Important points for the team, a 3rd would be massive. Hopefully this is has been our valley and we can see improvement from now on.

Out of curiosity. Is Hadjar under investigation or did he escape a possible penalty.

Think it’s this, which will probably be a team fine I guess

[FNTC]

A fine for changing the setup illegally, and only reverting it since they got caught, would be extremely lenient

True, just used to everything seemingly being fines lately - but thinking about it could even be a dsq?

Maybe if they DSQ Kimi, Lewis and Hadjar has a penalty for Red Flag Oscar could win this "1000 race".
Sorry guys but this is pathetic. The team, the car, everything is way off the pace. I thought that we have passed the Honda 2015 nightmare, but for me is no change.

"Actually, I'm even glad to be out of the race." This is so brutal from Lando and shows how bad MCL40 is. And they stopped MCL39 development to work on this piece of....no words needed.

While I understand what you feel about the car a penalty is still a penalty and if RB did try to change the car illegally they should pay the price.

Right....from the couch perspective it is really easy to have such an opinion.

I guess everyone else of us that arent living in the wonderland we kind of knew that it will be nearly a mission impossible for them to make a race winning car in the first season of the new ruleset. Being handicaped with smaller windtunnell allocation, being even screwed by the Merc itself right before the start and with ADUO rules that will give a team like a Ferrari a free pass to catch up in terms of engine power it is really not so surprising they are struggling....as a 4th, 3rd and even as a 2nd team on a race weekend.

If we survived Honda times, we are probably gonna survive being 3rd or 4th in the standings...
