    Perez doing his part in the constructors by getting a point (/s obviously). Hell, Danny scored as many points as Checo for RB by snatching that fastest lap away.

      You don’t get a point for FL if you’re not top 10, he just took it from Lando.

      But I defo agree with your sentiment lol

        I know, but Lando not getting it is worth more for Verstappen personally and for RB as a team it’s the same in point difference with McLaren.

        Daniel taking that point was only to help Max and afaik, they are not supposed to coordinate like that between teams

          Yeah McLaren surely will complain about that coordination, at least behind closed doors if not publicly

          I thought so too. Just looked through the sporting regs and couldn’t find anything about inter-team coordination

            Yeah, it would be super hard to prove as well

            Considering McLaren is the most affected but they ended up winning big today, I doubt anything willl happen

            Plus it was Ricciardo’s good bye race so they’ll likely be super lenient

            Personally I would have preferred the highlight of Ricciardo’s last race to be a good race but, sadly, that did not happen

              Yup, agree. They may complain, and worst case it’ll be like “okay … Stop it then”

              The driver’s championship has a chance be super tight in the end, so I get it, but daaaang what a classic petty F1 move to make the jr team pit lol
