Looking at the list (link) leads me to think that the FIA is trying to avoid criticism of nationalistic bias by having representatives from many countries (all those holding a GP?). I take that they...

So...€50,000 worth of disorderly conduct, since 12.1.1.i reads "Failure to follow the instructions of the relevant officials for the safe and orderly conduct of the Event."

Or was it a safety...

...didn't convince you, how about this link?

Binotto said his team’s cars have had their fuel weights checked on many previous occasions with no problems. “I think this year we have been checked at least 10 times,” he said....

More or less? Try this link.

If it's of any interest, here's a link to the decision document...Offence Doc41 - Ferrari (Fuel Declaration)...and another to the Official Classification.

Stewards issued a fine of €50,000, but Leclerc keeps his third place...link:



The FIA's findings read: "TD/014-19 required teams to declare the amount of fuel that they intended to put in the...

Still 10 minutes to go before the stewards start on Ferrari's fuel problem. "A team representative is required to report to the Stewards at 19:45"...that's 15h45 GMT.

Technical Delegate’s Report



The fuel declaration of car number 16 was checked before the car leaft the pit-lane. There was a significant difference between the declaration of the team and the...

I could read that the wrong way...:smile-new:

Offence Doc7 - Car 77 (PU elements)

See...Valtteri and Emilia Bottas call it a day

And then...Vettel to arrive...

Offence Doc12 - Car 77 (incident with car 8 in turn 11)


No / Driver 77 - Valtteri Bottas

Decision Reprimand - Driving (This is the driver’s 1st reprimand of the season)

Reason - Valtteri...

The weekend begins...link:


Valtteri Bottas thought he had room to overtake on the inside

Romain Grosjean disagreed



Drivers are seeing the stewards at the time of posting.

Against that pic I offer:

So this is one 'dumb' overtake followed by 'a pretty normal move...for Vettel'?

As for Vettel's manoeuvre...I think the BBC got it about right:

There must be a case for speeding up the process with assistants to review and present the data in a condensed form...maybe they do that already? I say that as they're getting faster...5s penalty for...

Desirable, but probably not achievable, IMO. Even the regs say "The official classification will be published after the race. It will be the only valid result...".

Five minutes from when? I'd suggest once they have seen the available evidence. With the driver and team interviews that they've already completed for other infractions, they've probably only just go...

And I think that it would have been more reasonable for Vettel to have moved over and allowed Leclerc on his fresher tyres to have a go at Albon in time to grab a podium place. But then they are...

Does that move LH to 7th?

Update Answering my own question, yes it does...according to one website I've just seen.
