Verstappen lost be position to Vettel?
I'd take it. Only way really.

Just let them say what they want I reckon. There's no clever way to do this.
Someone needs to take a stand at this point and just say what they want
Danny Ric is miles back now

Wonderboy got screwed there.
Absolutely agree, the new rules are total BS.
All we ages for was for teams to stop telling drivers that they should brake later in turn 3,or use 5th though turn 7 and that shit. From that desire the FIA came up with this bollocks.
If you *are* going to have rules of this nature, perhaps it should work in a way kinda akin to the 'overtaking outside track limits' rule: if circumstances mean you have to break the rules, you're given the leeway to compensate for it yourself before penalties come into play.
So in this example, wouldn't it solve all the problems demonstrated so far is if the rule was tweaked to 'you can communicate fully in the pit or if you go into the pit within two laps of the communication' ? That gives the scope to give enough info to get to the pit safely.

Yes but then you have to make a distinction between where it might be an brake safety issue and coaching. It's too difficult, that's why the rules are so restrictive
It's really not difficult. If the car has a mechanical issue it's fine. It's telling them how to drive the actual car that is the problem. Don't change gear clearly isn't coaching, it's preventing the car going bang.

Come on Hamilton. What is the problem now?
Luring Rosberg into dirty air

The teams will get clever though. Then it's a problem
Pretty much. FOM has instructed them to make the race more "exciting". The technical problem radio messages alone just aren't doing it anymore.

If Vettel received a penalty related to the track limits. He will complain a lot.
I miss Maldonado.

Maybe Lewis is just trying to keep it interesting for the fans
We all do. Lets hope he gets a drive for next season.
Then you address it from there. That's how the rules of F1 have been made since the start. Make rule, teams work something out, make new rule.
Nobody wanted this, nobody asked for this. Just one more way that the FIA and the powers that be in F1 have their heads buried in their own arseholes.
Is Bernd Maylander looking to retire?

I reckon eventually we'd be sat here discussing whether a coded or not coded message should decide the outcome of a race
And that would be the worst possible outcome
Seeing Maldonado joining the action after a crash sounds like a time paradox.

Most boring race ever. Can Sky viewers confirm if Brundle is commentating?
I agree. There should be an exception if it's to deal with mechanical problems or the team can prove a problem was likely (like high brake temperatures). I don't see how that can be exploited to coach drivers. "Avoid changing gears" is a very different message to "use gear X in turn Y" or "brake later in turn Z". IIRC they are still allowed to tell them default modes to activate as long as performance isn't improved over what it was prior to the problem.
