Snitch Russell at work again.
Yeah, disgrace, what was that really? He better hide from Sainz.

Well, seems like these cars don't work in Monaco either. An unbelievably boring race given all those retirements. Not a single real overtake.

Looks like Hulk got a penalty, moving Perez up to 10th. But he may face one himself

Kudos to Ferrari for taking away the position from Leclerc and handing it to Hamilton. Probably significantly contributing to the late crash. Also well done for not being able to fix the brakes on his car for two weeks plus two GP weekends.
Well worth the trust from him, another four years of this Leclerc.

About Russell serving his 5 second penalty wrong:

The technicalities of safety car or not are irrelevant. He never stood still for 5 seconds, not in the pit lane, not in the pit box (without mechanics working on the car). So there is just no way he could have served the 5 second penalty.
Crawling does not count, stopping for about 2 seconds before pitting does not cut it.
¡Puxa Sporting!

Shame for hulk, not much he could do. It was really down to russell. Should have given him another 10s. And perhaps another one for being a donkey.

Ridiculous. Sainz should get a warning instead. Hülkenberg was as tight as possible by the looks of it. What do they expect, him having an infinite grip button? Sainz could have went wider when he se saw cars inside.

I wonder if they will undo any of these suspiciously numerous speeding penalties. Vettel got one removed once, because of poor positioning of sensors. Which meant he took a shorter line than what the FIA assumed.
Maybe that's in play here today as well.

Agreed on that, what was he thinking anyway? :wtf:

What ? Speed measurement is done ONLY via 'distance between sensors' on a curvy pit entry where different driving lines are possible ? Is this the ONLY way FIA measures 'pitlane speed' on all tracks ? I thought they should already have some redundancy built into this (what if a position sensor fails), like using an additional radio sensor with doppler effect (like what the police use on highways) mounted on a fixture at the entry of pitlane.
The number of pitlane-speeding penalties was way too high for all of it to be driver error.

It sounds like they kept 60 kph but cut the corner, bringing the official speed over. So penalty deserved if that's the case.
