F1 2024: Mexican GP - Mexico City (Oct 27)

Maybe you have a different idea of what is meant by the Max factor as what other people mean by it?
I mean, is there a set and done definition about that slogan? I don't think so?
But you seem to think so?

anyway, it's a silly discussion imo.

Damn it, I missed a great race! Was just watching highlights and of course the latest Max and Lando scrap. Will have to wait for Artemis to post the official FIA release to see their reasoning.

I haven’t seen a great slow mo version of it, but from what I did see it looked like Lando was for sure ahead the first corner. Plus Max hit Lando so wonder if that is why the first ten second penalty.

Second one Max is definitely ahead, so wondering what the second ten was for based on last weeks rulings. They said for going off track and gaining an advantage over RBR radio. Maybe they didn’t think he would’ve been in position to make the second pass (in a dangerous spot with the wall right there) if he hadn’t left the track in the first corner incident.

I’m sure they are trying to send a message to calm down after a second week of this before there is a bad accident and someone is potentially injured. But, will be very interesting to read the stewards reports.

Very happy for Carlos and Ferrari!

Last week they gave Lando the penalty.
then McLaren appealed and got told to FO.

So Max did it again, but this time it's a 10s penalty to Max.

the FIA is confused lol

Looked like Lando was ahead the entire time through the first corner and then Max also hit him.

Yeah for a 8 time wdc. Glad winning one race makes them equal.

Wasn't Max a bottom feeder this race and for like 5 years prior to being handed a WDC win he didn't deserve?

Max fans are hilarious

Not what I said, not what I meant. Ferrari have the best driver pair on the grid that could last a long time IMHO. I worry Lewis may only stay 1 or 2 years. Plus I don't know if LEC and HAM will work well together. Basically don't fix what isn't broken.

Austin F1 race of last week - race incident between British driver Norris and Belgian/Dutch driver Verstappen. The 4-stewards panel featured the British former race driver Derek Warwick and the Belgian lawyer (practicing in Luxembourg) Loïc Bacquelaine.
Verdict: a 5 second time penalty for Norris:
