F1 2024: US GP - Austin (Oct 20)

[M5Rick]

To me Lando is a fun guy and has a great personality but when the lids drop he does need to take on some 'MAX factor' himself. Depending on how the 1 and 4 cars match each other from today I can't help thinking that Brown/Stella wishes that it was Oscar in the no. 4 car with the same points.

So, McLaren is going to use their right of review. What do you guys think, any chance of succes?

Brown is a piece of 5H*T (!)

Piastri is now linked to a 3 plus way fight to move to RBR so no wonder Brown is fuming
OP is denying it but it's known that manager Webber is pushing for discussions with Marko about his future.

I actually love the psychological games RBR is playing with McLaren because it not only exposes McLaren’s insecurities but also throws them off their game. It’s fun to watch since Brown is such a toxic individual and given he tried to stir things up it’s only right that they do it back twice as hard. Mclaren has also treated Pia terribly and given how they've treated other drivers as well, it would be no surprise Pia would wants to leave.

The stewards already reviewed the footage and the telemetry data during the race. I think given the decision was made rather quickly it's pretty clear cut so I doubt this will go anywhere. Honestly, they should have 24 hours to lodge a review, not 5 days later.

I don't think the outcome will change at all, but I think it's worth the review to get clarification on the rules and the stewards' interpretation of them. It could help shape future rules that prevent sloppy driving like divebombing and running off track. It's something I'd expect of a rookie, not a world champion. They've made rules because of Max's exploitation in the past, so this wouldn't be the first time.

Obviously this strategy doesn't work at street tracks... and Max openly hates street tracks. No coincidence.

To be fair, street tracks are pretty awful. That being said, Max has still owned most everyone in street tracks.

Regarding the protest, here is how I would look at it. Max gets 5 seconds, but Nor's penalty goes from 5 seconds to 10 seconds and they also count it as another track limits violation (this is his 4th as I recall) adding another 5 seconds pushing him back to 5th place. That would be quite just for the way they act as a team.

apparently FIA needs to be convinced there is "new evidence" before they will review

they will see this "new evidence" at 1430 Mexico time
