Well, why not? Give him a penalty to make things a bit more interesting. Let him start 7th. He will be right behind Bottas by lap 10-15 anyway.

Other than that, the season is probably going to be the most boring one in the hybrid era.
I don’t know what RedBull was up to when they were talking like they were serious contenders.

Zero chance you said? :)

It appears to be quite competitive between the 2nd to 7th placed teams. Plus, very competitive again between 8th to 10th placed teams. =D>

I’m sorry. I should have written “the fight for the title is going to be the most boring one”.

Exactly, those will be the epic battles lap after lap rather than big gaps between them forming over a race distance like previous seasons =D>

"Not that I saw, no," the Englishman said when asked if there were yellow flags.

"I came round the corner, got on the power and I thought that Valtteri had perhaps gone wide and then come back on further up the road. So I was looking out for the gravel on the track and the car on the track, but there was nothing there so I continued.

Did I understand it right that the current PU ranking regarding power output will stay the same until the end of the season because no power improvements are allowed, but only reliability related upgrades?

Bottas 2.0 is on pole and going for the WDC! Presumably Hamilton does not agree with this sentiment and will attempt to prevent this? :wink:

Guys... it's obvious that as long as Ham will have mathematically chance for WDC - they will not let Bottas to go for it.

I also think that as long as Botas has a mathematical chance for WDC he will not be pulled.
OK, with the exception of getting Hamilton above a RbR or Ferrari for a win
When arguing with a fool, be sure the other person is not doing the same thing.

parts under the valve cover, inside the cylinder head, in the engine crankcase and gearbox, as well as the MGU-H, can no longer be touched in 2020. But they can be modified once for the start of each of the next three seasons.

Other components - the MGU-K and the battery - are allowed to be upgraded once from now until the end of 2021, and then once more in 2022 and 2023

Today proved again that Ferrari was 100% cheating last year maybe even last couple years...
Well, Ferrari got caught. Big difference, unless you are implying all the other teams play fair.

No further action for HAM.
