MrSmithers96red bull always pit max there though because the chance of it making a difference are one in a thousand. Strolls improved a lot this season, i still rate checo over him but its close than last year/i expected.
also can anyone explain alex albons penalty to me? it didnt affect his position in any way in the end but i really dont understand how he can have his car on the inside of a corner travelling faster than magnussen and be in the wrong when kmag drives straight to the apex. the fuck do the stewards want him to do, just not pass the guy? the most infuriating thing for me though is that it wouldnt have been a penalty if kmag got out of the way and ceded the position. all the rules on the track in f1 are completely arbitrary and compeltely result based and it kinda tilts me sorry for essay
The stewards seem to think that if you get your nose ahead by one millimeter, the car "behind" or alongside should just disappear into thin air. Magnussen lost time hitting the inside kerb too hard and Albon was ¾ alongside Magnussen and gaining, which should give Albon the right to at least some space, but Magnussen just took the apex as if Albon wasn't there. Not the first time Magnussen has crashed while playing chicken with someone who didn't back out. And to think Grosjean didn't get a penalty; that blithering brie-brained baguette will never learn.
