Seems like it but surely if he gets a penalty everybody gets a penalty? They all went.

Apparently not, Norris was responsible for being the first to go. I am biased so I am hoping Russel also gets a penalty

Hard to see Verstappen not winning this. He's on a different level to any other car out there.

I'm AMAZED that McLaren pitted.

Genuinely amazed. Why? It was incredibly clear to anyone who's watched F1 the last 15 years that a safety car or red flag was incoming.

McLaren screwed Norris over again, they could see how badly pitting had worked out for Leclerc but did it anyway, morons

Sounds very Vince McMahon of me but "Norris screwed Norris" by not being very good at starting.

I'm amazed either the Marshalls didn't know not to help him, or Haas not just bringing him straight in (the latter being a method to avoid a longer yellow / safety car and just get the car back to the pits safely)

I can see the stewards doing it to help clear a stricken car without a safety car, I think the issue was Hulk just carrying on rather than retiring

How are Alpine so good in the wet. Hungary 2021 vibes big time. Amazing how they are nothing in the dry, but amazing in the wet. Annoying as a Williams fan, but fair play to them.

Martin Brundle is a Media driven bell end . . The Stewards as a group have a 100+ years of motorsport experience between them. How 'professional' do they need to be.

you don't become a basic steward without training and experience.

But do they always get it right?
