I believe this should be classified under provision 48.1(a) - Moved before the start signal is given, such judgement being made by an FIA approved and supplied transponder fitted to each car, or;

That would make it either a 5 or 10 second penalty.

This doesn't look good on the Stewards when you take everything that happened this weekend and last as a whole.

If anyone thinks some other provisions would apply, please let me know.

I can't remember an F1 driver with a worse combo of personnality, temperament and poise than Lando Norris.

If you look up the term 'sore loser' you might just end up finding Norris' post race interview from this race.

Just an insane weekend with Sunday bring the mayhem.

Stroll beaching the car when he could have easily spun it around the other way is the worst blunder in recent memory.

The regulations for Red flags really are bad. Either don't allow car modifications or still require teams to have a true pit stop. It's an over 20 second advantage to those who luck out.

I think everyone is going tire of Liam Lawson's whining and crying real quick. Another entitled prat to add to an ever growing group.

Valtteri Bottas, Zhou Guanyu leaving Sauber with F2 star Gabriel Bortoleto joining Nico Hulkenberg in new 2025 line-up

F2 series leader Gabriel Bortoleto joins the previously-confirmed Nico Hulkenberg in an all-new driver line-up at Sauber for the 2025 season; Valtteri Bottas, who may now return to Mercedes and a back-up driver role, and Zhou Guanyu let go after three seasons

Poor chair.

Unless Mercedes offers Bottas a ton of money I can't see why he would go there and not WRC or something.

0% chance I pay that much for anything that lasts a couple hours and that entire two hours is watching people practice doing something.

Monaco is a legendary circuit, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t the worst race of the year every year.

I think F1 just can't stand the thought of it not being there. They value it for everything but the racing.

 

[Albatros]

I think they should be there, just not for an ordinary race. Give it a new life as something else.

I don't disagree, but I'd rather watch qualifying in Monaco than the race in Abu Dhabi, Barcelona etc. any day of the week.

I will wait to pass judgement until 2026, when the new smaller cars take a crack at it.
