If they did then that breaks the very first rule in the F1 Rule book. Which states nether a team or driver can alter the track conditions in any way.

If they did then he will be penalised and redbull heavily fined.

It is ridiculous because the Engineers / Team will "explain" it was for the Break Cooling....

But then every driver and team would be in the exact same situation. Its a extremely poor explanation. As he was the only one with a dry grid box

Haas strategists call drivers into the pits

"We saw that it was drying and not much was said. It was said: all right, we pull on slicks, because it gets dry and we have a chance here," said the South Tyrolean. "It was a quick decision to do that. We just did it without great discussions because we thought it was a good idea and had nothing to lose."

FIA detects violation of sports regulations

But it was precisely this decision by the team that Haas caught up with a few hours after the race. The race management opened an investigation into a violation of Article 27.1 of the Sporting Regulations. This means that the driver has to drive the car alone and without help at all times. After examining the evidence, the stewards decided: the radio message in the formation round did not comply with the rules.

"A technical directive was issued in 2017 that clarifies which communication between a team and its driver may take place during the introductory lap," said Formula 1 race director Michael Masi. "Only safety-related communication from the command station to the driver may go out during the formation round."

According to the stewards' decision, the team was unable to provide any evidence to enforce this radio exception. The result was a 10-second time penalty for both drivers, which was added to the race result afterwards. Magnussen thus fell back to tenth position behind Carlos Sainz. Grosjean slipped to 16th behind Kimi Raikkonen.

Watching an 2008er Race,Alonso seems to complain everywhere above everything at anytime......

Update on addition/already planned Races:

- "maybe" a Nürgurgring Race in October 2020
- definitely no Hockenheim Race (Organizer reports "too much Costs" for a single Grand Prix)
- Barcelona (16th August 2020) is not safe after,the Number of COVID-19 Infections in Catalonia has risen significantly recently.
(a 3rd Silverstone Race is the Alternative...)

Silverstone again?? Britain has three other race tracks that are to Formula 1 standards. Surely a deal could be reached to host a race at one or two of them instead .

Brands Hatch/Donnington Park and Knockhill here in Scotland are all excellent tracks and would be better than a 3rd race at Silverstone.

The possible Reason why not using other Tracks:

This would have the advantage that all Teams and all the Material would already be in Place. Life in the "Bubble" would just be extended by a Week.

Yes true but a 3rd race at the most boring track in Formula 1 is not exciting to me lol.

The best bit about that is the idiot getting dragged away by his arm by the marshall. Didn't something similar happen a few years later at a German grand prix?

This is why I love Lando. After a frustrating Hungarian GP, Lando Norris stuck around to help his mechanics disassemble his MCL35. You never see any other driver working on his own car.
