Still no Singapore thread.
Ferrari fined 10,000 Euros for unsafe release, allowing Leclerc to ram Norris in the pits. No punishment for Leclerc.
Still no Singapore thread.
The Williamses were demoted to last on the grid (qualified in the teens) because their DRS wings failed scrutineering.

This reflects the fact that Hambone was penalized five seconds after the race for “leaving the track without justifiable reason multiple times” (too many 4-offs), which handed 7th place to Fernando. Hambone’s brakes burned out and he couldn’t keep his car on the racing circuit, but he continued to push nonetheless. Anybody but him prolly would have been black flagged.
Sainz again proves that Ferrari lost their freakin’ minds firing him, starts 19th and finishes 10th ... on a street circuit.
