Nothing is certain with these current stewards….

What is wrong with Hamilton? If he does get a penalty, that’ll be 3 penalties in 3 weekends….
Just a fan's point of view*

*statement was relevant when the forum had a high level of intelligence. Now we are just equals.

It's more a Ferrari thing, they never told him Piastri was on a push lap...

Can we say for certain that Piastri was on a qualy lap? He did start his quali lap last but was he at that point in a fast lap?

From memory, Lewis started the final push lap first, and Piastri left the pits last, so he started his final push lap just after Hamilton ended his.

Stella also told Sky now that is was a shame Oscar got impeded and didn't get his last attempt.

And Oscar saying "Lewis wasn't looking in his mirrors" in his Interview.

It might be a slam dunk penalty then.

It is a slam dunk. Hamilton just drives through middle of T1 as Piastri comes around and Piastri has to immediately back out.

Quick question. Are Antonelli and Verstappen also under investigation?

Antonelli for yellow flag infringement but some are saying he lifted before crossing the line. But I hope the FIA doesn't allow this anymore once we get the verdict.
