the booing remembers when Nico Rosberg used to win, those were the days (when Hamilton defeated him, of course)

Hamilton and Leclerc called to the stewards for plank checks. May be a DQ for both of them.

As a result Carlos gets 3rd, so if it was an intentional rules breach deserving of penalty then another likely illegal car is on the podium (only Max, Charles, Lewis and Landon's cars were tested), and if it was incidental and caused by the ghetto Austin track surface, Charles and Lewis should feel pretty ripped off.

Would the teams have noticed excessive wear if they had had more practice sessions?

I read that Aston raised their ride height because of plank concerns.

And because they suck. And because drivers don´t like it. And because most fans don´t like it.

I would be very surprised if the Astons at the very least had legal planks by the end of the race. One of the things they broke parc ferme to do was change the ride height and Alonso ended up retiring because of floor damage.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

They shouldn't have even had a race at that track, that would've solved the issue, heck lets not even have any races at all!!! That way people won't have anything to complain about

There has been one good Sprint, Brazil 21. The rest have been anticlimactic.

Are you getting paid by the Pro Sprint Race Foundation or something?

Like Qatar with Piastri holding off Verstappen, so anticlimactic. Same with Belgium and the changeable conditions with great racing, very very anticlimactic. And lets not forget Austria with all it's action and passing which unfortunately... yes was also anticlimactic :cry: . Baku was also pretty anticlimactic because... it just jolly well was

No, it's just frustrating seeing everyone being so negative about any aspect of change in Formula One. Do people realise they are watching one of the most changeable sports in the world? This isn't football

And sometimes stage racing in NASCAR gets an exciting 'finish' but they're still pointless.
