Track Map
Verstappen 10s penalty is not enough for costing lando the race that he would have won
Lando still had that 5 second penalty for track limits, he might have got around max but who knows if he could’ve built a 5 second gap in like 5-6 laps
Max also had a potential penalty pending for not giving the position back that he gained off the track. At least Jolyon Palmer thought so
It’s absolutely insane to me that they penalised a driver for locking up and handing the position back. What’s the point of racing?
It should’ve been clear to a driver of his calibre that he wasn’t making that move, and even if he didnt realize that… he had gone off three time already when F1 drivers are supposed to be of the calibre to stay on track. Once during a dive isn’t a big deal, the problem is he’d already gone off three times.
These guys should be able to stay in the lines at the peak of Motorsport and driving for millions of € a year
