Will Logan Sargent win his home race? LOL. Will McLaren be on the podium again? Will random things catch fire? Will Lewis make it out of Q1? I could have gone to this, but I will be at FSAE in Michigan. So please cheer on my race team Discuss!!!

Is this race going to be on ABC?
Because my F1 subscription is about to expire AND I AM NOT renewing, because of Andretti.

has anyone seen Jos at the races recently? A few months back according to him he pretty much ran the team. At least it's star driver. Now he seems to be MIA.

F the 'time added' penalties for all infractions except those that happen on the last scheduled lap!
If you get a penalty - the first is a drive through of the pits; a second penalty will be a drive into the pits and stop at the designated penalty spot to serve the time penalty and then return to the track. Penalty STOP will not be in the pit of the team - NO WORK is permitted on the car when serving a penalty.
A drive through is the MINIMUM penalty.
The first transgression of 'Track Limits' will start the penalties - not the third.

Then you'd have to create space prior to the 1st pit spot or a Penalty Stop would mean a 2nd trip into the pits, the 1st for the penalty and the 2nd to do any wok on the car. That 2nd one could mean more cars retiring due to damage that's leaving bits all over the track or being a continuous hazard, ie a flat tire on a road course with too many walls.

Your Point? the same cars on track with time penalties circulating to the end of the race or to a pit stop for tires - leaving bits all over the place until pitted and thus having servicing delayed for the amount of the penalty. At present penalties are being announced - 3 to 5 laps or more after the incident being penalized - which is way too long. Imagine a NFL game with the Offsides penalty being assessed on the 3rd play after the infraction.

This is how Lewis still won the British GP when he was penalized for the Max incident. Byt the time he pitted 20 something laps later the penalty only caused him to drop to 4th. Had he come in on lap 7 and dropped all the way to the back he may have scored point but he would not have won. A penalty shold be served within 3 laps of being given period

Imagine a NFL game with the Offsides penalty being assessed on the 3rd play after the infraction. My point was alot of tracks don't have space prior to the first stall for much more than the 'weigh bridge'. I totally agree penalties should be served asap not 30 laps later!! Maybe if you get a time penalty if you don't serve it within 3 laps it doubles every 3 laps from then on.

F1 is a BIG MONEY undertaking - either you give the FIA the facility amenities they desire at the track or you don't get the race. Of course this presumes that the contract with the track is actually allowing the track to make a profit, if not then the necessary upgrades would be on the FIA's nickel. First level professional sports expect/require facilities to meet certain standards. Since the Concorde Agreement currently allows for 12 teams and 24 cars - pit facilities should accommodate that number, no matter that F1 is currently undersubscribed, with additional spaces the FIA require for their various administrative functions including Stewards space, weigh bridge, Penalty Box etc.

^^ all this discussion reminds me of the one we had a few years back after Monza Who was it, Danny Ric stopped on the track with two to go. The race ended under yellow. That discussion went on and on. They need to extend the race by 2 or 5 laps so we can have a racing finish. Make em carry extra fuel just in case. yada, yada, yada. They made rules. Sometimes they aren't fair to everybody. This isn't T-Ball. Everyone's not a winner.

Reminder:
The spot where the FIA scrutineers inspect the cars IS NOT USED during races. It is more than available to be used as a penalty spot. BONUS: It is at the start of the pitlane.

On the time threads could someone post the times not just copy and paste an image. My work computer has very strict firewalls up and I can never see the images. Please help a brother out.
