    There needs to be more consistency with regards to policing track-limits, but there's no doubt that Max gained an advantage by cutting the inside of the corner.
    It should also be added that exceeding track-limits on the 'outside' is different cuz you may or may not gain an advantage. Either way, there needs to be more clarification.

    Dunno what all the fuss is about. I think it's a pretty straight forward and logical decision.

    Two arguments, I think.

    A. That the pass was legal cuz Kimi squeezed him. Mario, Nico R. and a few others see it that way. But on the replay, it looked like Kimi gave him a decent amount of space.
    B. That the pass was illegal, but cuz there were so many other track-limit offenses, this should have been let go as well. That's down to the inconsistency of the officiating.

    He had space to make the overtake stick without cutting and lot of the other drivers went off track round the outside but I don't remember seeing any one else cut through the inside to overtake and make it stick.

    100% right decision by the stewards imo. Jos Verstappen is embarrassing himself, with his tweets...

    If there is no space to overtake Kimi without cutting the corner and gaining a big advantage by it, Max just has to break. It's simple as this.

    Max and Seb's laps! :wow:

    But Lew can casually peddle around and seal it.

    Raikonen and Ricciardo were nowhere, goodness me.
    Mercedes not good in this track but Lewis had the best long run pace on Friday so hopefully he can challenge for the win and if not just bring it home.

    Also Congrats to Vettel on 50 poles, great qualifier.

    Max penalty would rob us off Max vs Seb first lap battle but at the same time it would give us Lewis vs Seb again.

    Ocon doing a great job again, hopefully he's in consideration for the Merc seat for 2019.
    Dude's very tall too :wow: :lol:

    Man, if they penalize Max... last week was clear-cut... not so much this week.

    Get's penalised for staying off the track in Austin

    Gets penalised for staying on the track in Mexico

    That would be kind of funny :lol:
    I think he did impact Bottas but he shouldn't get penalised for it.

    :lol: I mean, I'm sure the McLaren chassis is one of the better ones on the grid, but that's just Fernando being Fernando.

    This will be one hell of a start. Wouldn't be surprised if they crash at all.
