It is unbelievable. He is negotiating the regulations with Redbull and informing

Indeed. If i was redbull i would have just taken the 5 seconds penalty.

Why is Masi having a negotiation with RBR?

Third time lucky for Verstappen

Looking at the incident again not only did max pass RBR outside the track but he also had a dangerous rentry, before the safe entry point, impeded Hamilton and forced him to lose another place. To be fair he should also get a time penalty for that

With the negotiation that happened, clearly these guys are keen not to offend Redbull. So what do you think?

It is unbelievable. He is negotiating the regulations with Redbull and informing Mercedes their decision. The guy is an idiot.

I guess they wanted to give them the opportunity to give the place back that could not be given because of the crash. Seems bizzare to negotiate but its not so different than if the race had continued with no red flag.

If a rule has been broken. They are paid to apply the consequential penalty. Not to negotiate what penalty to apply. It is that simple.

Max didn't have the opportunity to give the place back because of the crash.

What you are saying would mean that giving the place back (as they normally allow) is against the rules? They have that exact same option in normal circumstances with no red flag.

How it panned out is just an unprecedented situation and just seems weird until you consider the above.

Are they going to finish this race under VSC?
This is totally ridiculous, nobody is cleaning anything up. Useless track, useless marshalling.

Indeed. Why even bother giving a VSC for a dangerous situation when they don't fix the danger under it?
