Yeah...originally had Piastri 2d but thought that some sort of team orders would be in play, so swapped him for Norris. Oops.

What a race that was. Piastri is one **** of a driver and I bet Norris didn't expect to finish ahead of Max when the lights went out. Will be interesting to see what the officials think on the the Sainz and Perez incident as it was hard to call either way from the footage on TV. If you look at Sainz steering wheel it didn’t move towards Perez at the time of the accident.

Excellent race and keeps the championships open but i can't understand why Red Bull and especially Max seem to be suffering from a severe case of the wheels falling off

Made me smile that my Alex has given up and not put ina projection for most of the season but it made no difference to his position. Last weekend he decide to put one on and it moved him down a place. :biggrin:

BREAKING| McLaren must modify Baku wings:
- Red Bull's protest against McLaren's rear wing used in Baku has been successful
✅
.
The flap edges were found to bend at high speeds, which violated the regulations.
- The FIA has now instructed McLaren to make specific modifications to the wing, particularly in the area where the flap bends upwards from a certain speed, as seen in videos that surfaced online.
- McLaren was informed late on Thursday before the Singapore GP that they need to make changes at two defined points on the wing. This follows debates between Red Bull, Ferrari, and the FIA.
- Red Bull calculated that McLaren gained an advantage of one to two-tenths per lap due to the issue, as the gap between the rear wing elements increased without the DRS being activated.
- Initially, the FIA did not act, as McLaren passed all stress tests and did not appear to gain a significant advantage. However, it was later determined that the gap between the main blade and the flap must remain consistent at all times, which was not the case.
- McLaren will now stiffen the wing at the appropriate points to maintain its shape, though the changes will not affect the next few races in Singapore, Austin, and Mexico.
- McLaren will not face any retroactive penalties, despite Red Bull pushing for such a measure. There is video evidence of similar infractions at Spa and Monza.
- Christian Horner confirmed that McLaren will not be allowed to use the disputed wing at the upcoming race in Las Vegas.

Have they changed it already as it so made no difference in practise this morning. Still quickest.
