      Haha, guilty admission: seeing nothing here I went to Reddit and sure enough someone had posted the update there.

      I was about to go on with my day but then realized we’re all gonna have to put a bit of work in to break free of Spez, glad you appreciated it!

    This makes no sense. Should have recieved atleast one penalty(for impeding tsunoda) as there is a lot of precedence of grid penalties given for impeding.

    I really thought the pit lane one was so outside the spirit of the rules it would create a bigger response. It’s not like they’re taking him off pole

      So if the precedent is there’s no penalty for stopping there, then conceivably you could park and wait towards the end of a session, then go at the last second so other people queued behind you couldn’t complete their out laps in time?

    Can’t say I didn’t expect it since Max can get away with anything, but still facepalm. I’m guessing Alpha Tauri had to lobby that the impeding wasn’t anything serious anyway.
