I don't like the constant drama about everything, I'm here to see 20 cars go round in circles and be fascinated by car and aero development, particularly when it comes to exploited loopholes

...national sporting body suddenly realises no F1 driver has respected article 2.5.5 b) of Appendix H of the FIA International Sporting Code for at least a decade, decides now is a good time to make an issue of it.

2.5.5 Signals used at marshal posts
a)
Red flag
This should be shown waved only on
instruction from the Clerk of the Course when
it becomes necessary to stop a practice
session or the race in conformity with Article
2.4.4.1 b) above.
b)
Yellow flag
This is a signal of danger and should be
shown to drivers in two ways with the
following meanings: - Single waved: Reduce your speed, do not
overtake, and be prepared to change
direction. There is a hazard beside or partly
on the track. It must be evident that a driver
has reduced speed; this means a driver is
expected to have braked earlier and/or
noticeably reduced speed in that sector. - Double waved: Reduce your speed
significantly, do not overtake, and be
prepared to change direction or stop. There
is a hazard wholly or partly blocking the
track and/or marshals working on or beside
the track. During free practice and
qualifying, it must be evident that a driver
has not attempted to set a meaningful lap
time; this means the driver should abandon
the lap (this does not mean he has to pit as

I've watched the FIA make lots of mistakes over the last 6 ish years (some of them serious) and they almost never admit a mistake was made.

Like, people are going to make mistakes. Own it and improve. I feel like I'm going insane.

It's worth noting that in the fan video of this incident taken from the grandstands, Lawson is going extremely slowly, in a situation where one would expect him to be at maximum attack to make up time.
Frankly it's a VERY rare occurrence of a driver actually respecting double yellow correctly.

There is only one place where blame of any description can lie for this incident - race control.
They have all the data, the live trackers, the cameras, the comms and the ability to neutralise the track completely. They carry the responsibility of maintaining safety for marshals on the track.

Lawson slams Sainz over Mexico GP crash that "destroyed" his car and "killed" his race

Liam Lawson has slammed Carlos Sainz’s driving after a collision greatly damaged both their cars at the start of Formula 1’s Mexico Grand Prix. The incident happened in Turn 1, after Fernando Alonso tapped the rear of Esteban Ocon’s car. Sainz swerved left to avoid the slow Haas, but that swerve meant he drove into Lawson’s Racing Bulls.

OK, here's my thinking.
Has he got a 'point'? Honestly, yes. All things considered, sure he has got a point.
Has he got a 'case'? Honestly, no.
It's too long and the key information is from someone who isn't known for reliability.
The precedent set if it goes his way opens a very destructive door.

All 10 Formula 1 teams successfully obliged with the championship cost cap during the 2024 season with only Aston Martin found to be in a “procedural breach”, the FIA has confirmed. F1 introduced a cost cap in 2021 to try and create a more level playing field between the top and bottom teams, as frontrunning outfits had significantly larger budgets than backmarkers. The cap started

Looks like Sainz car wasn't off track at all and displaying signs of being on fire, so I'd say a VSC is justified

I understand their caution to some extent but surely you just leave the car where it is for the last couple of laps and cover it with yellows

Those complaining about the Virtual Safety Car at the end of the race should note race control had good reason to be extra-vigilant given what happened earlier on.
