    So you think Perez knew how bad the car was damaged, whereas Max knew it might be slight damage even though he was on three wheels? Quite a take. I also have to point out that Perez’s wing didn’t fall off on track, but Max left crap through several turns. But, there’s always an excuse when it comes to Max.

      The world could see on cameras that Perez’s wing was fucked. Cars have been leaving small bits of bodywork and tire scraps for 70 years, not a big deal and isn’t penalty worthy

      Yes, and even if he didn’t the team should have told him, because they did know. From the report: “The team confirmed in the hearing that the driver had been advised to bring the car back to the pits as they were trying to avoid a Safety Car situation.”

      If you penalize a car every time they drop carbon on the track your probably going to have at least one a race. Where did Leclerc’s end plate go, he was missing part of his wing. How about the bits of Norris’s tire that were flying everywhere, and probably bits of carbon from the floor because of it.

        I really don’t care. The FIA isn’t consistent race to race let alone when it comes to Max. In past days, he would have been docked a race for what he pulled today.

            Actually, I watched F1 during Senna, and I would like to hear about this worse stuff.

            The FIA employs a full time head race steward. That’s the fellow thar refers what happens on track to the race stewards. It’s the FIA.

      “But, there’s always an excuse to shit on Max when it comes to Max.”

      There, fixed it for you. I get it, you are not a fan of Max but please stop inventing.
