What's the excuse of Mercedes amg petronas formula one team organization for not being under the podium of george's 100th gp with them after they yet again wasted his pole with an idiotic strategy?

i hate the way these "experts" talk about oscar. paid zero attention to his quali run, are now saying that norris "is the only one holding up mclaren's honour today" and that "piastri doesn't seem to gel with this season's car the way that norris does". oscar qualified 0.089 secs slower than his team mate btw. quali head to head this season is 4-3 in favor of oscar rn btw. like

as much as i hate that pierre and alpine had the penalties rescinded, its good to see a team stand up for their driver bcs my driver’s team is more than willingly to ALWAYS, without fail, throw him under the bus.

it’s not just the fact that mclaren didn’t appeal the penalty, it’s the fact that zak brown, the CEO, openly admitted that “yes oscar was speeding” like dude there’s proof to show he wasn’t.

this is just like brazil last year where every. single. person. in f1 defended oscar and called the penalty unfair to the point where they had an official meeting with the drivers to talk about incidents like that and rules were also changed (following that incident) yet zak brown and mclaren didn’t even DEFEND oscar let alone appeal the fucking penalty.

this team is so fucking ready to j let their drivers take the blame for everything.

fuck mclaren.

I'm sorry but overturning a race result for one (1) driver because of a systematic issue that affected multiple drivers is bullshit. If the FIA wanted to overturn Gasly's penalty they should have also overturned them for all the other drivers, regardless if they served it or not. Alpine and Gasly kept winging on about losing a podium that he "deserved" when he was only running in p3 because the drivers in front of him served a bullshit penalty. Like he didn't get that position on merit. Like George and Oscar both ended being doubly punished; George had to serve a drive-through penalty for failing to serve a penalty that shouldn't have happened that he possibly would have gotten disqualified is he didn't serve which resulted in him being out of the points and Oscar who is also being demoted because McLaren made him serve the penalty.

Like if I'm George Russell and I'm in the middle of a championship battle against my teammate and I score ZERO points in a race because of a bullshit penalty that is overturned for someone else who is hardly relevant in the championship I would be absolutely fuming.

Also it sets such a horrible precedent that if teams really wanted they could gamble not serving penalties on the principal that they can get them overturned almost a week after the race happens.

I think ultimately the FIA should not be able to change race results after a certain period of time because waiting FIVE days to change the results is so unfair to everyone else.
