I agree Hamilton went off the track. But perez over took him off the track on the inside and never gave it back. An verstappeb overtook him off the track on the last lap and obviously didn't give it back as well.

Are we talking about a different race? Hamilton won the race I'm referring to.
And I think his behaviour in that race sums him up perfectly. He breaks the rules all race and plays innocent when the team get on the radio and tells him to stop. And as soon as another driver breaks rules at the same spot, he gets on the radio and bleats about it.
Yeah I'm talking about the finale. Every driver complains too much as well. But yes Hamilton complains more than most. And again all drivers go off track that's why I hate cement off runs. Put some grass or gravel or dirt down.

Dude, the biggest "track limits" winner in the last race was Hamilton again. Are you forgetting the first lap incident where Verstappen got him and he just took to the run-off area and cut the second half of the chicane completely? Max was about .25s behind at the start of that series of corners, and was out of DRS range at the end of it ...
Anyway, I agree, you'd think track limits isn't that hard to fix. Grass is a no-go, you saw what that did at Silverstone when Max had a ... what, 20g (?) impact with the tyre wall. But gravel is definitely something that worked well in the past. I'd love to know why they went away from it. I wonder if it's another safety thing, with drivers getting hit by stones thrown up from cars in front, when gravel gets dragged on to the track?
Regardless, they just need to say "you cannot leave the track, unless forced off to avoid a collision". This review/adjustment of track limits before each race is a farce.

That opens up a whole other can of worms. What is realistically avoiding a collision? You just know that would get exploited big time.

Yeah, but it's a can of worms that already exists and has to be taken into account.
My point is that the limit at all tracks and all corners should be fixed and enforced, no wishy-washy "at this race turns 3, 11 and 14 will be watched for track limit violations ..."

As much of an abomination as that is, it is still not the worst....... this would take that title.

I kinda want Alfa Romeo to race in their testing livery, just to annoy everyone.

That is the worst car Ive seen in decades. BWT shouldn't have that much power over the livery - they clearly do over who is the Team Principal.

Yeah, it's not a great look. How does it stack up to these? 8 Awful Formula 1 Liveries We’d Never Like To See Return

At least the pink helps to differentiate it more from Williams. I can’t think of anything nicer to say.

Not a fan of the paper but this is something some fans are calling for: F1 fans call for Russian Grand Prix boycott as Ukraine war threat escalates
It's difficult to say whether Liberty Media/the FIA would have the conviction to abandon the race.
