anyway I supposed there was a budget set for time penalties and now that we're in the latter stages of the season, it's best the use up that budget before the next fiscal year.

@Giles that was completely pulled from my ass and way too good of a thing to actually happen

…not normally a good thing in any company:

“The move to change the FIA statutes comes at the end of a tumultuous year at the body, which has seen the departure of senior staff such as its sporting director, F1 technical director, chief executive officer, digital director, head of commercial legal affairs, governance and regulatory director, race director, compliance officer, a leading steward and deputy steward, the head of the women in motorsport commission, secretary general of mobility and director of communications, as well as the three most senior HR staff.” - BBC article referenced.

He’s the worst. If he didn’t suck at his job so much he wouldn’t need to take these kinds of measures. His dictatorial attitude is a terrible look.

I am the senate

@louisbosco …wasn’t there a movie about dictators emperors and senates

[Tago Mago]

I’m going to go out on a limb here - good governance and QMS probably didn’t feature prominently in his curriculum. He and infantino are probably BFFs

@goosehd something about a child being the chosen one

Man the static between Max and George is just amazing and the off track stuff I really enjoy in F1.

Such a bitch move for George to push for an almost unheard of penalty when it didn’t provide Max an advantage and then Max threatening to run him into the wall the. Saying he’d pass him in the first turn and doing it. The spat has spilled into the public and this shit they’re talking about each other is legendary.

Lando is all “I hope it keeps going on I’m very entertained!” Exactly.

And frankly, how can anyone take MBS seriously when he does that to his hair....

Apparently at the driver's dinner last night, Russell was the last one to arrive, and all the other drivers there had arranged to leave the remaining seat for him right next to his buddy, Max. Russell was said to have come in and moved the chair elsewhere. LOL gotta love a good rivalry!

Gotta love it.

[goosehd]

It's great to see Hamilton happy and reinvigorated.

[mclaincausey]

Yep. And as much as I also like Charles, good to see Lewis finally post a lower time than him.

[Giles]

Yeah, I’m a little torn. I love Charles but I so want Lewis to get his 9th, sorry reclaim his 8th

I like Charles but I’m team Carlos this season. I think it’ll be the best season Williams has had in a while.

I agree. And while they will not win the constructors, they may win the nicest team award.
