minutes.
