Haas in hot water FIA code of conduct breached 12.2.1C
It's due to Gunther complaining about the stewards (because he is unhappy about Hulk's penalty at Monaco).

Thanks
To be honest, I don't think what Gunther is saying is unreasonable.

Rain in qualy is fine, it can produce surprise grids. Rain in free practice is awful, because it leads to no running.

Rain is great in qualifying, especially if it's a slowly drying track, rewards those who take the most risks.

When it comes to qualifying I just like to watch pure fast cars with least amount of gimmicks factored in :D I know majority likes more unpredictability.

Rain isn't a gimmick. It takes nerves of steel and skill to push an F1 car as fast as they can in wet conditions. It could be worse, Bernie's idea for sprinklers on the track could have happened.

F2 sprint is ending, there is a dry line on track. Hope there will be more rain before Q.
