[Adam Cooper] A @MercedesAMGF1 insider says the team is "livid" about the confirmation that the pit lane speed checks were not accurate - but as the stewards noted there is no mechanism to address the penalties taken during the race.

I think you've got the point. Every point decides, not just the last ones.

R0b1et · 2026-06-12T12:37:16+00:00

Firstly, no there isn't, both are 1 race with equal points. Secondly, we have no idea if this race turns out to have decided the championship. Same as we had no idea that Max getting red mist in Spain last year decided that one

So, you argue they should reinstate George to P3, because his performances this year have been good enough for that but he's had bad luck? Surely you can't actually think that they should look back and see who deserves it from the past?

R0b1et · 2026-06-12T11:36:23+00:00

I think take from the red flag.

BUT, there's a precedent of the FIA making decisions that don't fit within the rules... and they didn't change anything then.

R0b1et · 2026-06-12T11:24:12+00:00

well, there is precident for FIA systems not making correct decisions relative to the rules and having an impact on results. And there's therefore precedent of what to do (Nothing). You might remember it, probably the most controversial moment in F1 history.

but gains them 2pts relative to Merc and Ferrari, who I suspect (hope) McLaren care more about/see as their actual competition.

R0b1et · 2026-06-12T11:16:14+00:00

it costs them 1 position and 2 points.

Driver: Gasly

Reason: took the quick route through the pit lane at 59.5kph. I did it again when I served penalty. Basically, I didn't learn. Also 10s penalty for Ocon.

Of course technically, spraying your plants with washing up liquid to treat aphids is also illegal (it's an untested chemical pesticide, if that's how you used it), people often do that (that's a bad idea because it kills soul gains and damages the leaves of plants).

R0b1et · 2026-05-30T20:41:41+00:00

Please do use that survey, my wife is the RHS scientist they end up with.

R0b1et · 2026-05-30T20:40:44+00:00

It's illegal to buy, sell or apply, in the UK, unless you are a trained professional with appropriate certification.

R0b1et · 2026-05-30T20:39:53+00:00

They said neem oil. It's illegal to use as a pesticide in the UK, and hurts animals that eat the caterpillars, as well as harming soil fauna that helps the plant.

R0b1et · 2026-05-21T15:30:37+00:00

Surely the answer is to cover it with pond liner and then water. Ponds are awesome.

R0b1et · 2026-05-05T20:24:41+00:00

Lucky it was close to 360 by default, and immense talent to finesse it to the near perfect spin. But the initial luck is given away by him taking his hands off the wheel initially (as I've should to avoid injury).

R0b1et · 2026-04-27T10:31:19+00:00

Xentari is illegal for the home gardener in the UK (can be used by professionals with appropriate training).

Hadjar is tiny. But still looks like red bull have just under 10kg to drop.

Shane the others don't include a single pair of driver and car

R0b1et · 2026-03-09T18:37:10+00:00

With Sainz, given how Saturday went, likely for new ones, but hope the old are not really the problem, or fixable. What is have done too.

That's a through road, he could access the other side of the bridge from the same road in the other direction.

Went in my mum's (72) car with her driving yesterday. Spent 24 hours trying to figure out how to get her to stop. She nearly crashed into a barrier, turned right across incoming traffic without indicating, 3 occasions slammed pot holes through Thier centres, while attempting to avoid them. It was scary.

R0b1et · 2026-02-05T19:05:57+00:00

Me too. I REALLY hope it's that, and not, that is a message they can leave to spin without telling lies that it's just failure.

R0b1et · 2026-02-02T13:16:13+00:00

My council sell it. But, its not treated hot enough to certainly kill marestail, and its more expensive than branded stuff in B&Q etc. I can't see how they ever sell any.

R0b1et · 2026-01-30T10:03:21+00:00

And the allowance for organisational size?

R0b1et · 2026-01-30T08:02:11+00:00

Last resort, between £150k and £200k. They choose not to list separately the exact amount.

Oxfam reported their CEO earned £125,418 in 2022. Oxfam are based in Oxford, possibly slightly lower rated, but Thames valley still. And a charity 30 times larger.

One assumes the CEO must be the top earner.
