Yeah Hadjar has benefited from the F2 Engine lottery this season it feels - If he goes to Super Formula or elsewhere next season, he needs to win the title, and hope that Lindblad doesnt have a stormer in F2.
Great face off between Max and George though... If they've got similar pace come the race tomorrow, I'd quite like to see there be no penalty to see them fight.
But yeah if Russell was on a timed lap, thats a slam dunk penalty
Looks like they are trying to show they are actually in charge, just a little bit too late, wouldn't have done it before he had won the title so looks ridiculous now.
Yeah thats harsh on Max!! - Penalise him when he actually does things wrong... Glad we should still get a battle between him and Russell, as there looks little to separate the two of them

Wouldn't be surprised to see shenanigans into Turn 1 , would love to see George take none of Max's running people wide nonsense.

The way George defends at times, he's got a bit of Max's bite about him, so dont see him ever being as cautious with his defending like Norris is
Well that was a fun F2 Feature race... Shame for Bearman, getting screwed by the double Safety Car at the wrong time, although he equally got a bit lucky with the second restart.
Probably could have won on pace alone without the SC's
At least Lando Aron got his first win, albeit thanks to a screw up.

I think Aron may have had the pace to win without the 5 second penalty. He just drove a sensible race to ensure the victory. Bearman could never have won from 10th without the help of a safety car and even then it would have depended on the exact timing of the safety car.
Apparently Max has confronted George in the paddock..... Turn 1 is going to be a mess.
I wonder if its been more of a chat, as dont know what George has done wrong, he's not given the penalty - But yeah the first few laps between these two will be fun.
Absolute mess... Did anyone manage to avoid a penalty?
What is going on with F1 at the moment, the amount of time it took for the SC with debris on track was just ridiculous; MBS is trying to act salty with his latest comments, whilst sacking everyone...
We basically got left with the one overtaking spot neutralised for about 5-laps, and there was no sign of them acting on it, until cars starting suffering punctures!!
Mercedes might do the same with Hamilton and Antonelli. I don't think Lewis would be too bothered.
Wouldn't surprise me but it would be a very sad end for one of the greatest partnerships in the sport. Will be interesting to see Lewis's interview post race.

I know Lewis has done a lot for Mercedes, and they've done a lot for him - But finding it a little tiresome too now, and cant wait for it to end... Doesnt always go your way in races, and Lewis just wanting to retire the car after the fact he forgot to press the pit lane limiter, just sounded so whingy.
Wonder if they're giving Doohan a test drive, so that if he does shit, he can be replaced.
That would be very Flavio Briatore. Not surprised they've got Aron as the third driver with all the links to Hitech and Ollie Oakes.
Doohan deserves a shot, waited the year to get his chance and now that Franco is the big prospect with the massive sponsorship backing everyone's falling over to sign him.
Ouch... Spicey words from Verstappen towards Russell, complaining that George was two faced over the penalty call yesterday, accusing him of saying one thing to the media apparently, and then calling for the penalty in front of the Stewards.
Of course Max would never EVER go around calling for other drivers to receive penalties for something now would he!!

Honestly I'm completely bored of Max. Up there with Bruno Fernandes and David Warner for my most disliked sportspeople.
I'm sure George won't be losing any sleep over this. Would be way more fun to have a Russell/Hamilton/Leclerc/Norris/Piastri scrap and let Max whine in some other series.
