It's happening. Baku DSQ would be the least controversial penalty. Vettel gets to drive in Austria and it puts him even with Hamilton or he will remain ahead by just two points (depends if they change the results). The FIA will have made it clear to Vettel that his outbursts will have consequences.

Verstappen gets 25k just for not doing post-race media. So probably not quite that low.

This is what happens when you try to race stock cars on a karting circuit.

Walls need more tires!
Looks like they have plenty of tires, they need more walls!
Or just some barrels filled with water. Anything to stop momentum.

I used to when I was a kid too, got back into it about 6 years ago but stopped after a year. There's nowhere near the interest in it that there used to be, the nearest club to race at is about 20 miles from me where there used to be a lot more local. Oh and with brushless motors and lipo batteries the cars are ridiculously fast compared to the cars I used as a kid.
Tempted to pick up one of these for a bit of fun:

I race FPV now, but I still have my 1/8 electric Buggy and Truggy sitting there ready to go, but Im not working / dealing with anxiety / cant afford the cost of tyres etc. otherwise I'd love to get back into it. Would also love to race F1 RC, but either Im imagining things or the price of surface vehicles has sky rocketed lately and there's no real onroad clubs around me anywah.
Its good fun, just it has a high entry price and on going costs associated with it.
Surprisingly the FPV stuff is actually a lot cheaper. I can build 3 racing quads for the cost of one decent on or offroad vehicle.

My history with F1 only dates a few years of following the races but a childhood of playing an F1 game on the N64. I completely forgot how I actually knew a lot of the circuits. That leads me to today where I watch compilation videos of funny/crazy F1 things and man that shit is crazy sometimes! Just recently watched Mika's crash and subsequent thoughts on it all.
for the car nerds, Goodwood is live streaming all weekend on Youtube

Serious Ferrari cash going up the hill atm.
Their "Name as many as you can" had less available points than for example the Toro Rossos got.
HOW CAN THERE BE A FAIR WINNER OF THE GRILL THE GRID CHAMPIONSHIP THIS WAY?

Britan, Spain, Finland and the Netherlands. lol
I understand Britain due to Hamilton and Spain due to residual Alonso salt from the Red Bull years, but what's up with the other two

If Seb served a ban, Verstappen, Bottas and Kimi would score more points in future races.

Finland because of Bottas, the Netherlands because Germany keeps beating them in football.

Goodwood apparently being something Drew and Dave were unfamiliar with, which is a bit of a surprise. I'd hope Danny would have been able to put them right.
Uhm, I'll let you know that everyone beats us in football these days, so there!Finland because of Bottas, the Netherlands because Germany keeps beating them in football.
To be fair, they know next to nothing about autosport outside of the few years of F1 they've watched.

It's a bit shocking sometimes, but I still like them for the entertainment value and the race preview/recap, as it helps me to get into the mood and remind me of certains events during the race. It's annoying that they didn't have as many podcasts together this year, though.

Ronbo sold his McLaren shares to the Bahrainis for £275m, there's nothing stopping Ojjeh from dumping Honda now.
The Japanese journo who called the Sauber Honda deal last year says McLaren could run the Mercedes PU in a b-spec car at the Hungary test.
McLaren are finished.

I thought Dave had a bit more knowledge of it? Or was it that he'd been to more races?
This got a chuckle out of me.
LOOOL this should be used every time people talk about being objective...
This got a chuckle out of me.
Hilarious. More obvious political voting than Eurovision.

I'd maaaaaaaybe agree with "The Jense" and "move on" if it was an isolated incident and if Vettel was a man and owned up to a stupid move, HOWEVER this is not Vettel's first road rige issue and it MUST be looked into.
Yeah, if this was an isolated incident and he showed some contrition then fair enough, it's racing move on.
But after the charlie thing and then afterwards being a petulant brat about it, not showing any contrition then I was really unimpressed, it should be looked at and I think he should have been blackflagged in the race.
He has these outbursts every so often and he vacillates from being really happy and funny to being a full tilt dickhead, even Lewis doesn't flip out like that.

Nah, they should just admit that their statement to him that they would not tolerate more behaviour of this kind was just an empty threat and move on.
Because reasons.
zero fucks given
He should do it again.
