You do not understand me:

Either the rules ALWAYS apply and in EVERY qualifying / race (how many "exceptions" have there been this year ...?)

or they should leave it.....
Exactly what I have been saying all season. One driver does something (Normally Lando or Lewis) and they get punished for it. Then another driver does the exact same thing and no punishment (Max and Fernando).

Dispute over duel behavior We're still waiting for the stewards. Big debate today before the race, but also: What can we expect? Will the F1 World Championship get really dirty in the last three weekends? In the driver briefing it was pointed out that a comparable action by Verstappen in Brazil could result in a warning flag. The drivers yesterday made a public mood against it, complained about a lack of understanding, and Leclerc predicted on Thursday: If they let that go, we will start to push everyone out. Carlos Sainz called for talks during the winter break and does not want to accept the argument that no incident is ever comparable. They then want some kind of guidelines.


Says the Man Leclerc:









(And YES,Max did so much of such Actions in the Past,he IS no Saint,to make it clear.)


I am so annoyed of todays "short memory Minds" of some People....

Don't worry, Michael Masi is in love with Verstappen as much as Charlie was in love with Ferrari when he was alive.

Which race weekend was a driver not penalised for failing to slow down in qualifying when yellow flags were waving?

Then what are you on about the stewards not being consistent here?

Just because it's the final races of the season should not give the drivers a free pass on serious offenses regarding driver safety.
Yes safety of course...and Consequences/Penalties.Mercedes have/has always a FREE Pass...












(Great,also the Video of the Crash is not allowed to watch ...😂 )



Yes,I know,that Crash is a dumb Case/Comparision......

It is the worst comparison you could have made. Because that crash was really Russell's fault, Mercedes did not get a free pass here.

Both are racing for position and while at first glance it looks as if Bottas pushed George off track, if you look at it, he gave him just enough space. George touching the wet grass to the right is what caused the crash.

You mentioned the safety Point.
After such a Crash no Consequences/Penalties is conducive for safer Driving ?

Stop moving the goalposts. Your posts was about Mercedes getting a free pass, how was this a free pass for Mercedes?

Once you answer that question, I will answer your quoted message here.
