Uh oh….

So, can we take from this that Alpeeeeen have tried to build a NASCAR that can go really fast in straight lines and so has done well on the fastest track in F1, yet is barely competitive outside Monza?

As for PIA, was he not getting updates from his team about the driver behind him on a flying lap? If he knew he should have been trying to get through that chicane faster to not be an obstacle. The upside is that his pace has been good all weekend; faster than NOR, so maybe papaya rules might be set in his favour?

They will take it off him in 3 months time. Like Monaco.

I agree he was in a difficult situation which one would have the team could have avoided.

Aha. Papaya rules were designed only to favour Lando as much as possible. Ya pay more money ya get the best fruit.

SKY criticized PIA for aborting his lap rather continuing and towing NOR.

Im not saying he did it on purpose, but Im sure he had some "technical issues" and couldnt continue....

Sucks about the penalty especially since LAW is starting at the back anyway.

Typical NorrisSport SkySport.

How on earth was PIA going to get back up to speed quickly enough to help NOR?
