Circulația pe Transalpina, sectorul Rânca – Curpăt, a fost închisă din cauza ninsorii

Circulația rutieră pe Transalpina a fost suspendată pe segmentul dintre Rânca (județul Gorj) și Curpăt (județul Alba), începând de luni, 11 noiembrie 2024, din cauza ninsorilor abundente. Compania Națională de Administrare a Infrastructurii Rutiere (CNAIR) a emis un comunicat prin care informează că traficul pe acest sector montan, între km 34+800 și km 79+200 de pe DN 67C, va rămâne închis până…

we have gone from mclaren being annoyed that max knows the rules too well to them openly admitting lando doesn’t actually know them.

multiple drivers (including max, charles, esteban) knew exactly what they should do in this situation and turned off their engines.

time to bring this back

Dude, F1 has a toxicity problem for sure, but what the fuck is this?

They're tightening the leash even further against drivers and personnel so they'll have even less room to criticise stewarding decisions, because they're taking their comments as inciting abuse...

This feels like insane overreach, because surely the easiest way to prevent public harassment of race stewards, is to not publicise the stewards panel? We don't need to know that information, only the teams do.

that’s a slam dunk penalty for lando…

this race is gonna be the end of me

[petit-papillion]

The bias as always, because I remember last year multiple races where lando qualified poorly, but got a good recovery race and that was enough for jornalists to rank him high and give praise

It stinks that a lot of these rankings come from British outlets, because, let me tell you, there is similar heavy bias in Italian, Spanish, Dutch media towards their drivers/teams (and probably elsewhere as well, but those are just some I have noticed). So that is what it is.

But Charles's recovery drive didn't go entirely unnoticed:

“That was a brilliant drive, went unrewarded in the end with rescuing the constructors’ championship. But, Ferrari can rely on this man for a long time.”

Alex Brundle, F1TV on Post-Race Show

"I was watching the TV screens and I saw Charles was P8 after lap one, so I was a little bit nervous!"

Lando Norris post-race, via Motorsport.com

"Clearly the most outstanding drive of Sunday, Leclerc certainly looked like a driver who was fighting with everything he had for his team. His opening lap, passing cars and navigating through the chaos ahead, was among the very best of the season and from that point on he refused to let anyone stand in his way."

Racefans.net

"He has been the goat of opening lap moves since the summer break. He drives so intelligently during the starts."

Reddit user Big_Brief7847

If there is still any doubt for anyone, here is that incredible first lap. Enjoy!

I wonder what George will say about Max's penalty. He's usually very quick to defend the drivers and this was an obvious injustice but the difference is that he had everything to gain from it. Very curious what he says as he's had lots to say this weekend

[verstakult]

honestly the whole charles post race radio exchange was so. he sounds so mad and defeated like god he doesnt deserve this ☹️ but also the whole radio was absolute cinema lmfao

[finifugue]

I'd love to try something different and get everyone who sees this to seriously actually think of a time when their favourite driver fucked up on-track WITHOUT somehow managing to blame it on the FIA/his team/his teammate.

Think of it as an excercise in acknowledging these dudes are real human beings who sometimes do not perform as well as they can. And if you can't think of a time your driver hasn't performed well because of his own mistakes, then you should look into why you're licking the boot of a rich man.

jack doohan might have been promoted but is there any confirmation if pierre is going to stay with alpine??

(so after this year, is esteban officially welcomed to the alpine hating club which already includes alonso and piastri??)

toto has got options now- kimi, esteban, maybe mick too!?, seb(im still in delusion) or maybe bottas coming back??

what about carlos ?????????????????????

[polarprude]

ive replayed this so many times the word lawson no longer makes sense to me lol

LETS GO OLLIE SHOW EM WHATS UP!!

Here's why Daniel getting a three-place penalty for the next race is yet again evidence that the FIA need to review their regulations:

These are the regulations for overtaking under safety car:

The stewards were right in that Hulkenberg could pass both Lance and Daniel under safety car under Article 55.8 (h), because Lance had crashed into Daniel and they were both cars with obvious problems.

But, glaringly, there is nothing in the regs that state what happens if the car that was passed quickly gets back up to speed and tries to put themselves back into the correct order, which is what you usually do if you get out of order behind the safety car, whether because of pit exits or otherwise.

I'm not saying the stewards could have changed their verdict, but it's only on paper that Daniel had no leg to stand on, because logically, that was his spot and he was very quickly back on Hulk's tail after his wheels hit the ground again. Clearly this is yet another gap in the regs that should have been logically addressed because a situation like this would eventually come up.

It's a similar gap that "stopping on track during qualifying" needed clarification for, and last year, with the 20-place grid drop Carlos suffered for the drain cover that smashed through his car and necessitated changing its components.

Needless to say, a missed gap in the regs causing what would be a logical regaining of a spot to lead to a three-place grid penalty and 2 penatly points for a driver reflects rather more poorly on the FIA regs themselves than the driver who got punted then tried to put himself back where he should have been behind the safety car.

In the Pre-Quali show, Will Buxton and James Hinchcliffe discussed the team orders controversy from today's sprint. I agreed with some of what they were saying, but at the same time I felt they were being a bit too harsh in the way the talked about it. Commentators are allowed too be opinionated, of course, but I was curious to see if anyone else was a bit put off by this, or if I'm just being irrational/oversensitive(sry in advance for it being four mins lol)

Charles immediately knowing something is wrong when Bryan says "We need to box.", but Bryan not wanting to tell him on team radio. Still think it's a ridiculous rule FIA must declare a track wet before you can fit Intermediate tyres.

This Austrian GP is basically a taste test of penalties
