You do realise he isn't the only steward, right?

Wow, won't be surprised if they also punish Hulk for leaving his car, if I'm not mistaken I think a driver has been fined before for something similar.
but the VSC was very late if he managed to get himself out of the car and walk along the track before the VSC is called, incredibly dangerous.

I think it is walking across the track they don't like.
Cannot complain with my seats! Ridiculous. Had no idea i'd be on the start/finish line, so it was awesome to have Oscar there. He dominated, so sucks circumstances meant he couldn't take it home but a no brainer to let Lando through.

It’s a bit tongue in cheek, hence the week.

5 second penalty for Max. Drops him back a spot.
I knew he was playing funny buggers and I am glad the stewards pointed out that it was his fault and not a result of Oscar dropping back.

Chandhok has done two thirds of feck all in the sport. But the way he dishes out tactical advice to drivers at the sharp end of the grid you'd think he's won multiple WDCs.
Most annoying commentator in the Sky F1 team by a long way and that's a pretty low bar.
Instead of hearing a balanced commentary of an F1 weekend in a sport which has always had drivers from all over the world, we are subject to a barrage of cheerleading nonsense where what is happening on and off track is assessed almost invariably in terms of how it impacts their favoured Brit driver. This flag waving bias would never have happened in the days of Murray Walker/James Hunt or Murray Walker/Martin Brundle but is now deemed acceptable professional behaviour for an internationally broadcast sport commentary team.
Edit: did I mention that this pisses me off?

How about reverse grid form last race results?
That would be FUN!
7.30am qualifying local time (9.30pm AEST time) is f*****g bizarre. I will do my best to get there but somehow dont think the hordes of Colapinto fans will be there in time. They are def here more to party...

Is this right?
Social media is suggesting that assuming there is no quali session first thing tomorrow (and the weather forecast suggests there won't be) then the starting grid for the race in a sprint race weekend is determined by the FP1 standings (iirc this was done to encourage teams to participate in all free practice sessions).
Here is the FP1 results btw. That grid would be a wet dream for Norris and the Sky F1 commentary team. Taking into account the penalty Max takes into the race it would also send RBR into a state of apoplexy.
The potential impact on RBR and Ferrari driver and constructor championship standings that such a grid would have suggests to me that this will never be allowed to happen. The pressure on the Race Director to not allow it to happen , especially after what happened in the sprint race wrt the VSC timing, would be enormous.
