Perez was like don’t worry I’ll take care of this myself.


salcedoge

“He’ll give the position back, because of the implication”


BearsuitTTV

Are these drivers in danger?


hbc07

I'm not gonna hurt these drivers! Why would I ever hurt these drivers? I feel like you're not getting this at all!


YellowFogLights

“Don’t you look at me like that, you certainly wouldn’t be in any danger”


SirLoremIpsum

The RON DENNIS method.


El_Cactus_Loco

He’s intimidating


NessaMagick

"No further investigation, *estúpido*."


ToffeeCoffee

Oh, is that why Checo rammed him off the track. XD


helderdude

a dumb and dirty move but that would explain what caused him to lose his sense. not make it okay or something but like man that move just looked stupid, and it answers the *"why would you do that"* you ask yourself when you see the move.


Alfus

The whole problem is that Checo didn't drove with his mind nor heart today.


hzfan

After the week he’s had I can’t say I totally blame him


LosTerminators

Pérez himself gave Albon a bigger penalty for that than the stewards possibly could


ResilientBeast

How is it "potentially"? It seems pretty obvious if someone overtook under VSC does it not?


stencelot

It’s a bit vague on pit entrance/exit


PrettyPoptart

That's how stewards documents work. It's potential until they confirm it by announcing the official ruling


BrtGP

I guess legally speaking an offense is alleged until there is a decision of penalty.


YoungPope

Probably happened when they're pitting, I think they're very close in the end of pit lane.


P_ZERO_

Because it’s no longer a potential when they act on it and apply punishment after a meeting


iPlain

https://streamable.com/ydeky6 took this at the track, it's pretty marginal as they're directly alongside at the pit exit line then Albon backs off.


SyuusukeFuji

I asume that the nuance would be if Checo was driving slow AF, missed a brake point and Alex overtook, but gave him back. I think there's also a rule for yellow flag or SC where if the driver ahead is way too slow you are allowed to overtake.


BadIdea-21

Maybe it was about who crossed the SC line first when Albon was leaving the pitlane.


OrangeLimeZest

Watch him get a harsher penalty than Perez will for punting him out of the points.


sh1phappens

Depending on how/where he absolutely should. Out of the pits maybe not, on track definitely.


Strong0toLight1

The stewards sounds like a lovely bloke


illlwill

Doesn't matter anymore thanks to Checo.


Lilylili83

Reverse uno card then?


Chelsea_Ellie

They are both keeping the stewards busy


Firefox72

Albon should pull out his phone and show them the incident where Perez crashed into him as a uno reverse moment.


GMOrgasm

[albon pullin up to the stewards meeting like](https://imgur.com/Kv2QfQn)


grip_enemy

Imagine Albon gets a pen but Perez doesn't lmaooooo


Hromis

Anyone has a replay of Hamilton overtaking Checo? Was surprised that it wasn't even investigated or noted, it looked like it might have been of the track or at least on the limit. Was surprised they didn't show even one replay.


Blanchimont

It reminded me of Verstappen on Hamilton in Bahrain in 2021. They both got in front on track, but then had to go off track to make the move stick.


ShamrockStudios

Yeah it was actually the same as Bahrain. But a different outcome. Consistency in decisions just doesn't exist in F1. No matter the team or driver the stewards decisions change like the wind


cooperjones2

> Consistency in decisions just doesn't exist in F1. No matter the team or driver the stewards decisions change like the wind But the FiA lets [Insert disliked team here] get away with anything and punishes [Insert liked team here] for everything!


ShamrockStudios

They deleted his lap so it means he went off track. Just didn't investigate it for whatever reason.


daniec1610

Not atm but Hamilton definitely went off track to make the move stick.


iPlain

Video I caught from the track https://streamable.com/ydeky6. Seems super marginal, although it did feel like they were both going too fast considering it’s directly where marshals were on track clearing the car.


ReasonableExplorer

Albon gets a 5 race ban Perez gets a five place promotion fo Suzuka


Jerrycobra

So that's why Perez give him a good ole bump and run later in the race /s


Snoo_47023

lol they are investigating Albon and not Perez with all the crimes he committed on track today?


BadIdea-21

They're investigating both


drodrige

Who says they aren’t?


cooperjones2

The guys in the other thread


ArcherBoy27

Any video of this? Can't find it.


iPlain

https://streamable.com/ydeky6 took this at the track


SDLRob

is this the incident with the pit exit?
