Someone posted this video of the Red Bull rear wing doing something very strange...

I think 2 cars could be reported to the stewards.

What a stupid championship it has become...

Can't we just have a pure race of Lewis vs Max to the end??

There's also a video of Max touching the Merc rearwing at the end of qualifying. I wonder what he was doing?

I don’t know what he’s hoping to confirm there, but the drs gap is compliant in the closed position.

Hearing it's confirmed, back of the grid start for the sprint qualifying for Hamilton, as he is effectively DSQ from the Friday qualifying session. He will have also have 5 places added to whatever result he achieves in sprint qualifying because of his existing engine penalty. Seems like any chance of a win has evaporated.

Maybe checking if there's a difference in resistence whilst trying to push something between the main part and the flap between the outside and center?

What a load of BS. 20+ years I have been watching F1.

I'm now reading news about sprint races and didn't even know it was a sprint race this weekend. That just shows how ridiculous things have become.

Well that’s the championships dead then. FIA really desperate for Merc not to win either championship this year.

Have you been living under a rock? There’s been plenty of coverage on the Sprint format, especially leading up to this weekend.

But if they don't penalise Mercedes they will be seen as 'desperate' for Merc to win it. So what is the 'fair' option
