Great point from GPDA, asking for clarity on where does the financial fines (I.e the money) ends up? What purpose is it used for, and how a fine is decided?
And why does a false start cost €5000 and no grid penalty applied at the end of the race or even a time penalty to be served in the race?
When I am a steward, I do not express any opinions.
You do, when a false start gets a 5k fine and no grid penalty.
“I understand it from Jos’s point of view because it is his son. Is there any bias? No, of course not. I wasn’t the only one to think that Max was over the top in Mexico. Lando Norris and [McLaren boss] Zak Brown thought so too
Those are the people and comments you chose in your defense, the other party who have a vested interest in seeing Max penalised.
What a day for Alpine, double podium and now 6th in the constructors
Max is out there giving a masterclass on wet weather racing, and Perez is stuck behind Lawson.
Checo, just retire mate.
He has been giving away position on every (re)start in this GP
Norris can’t stop fucking it up.
Max is just flying though the grid.

Google Phone app’s spam filter has worked really well for me.
MS Edge, its a good browser. But fuckin hell does Windows love to shove it in your face every chance it gets.
OneDrive, I fucking hate that thing. Rest I can tolerate but OneDrive really grinds my gears.
The wall just turned into him, he didn’t do anything.

not RB imo
A single official statement on any platform would have done it and they could have said: we tried but it wasn’t what we wanted, wish him luck and send him on his way.
what is a proper goodbye
Some helmet swaps and something during drivers parade or before the race start. Fans could have made special posters saying goodbye and thank you for all the memories.
They are all well paid these days
Its not about money, its about the memories and sharing moments with people he competed against, loved being around and respected one last time before its over and the circus moves on.
Criticism isn’t about the concept(RIC needed to go, and so does Perez while we are on the topic) but the horrible execution(how the press and rumour mill during his last few race were) of the concept.
RIC while not performing at VCARB , was one of the most beloved driver on the grid. He should have been given a proper farewell and chance to go out, like he would have wanted and fans to get a chance to say good bye.
Instead of saying a decision will be made in Singapore, just say it will be RIC’s last race and let him go out, to some degree on his own terms.
There no limit to this guys attention whoring.
Fuck FIA
Valve did not say exactly why it got rid of its forced arbitration clause. But the company is currently being sued in a class action lawsuit in Washington state over the dominance of the Steam platform and over claims that it has overcharged for some games. The plaintiffs in that case actually went to arbitration and convinced an arbitrator that the forced arbitration clause should not apply to them, and were allowed to sue.
The plaintiffs in that case “retained separate counsel and mounted a sustained and ultimately successful challenge to the enforceability of Valve’s arbitration provision. Specifically, the named Plaintiffs won binding decisions from arbitrators rendering Valve’s arbitration provision unenforceable for both lack of notice and because it impermissibly seeks to bar public injunctive relief,” the class action lawsuit against Valve reads. Valve has not yet filed any arguments in that case.

How does it feel to called out in the media, MBS? This isn’t the British media “convicting you” . Your own drivers are calling you out.
Let’s see if he gives another public response (and continue to dig a deeper hole) or this gets solved internally, as it should have been from the start.
