Fining A Driver For Being Late To A National Anthem An Eye Watering Amount (20x The Maximum Fine For

Fining a driver for being late to a National Anthem an eye watering amount (20x the maximum fine for breaching the pit lane speed limit) is already quite something, but when you take into account that:

Said driver was late due to a medical issue personally attested to by an official Med-Ex doctor;

Who found the medical issue serious enough to require prescription medication to treat symptoms; and

Said driver is the new director of the GPDA (an association that specifically exists to promote the safety of Grand Prix drivers) -

- we have reached a level of irony so comedic one would be forgiven for thinking this would happen in a fanfiction rather than reality.

Yet the FIA have once again surpassed all expectations.

“it says a lot about lando as a driver and as a person, no matter how much he is criticized, the guy continues to live up to being a gentleman on and off the track”

okay. not that anyone asked but here's My Take on the williams torment nexus

honestly a communication breakdown on the pit wall

similar to vegas last year actually, with charles told carlos wouldn't overtake and carlos not actually told that. alex's engineer was like "go ahead" when alex said he could overtake, but carlos was told the opposite thing

the real things that fucked up carlos's race were a) the regular ass first lap incident in turn 3 and the resultant damage; b) building a 3sec gap so the team could double stack for inters (didn't happen) and then coming out behind hulk as a result; c) the timing of the vsc; d) team using his new mediums for the sprint

his pace was good despite the damage (very positive)

good to get the growing pains out now while they're fighting for p5-p9 than when they're fighting for p1

alex mostly blameless and also extremely brave and strong in p5!!!

the synchronized pass on merc + ferrari at the same time was absolutely gorgeous i'm so happy

honestly when the main reason you end up behind the ferraris (and he might've had the pace to get kimi) is because of vsc timing and some damage, that's still honestly a good race

whatever ollie and carlos have, it is on and off the track 😭😭

“sorry carlos” as he passes him pls, what is carlos doing to the british man that they can’t help to be the sweetest towards him
