Standard is 5 though.
I want what you been taking.
Just be careful when you get down from your high when the dissapointment meets reality.
Not really worthy of 5 IMO. He blocked Raikkonnen and messed up his lap of course, but there was also not much else he could of done bar turning right across the grass. But also he shouldn't have put the car there in the first place. Tricky call, consistent penalty I think
Thank God. Now we get Leclerc vs Verstappen vs Norris! Am actually excited for the race (unlike the French Farce)
Quote BBC:
"Hamilton pre-empted the official announcement of his grid drop by several minutes by writing "3 place penalty..." on an Instagram post.
In a separate post, he conceded that he "totally deserved the penalty today and have no problem accepting it".
The penalty is consistent with Saintz in Canada.
I think leclerk would walk this race to P1 in any case, but the other podium positions could be tightly contested by anyone in the top 5.

Watched the quali with an hour delay. Future champs on P1 & P2.
Gasly (again): ouch...
Vettel has some battles to overwin and keep his head cool due to a damaged floor in quali.
Already looking forward to this race. Great to see the enormous amount of Orange Army again. Will they have something to celebrate afterwards??

Cause that in general has been the penalty for blocking under qualifying. Why is it suddenly only 3 for Hamilton? F1 penalties are so incredibly random, it's not hard to come up with "much conspiracy man".
Well, Russell got a 3sec penalty for obstructing Kvyat.
Just saying...
My question was and still is: where do you get that 5 is the norm?
Cause every blocking penalty has been like that...why all of a sudden only 3 for Hamilton? If 3 were the norm, you could also argue that all those 5 place penalties were dubious at best.
it's this kind of idiocy that makes F1 a farce.
Same issues, only recent ones:
Sainz vs Albon - Canada 2019 - 3 place grid penalty
Giovinazzi vs Hulkenberg - Monaco 2019 - 3 place grid penalty
Gasly vs Grojean - same event - 3 place grid penalty
Vettel vs Sainz - Austria 2018 - 3 place grid penalty
That has been the standard for years.

No floor damage, some sort of pneumatic line for the PU had an issue, whether that was as a result of hitting a kerb or not we do not know, put seems like it wasn't Seb this time
