Could you imagine sitting in one of those meetings. Nothing better than hearing engineers argue over technical regulations.

Poor driver's delegate being subjected to that shitshow.

In my mind it’s an argument between a few really, REALLY smart children

If Newey walked in there you know this shite is real. Probably told them exactly where to look to find the offense.

It will be fun to see the next few weeks if Merc drops the dime on something RBR is doing.

Just catching up on quali and now the Hamilton DRS fiasco. I love me some technical rules violations when the push the designs just a little too far and get busted.

This decision is taking a long time for a cut and dry penalty.


Apparently Bottas is in the clear, his DRS was checked and passed.

I just watched the video of Max playing Inspector Seb. I wonder if the DRS infraction was found by the inspectors when inspecting the wing deflection. Kind of a "wait a minute, what's this?"

Yeah, saw someone reference a rule that Max touching the rear wing is what Merc might be arguing.

Seems like Max doing so is illegal.

Who knows.

This will be fricking epic if that turns into something.

I bet it's a shite show behind the scenes right now. Masi just sitting there with Toto and Horner yelling above him.

Furiously sending emails.


Toto has George making powerpoints like his drive depends on it.


Update: no decision until tomorrow.

They are taking Hamilton's rear wing though.

Max should keep his hands to himself.


Seriously, this is probably some long shot Merc is arguing, but the FIA has to hear it. Them impounding the wing is probably for the flex and might not even have to do with 85mm opening.


Red Bull gives you wings, FIA takes them away

They both broke a rule.

Max probably gets a reprimand and Merc gets a DSQ. Far from being unfair.

It is comical actually.

I’m ok with Max getting a reprimand, but if they let Merc off because of it, I hope FIA headquarters burns to the ground.

Irrespective of whatever evidence is found?

I'm not a FIA fan, but this wouldn't even be close to the biggest sham from them.

If its found Merc was out of spec as is already indicated…. However, it isn’t enforced because Max touched a car and “contaminated” it, then yes.

Max touching it wouldn’t change the height/width of the wing or gap.
