Isn’t it the other way round? When there were complaints about Hamilton getting away with such a lenient penalty for sending Max to hospital, people were screaming about how the stewards only care about culpability and not harm, so they were only interested in the fact that they crashed, not the result of it.
A black and white flag could’ve helped a lot.
In reality it would probably have been a black and white flag instead, but that should’ve forced him to be on his best behaviour.
Didn’t they manage to turn around a pit lane speeding penalty between noting the incident and giving Norris his penalty, or have i mixed that up with another investigation?
Perhaps they might want to be mistaken for the father of medicine.
Cutting your losses like that is really only a thing in the last few races of a close title battle where there’s a risk of losing even more points if you collide, but even then it’s still a very risky mindset.
Seeing some of the comments I do rather want to close my eyes and hide.
To be fair, there is a difference between a well-executed divebomb and just massively outbraking yourself.
Slam dunk penalty quite clearly, but I don’t understand why (a) it took so long for the penalty to be imposed or (b) why, if Max did indeed move in the braking zone on a previous lap, he didn’t get a black and white flag for it. Could’ve meant the crash would never have happened.
Poorest behaviour was from the stewards taking so long to impose that track limits penalty. Would’ve given Max way more breathing room if it had come sooner.
Didn’t they also deal with a pit lane speeding penalty in the middle of that? Or have i mixed it up with another investigation? Either way, it should not take that long to give a track limits penalty where there was no suggestion of forcing off.
I mean it’s not unusual for people in the real world to have exam clashes, so they just sit one of them later and are kept isolated during the gap.
The X350 has always had a special place in my heart.

When you do your A-Levels, you think you know everything.
When you do your bachelor’s, you realise you know nothing.
When you do your doctorate, you realise nobody else does either.
MANIAC!!!
Still one of the best Top Gear segments in history.
The way I can hear a particular driving instructor shouting “make it a non-event”.
