Vettel when told he's been called to see the stewards for wearing his rainbow 🌈 'Same Love' shirt during the national anthem: "They can disqualify me. They can do what they want. I'd do it again." 🥺

Latifi branded Mazepin a "dumbass" and a "f**king idiot" following Q1, after he was intentionally blocked by the Haas driver, after Latifi got in his way a little earlier

Leclerc caught out with some British slang when trying to explain how racing Monaco will be with these new cars. He chose the term "stiffy-er cars" before Vettel explained what that meant, he then settled on "it's going to be quite hard", which didn't help 😂

Engineer: "Max will let you through."
PER: "Yeh, thank you for that guys."
Horner: "I'm sorry about that Checo. We'll debrief after."

This is quite something. Drivers have been in this meeting for almost four hours now. F1 bosses have come and gone. Team bosses have come and gone. The drivers seem united. Quite astonishing

Verstappen is a deserving champion, there's no doubt. But the way that race ended, just wasn't right. The FIA's decision/rule making needs a thorough review. It's unacceptable /

Mercedes are currently meeting to discuss their options, which include agreeing with the outcome of the protest hearings (i.e. doing nothing) or appealing. The matter would then go before CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport)

Schumacher "appears physically fine" according to his team. He has also spoken with his mother. But will likely need to go to hospital for further precautionary checks.

Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Alfa Romeo and Haas voted against racing today.
Daimler then stepped in and told Mercedes and its customers to pull out.
Only Red Bull/AlphaTauri wanting to go ahead.

Drivers are now leaving the meeting after four hours. Most have left via the rear door, but GPDA director George Russell leaves through the front door and heads off to race control.

Terrible nothing statement from the FIA. They're making sure no replays are shown of the incident on TV. They know a major mistake has been made. There needs to be answers.

"Once the last lapped car has passed the leader the safety car will return to the pits at the end of the following lap."
This is the part of the rule which Mercedes will be examining, as only the cars between Lewis and Max were allowed to pass.

The FIA have clarified that reduced points only apply when a race is cut short by a red flag, not if it runs full distance or time, regardless of whether it was suspended mid-race. The race resumed and reached the 3 hour limit. So full points are awarded. Well, now we know!

@AirCanada
care to explain why 30 or so passengers were removed from a Montreal > London flight last night by police including one of our employees, various other F1 Staff and an elderly couple? No reason given by airline/police and no support offered once disembarked.
The debate over the halo is over. No matter what you think about it. If you think it's ugly, your point is no longer valid. It has just saved Grosjean's life. No question.

Hamilton's 2022 Spanish GP so far...
Starts P6
Puncture on lap 1
Drops to P19
Recovers to P4
Currently 12s behind Russell in P3
All that without a single safety car to aid his recovery 👏🏻

So, under this interpretation of the rules, you could start a race, red flag it after a lap, have a 2h 50m suspension, restart it and complete two green laps and reward full points. How is that better?
#F1
Team bosses have now started to arrive and head into the meeting. Will they take the drivers side after previously agreeing, unanimously, to race on?

Ok, so Verstappen is WORLD CHAMPION 🎉
F1 have awarded full points as the race resumed. It makes no sense. But hey, he was going to win it anyway.
