I look forward to an objective standard which distinguishes between copying and inspiration. Spoiler alert: There isn't one.

I think Toto got it right:

Mercedes chief Wolff gave the view that the FIA had attempted to find a middle ground with its ruling, only to trigger anger on both sides of the fence.

"I think the FIA wanted to come up with a solution that kind of lets everybody live," Wolff said. "Now Racing Point is pretty upset. They believe they have a strong case, and they have lawyers ready to go and appeal.

"And on the other side, what I see, there is a group forming, a little revolution in every sense, and they are trying to go after Racing Point, because I guess they are upset they haven't got the performance Racing Point has."

By moving to resolve the case, the FIA appears to have only lit the blue-touch paper on all sides of the 'pink Mercedes' debate, dragging in the majority of the grid and appeasing no-one.

Hulk outqualifies Stroll...and Verstappen.

?

 

[SmellBlind]

No motivation like being out of a job...

Still very impressive, Danny Ric had good pace and nice to see Albon in Q3 as well

Lawrence needs to shuffle Lance off to Indycar or LMP1

Digging the RP version of the Hulk lid:

Any thoughts on what happens next year when the unlimited spending goes away? Mercedes still rules of course but maybe competition increases for the middle of the pack.

Ferrari will be an even bigger joke. Charles and Carlos are going to regret signing with Ferrari

Hulkenburg is going to get his 1st podium finish and then it's going to be taken away for the Racing Point rear brake drama.

How sad would that be!

I'm reasonably sure that Max will pass him, but I hope that he can do it.

That would be awful. How can you not root for Hulk this weekend.
