But what did Lando do though?
My understanding is that he slowed down on the race track leading up to pit entry so that McLaren could double-stack him after Piastri. It's against the rules to deliberately go slow and impede like that.
@WatTyler makes sense, but its sad that it wasn’t covered in the broadcast
They did discuss it on the international (Sky) broadcast.
They discussed it on the F1TV broadcast as well.
@WatTyler was unfortunately listening to the Dutch one
Ted whinged about the nondescript nature of the penalty so much that someone from the FIA got in touch to tell them what it was for.
They talked about it on the F1 Live commentary.
Loved the way the penalty was phrased: "Unsportsmanlike behavior". Aka being like a total dick you know.
Interesting that Nando didn't get a penalty for doing it worse at Monaco last year
I don't remember Alonso driving overtly slowly under a safety car which led to an enormous gap between him and car ahead
No, he did it under racing conditions. I didn't realize that Lando had done it under SC, so perhaps that's the difference.
