Saturday and Sunday's races, taken together, show that a combination of skill, mental robustness and technology will always win out. Vastly amusing post on the web, purporting to be a FIA Stewards decision,punishing all of the first 3 drivers for "Unsafe Use of Champagne" on the Podium. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/11/15/Screenshot-2021-11-15-at-18.05.44.png)

He may not be my favourite character but his skills were right there at the weekend. He was just faster.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

What a truly pathetic state of afairs almost up there with cutting down trees to prevent children playing that well know killer game-----conkers.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

That's funny and I guess a windup but interstingly Lewis did get fined 5000 Euros and 20,000 suspended for taking his seat belt off after the race when he grabbed the Brazilian flag

Versteppan's footage has been released he quite clearly didn't turn until after he missed the apex. I fear we might see a Shoemacker Hill situation develop very soon the stewards must have been having tea and a cake when this happened. Em

The corner has a nice big run off area so it was a "safe" place, but I don't think he intended to go off as well. Money, fame and egos are never an attractive combination of characteristics. It seems that Mercedes has been allowed to request an investigation, based on new (video?) evidence

It's certainly going to be an interesting afternoon tomorrow, now the stewards seem to have given the nod for more off-track action.

Certainly, and LeClerc said he will be modifying his driving style to take this new ruling into account so it should be fun. The Stewards are going to look pretty stupid if they all go for it on and off track as I imagine they will .  It'll be like watching Lyden Hill Rallycross... p.s. I think Verstappen will have great success when he graduates to Stock Car Racing as his antics are the one's I used to witness at Great Yarmouth many moons ago now...
