No, you're right. I'm just exasperated it takes this long to even decide if they can appeal.
I'm also leaning towards a dismissal because it's not really new significant evidence. Provides an escape clause for the FIA.

Personally I think the hold up is that the onboard footage doesn't really meet the criteria of new significant evidence so they don't want to allow the appeal on that basis, but now its out there and the incident has been replayed a million times, they are stuck between a rock and a hard place of "well it was probably a penalty but there isn't really any NEW significant evidence to launch the appeal"

Made the mistake of watching "The F1 Show" earlier, and they spent a portion of the show arguing that Verstappen needs a grid penalty.
Damon Hill said he wouldn't have gone for that move in that situation

Damon Hill is a massive Hamilton homer, though.

Lol at Bottas going off track by a mile, coming back on and going fastest and not having his time deleted.

So many cars picking up damage from the curbs. They are going to have to take a look at it.

They were saying before they think he is using an older engine so they can flog the new one in the last 2 races.

Whatever you think of him or whether you think it's insincere or tokenistic, everyone surely agrees this is a cause worth highlighting when racing in Qatar (and the next two races).

That has been changed after FP1 so now it is on the purple and white curbs rather than the white line. Gives them a bit more width since there was so many problems with staying on track.
If I wasn't at work on Sunday I'd watch the race in my latest birthday suit...
Yes the drivers need to look at how they drive.
Sick of the drivers moaning over track conditions.

Don’t they all use old engines in FP?
After the rocket ship engine he had a few days ago it would feel awful.

Pretty much every race weekend except for some early in the season because there isn't really 'old' engine to use in FP1/2

I want the championship to be decided on the track, not off it.
Getting sick of the constant back and forth (and coverage of said back and forth) between Christian Horner and Toto Wolff.

Perez didn’t make it though to Q3.
Barring a massive disaster for MERC, that’s got to be both championships over you reckon
For the constructor's it's a blow, but not for the driver's. If Max gets himself to say, 2nd or 3rd in Q3, and stays there, the title battle will remain wide open.
I was about to say well done Ocon, then I saw via the BBC site that Alonso is in third in Q2?!
I can't wait for Christian and Toto to get to Yas Marina and start angrily making love in the middle of the pit straight
It's what everyone wants to see
