Loved the guy to bits. Mika will always be one of my favourite drivers.

I do have a problem with PlanetF1 tho. They used to be an awesome source of info. 


But now I worry about the “competitions”

Every page is littered with ads these days. I just block them, mostly.

WEirdly these never get blocked on there anymore

#3131

Thats because it is not an ad from a third party, but rather a link to their own competitions page
 You are correct though, this is very weird competitions for a Formula 1 site!

Ooh, F1 to be broadcast on Twitch! Even if it is not available everywhere, this is an interesting prospect :wink:

The interesting thing is that they weren’t found to be in breach of the technical regulations but in breach of the sporting regulations. I wonder if Renault will fight that.

Yikes. This is unfortunate. There hasn’t been a disqualification in ages, that I can recall at least.

Good for McLaren though.

The last DQ was given to McLaren if I recall correctly for the 2007 Spygate stuff. But the Renault DQ is a bit dubious.

You’re not technically breaking the rules.

But we feel that you’re breaching the rules, so we’ll punish you anyways

Spygate was a bit different though, in that McLaren were stripped of all constructors points but not disqualified from any specific race. The wins and finishing positions they achieved in 2007 have not been removed from the official standings.

I had a quick peek, and there were three disqualifications last year. Grosjean was DSQ’d from 6th place at the Italian GP for a floor infringement, and Ocon and Magnussen from the US GP for fuel-related infringements.

In summary, my memory is a bit short.

I don’t remember half the time anyway. I feel bad for Renault

Personally, I’m surprised they’re not even making a token appeal just to try save a little face. Perhaps worried that not only would their appeal be rejected, but that the FIA might find the need to take a closer look at previous races?
