Congrats to Hank for taking home the points total for the race!

Onward we go to the British GP next weekend! See everyone there!!

Baby steps...

 

[forty_three]

Bodes well for a longer event.

Or not. Haven't watched the full race and understand Hamilton had trouble keeping it between the lines, but they flat out fizzled. Hope they get their shit together for British GP.

Yup, it was Hamilton's turn to exceed the limits. Cost him yesterday in the Shootout too. But he wasn't alone.

Rules is rules though.

I dont know how the rules of this game goes, but Alonso is being awarded 4th place & Sainz 6th. After all the post race penalties. Norris was also hit with a post race penalty. After Aston Martin filed a complaint. I guess they are looking into perez as well. That might give Alonso a podium LOL
If you adjust points after the fact. That would change @forty_three & @ckhokie points. at this moment. More remains to be seen. I guess.

When they get done with final tally, then I'll make the changes if any.

yeah it sounds like there will be more protest after the penalties are levied

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I think Norris got fourth. And Alonso was fifth. Sainz dropped out of fourth.

And I think I had Norris in fourth. Period

 

[Retroram52]

Yeah, Hank. I'll take into account all changes soon. F-1 usually gets all of the previous race issues completed before the next race. Hang in there.

By the way, in my post there the “Period” was me talking to my phone, not stamping my foot

 

[Retroram52]

No worries.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I believe it will make me no longer the person sucking the brown tit.

I think it's a 6 pointer for 43 and I.

 

[Retroram52]

O.K. the final tally for the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix is as follows:
Verstappen
LeClerc
Perez
Norris
Alonso
Sainz
Russell.
This is the top 7. Norris was awarded Fourth Place, Alonso Fifth Place, and Sainz to Sixth Place.

So, 43 loses 3 points and Hank gains 3 points.
