I wonder which driver will test it first this weekend? At least defending will be much easier - you just hug the inside and run the other guy into the gravel.
Part of me hopes that drivers start running each other off the road, just to prove the absurdity of it. It shouldn't make any difference if you're defending or attacking, just dive-bomb up the inside, and don't make any effort to make the corner. For the driver on the inside, the skill now becomes judging it so that your opponent doesn't cut back inside. You have to take them with you.
Totally agree that they have basically said that if Lewis had tried to stay on the road a bit harder and forced a collision, he would have been at fault (kind of by default).
On the other hand, for me (and I know it's f1 so hardly what it's all about, but how can this not affect lower categories with actual on track competition?) I am sad because close racing is enhanced by these rules.
I love that moment when a driver gets close enough to make the driver in front go defensive, compromise their line, be slower through a corner, be set up for a pass. If that stuff can't happen because of shit like this (which it can't), you might as well allow bump passes and weaving on the straights.
Also, and end of rant, but it was classic Max. I don't like him much, he seems to have a sense of entitlement that rubs me up the wrong way, and on top of that he doesn't even seem to be enjoying himself.... Ever!!

Is it me, or did Max look quite unsettled in the DC interview?

"Hamilton wasn't running at the quali the fresh engine from Interlagos."
So RB are even more fucked at Jeddah then :O :O
(Though I've heard on the legitimately-very-senior KSA government grapevine that Jeddah won't be ready on time and may get cancelled...)

The green on the right looks like the pit lane light… still confusing though.

I suspect Mercedes won't want to use that engine in the race tomorrow. Saving it for the next race which is a circuit they can benefit from the extra power.
