Does anyone know what this cylinder/puck-shaped part is? I've seen drivers take it out along with the steering wheel when getting out. I don't remember seeing it before.

Seems like there is a bump in turn 12 causing issues
Going to be a very wet quali https://mastodon.nl/@_formula1_/113414540046519282
Is ruth wearing a sleeveless raincoat¿?
Of course, yet another controversial decision by the FIA, when the red flag is being pulled out after keeping it yellow until after Norris set a new time and Max just started on his lap.
How obvious does it need to get?
I also don't like conspiracy theories (even though i said yesterday that the sprint VSC felt very manipulated), but the FIA's decisions on yellow/red/vsc have been just dangerous this weekend, waiting so long for a VSC yesterday while Hulk was so close to the track and now waiting almost a minute with the Stroll incident in this weather is just awful decision making by FIA.
They clearly waited for the drivers on fast laps to go through the chequered flag here, and only switched to red flag when they saw Max not improving on his last lap. I kinda understand why they do that, but yeah it's not the most safe thing to do.
The FIA is not even trying to hide it, they are doing everything in their power to make Norris win.
