Sergio Perez win the 5th victory over Verstappen in the Saudi GP.

Fernando Alonso was also on the podium as P3 but later received a 10-second penalty for serving a penalty incorrectly. That left George Russell in 3rd place and he swiftly rushed to the Aston Martin garage to pick up his trophy.

Not bothering with F1 this season.
Complete waste of time.

They then gave it back to Alonso

They may not be able to make a decision, but like Snooks, I've made mine...

Also, the FIA messed up with sending out the Safety Car based just off of the data from the GPS transponder chip on Lance Strolls car rather than looking at the visual data from the track side cameras.

At the Australia GP from Melbourne, it finally looks like Mercedes have the car and the track to at least challenge Max Versteppen.

It just wasn't George Russell's day

I can't remember the last time that we had so many non finishers.

Was the penalty on Sainz harsh?

True charlemagne felt for George
Whilst it's definitely been a a fair bit since more than a few dnf and don't think it'll be the last this year

I like Felipe Massa. I always did and I think he got the raw edge several times in his career.

But, I wish he wouldn't do this. Yes it would be his only opportunity to be crowned but I wish he'd live with it.

And I read somewhere that even if the court overturns the result then he still won't be champion because the same verdict would have to apply to all the other times there's been something fishy and he'd only get 1 point more or something whilst other drivers would get more because of the result of all the other cases..

And I think that Mosley and Ecclestone did the right thing back then too.

He got a taste of his own medicine.
