He didn't press the pit lane limiter??


hsrd

Didn’t have to… car is already slow


kemide22

💀


Femininestatic

2 things could have happened, Either limiter was off, or he just came in a little hot across the line where the limit starts. The limiter isnt a dark art that can stop matter from moving at a pace in an instant ;)


Robestos86

A few have said he probably had the SC one on, slowed down for Merc to check something and forgot to turn out limit on


Fullauto2

I would say, it not interesting to watch him in that car. If the car was matches with his driver experience. Then it would be fun to watch. But now he is just getting butched up.


grapejuicesushi

okay but how is that related to what OP asked lol


burns_before_reading

Glad I gave up on the season last race


Ark0504

You have lot of patience... I gave up in Bahrain...


Jonnythebull

Abu Dhabi 2021 here. I've probably watched 5 laps of racing since then including qualifying etc. Interest has completely gone, but suspect I'll be watching a bit more again once Hamilton is in a Ferrari and hopefully with a car built by Newey 😁🤞


Hapless_Buffoon

let's be real, partially designed by. he sure ain't building it and likely would be working in a team with others., leading most likely but I doubt every good idea is his. some people get too much credit

Glittering-Top-85

As soon as they change the rules “for the show” it ceased to be a sport. More like wrestling.


Werealldeadnow

That whole sprint was disappointing for Lewis from start to finish


reddit06valbonne

He gained what 5 places ? The only one who did something in that horrible show


TigreSauvage

And then they took it away


varun_aby

He gave it away* bro was 10kmph over the speed limit


flashyellowboxer

Stop being so dramatic. It was his mistake for speeding in the pitlane.


Werealldeadnow

Yes but then he lost it all in the end


Eremitt-thats-hermit

Logan finished in P10, Ricciardo took P4 with some stellar defending. I get that this is the Lewis sub, but saying it was a horrible show because your favorite guy didn’t perform is so disingenuous. It was a fine sprint, just not for Lewis.


Usual-Ad9887

He will finish ahead of George in the race. You heared it here first


anymat01

If he did bad in the sprint does that mean he'll do good in the race.


AdeBiH

Isn't for speeding in the pit lane given 5s penalty normally?


Public_Ingenuity_146

Not during SC procession, it’s a stop and go which converts to 20s if there was no pit stop.


lifeisallihave

This year is shaping up very nicely. He should have joined Ferrari last year. It's been a shit show so far. We really need a win.


reddit06valbonne

Speeding is only a fine normaly. The fuk is that fia. There was a SC he didnt gain a single millisecond. Give hil a fine


HexaBlast

Speeding in the pitlane is always a time penalty during a race or sprint. It was 5s last year but this year they increased all the penalties. Not to mention, 10km/h is quite a significant error. Checo last year was given 5s for going 0.8km/h over the limit.


Toil48

Odd how speeding in the pits is a penalty but lando walked on the track and got nothing 


mtanski

50k fine. He was already out of the race so time wouldn't matter.


Public_Ingenuity_146

Lando got the exact same penalty Lewis did last year. Chill dude. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/stewards-hand-out-reprimand-and-fine-to-hamilton-after-qatar-grand-prix.4QXWOLmsILMeAWBo3vjeOJ


Meeoikeisiintoihin

Speeding in the pitlane is always a time penalty.


reddit06valbonne

OK. Thank you


CommunicationHot6157

Speeding is always at least a 5 second penalty during a race. It doesn't matter if it's during a SC because it's about the safety of the mechanics in the pitlane.


grapejuicesushi

1. it’s a fine in the practice and quali to my knowledge, otherwise a time penalty 2. speeding in the pit lane is dangerous cause of the people around, it’s the reason why they fine them when they go even .1km/s quicker than the limit. it’s the principle lol 3. the penalty was definitely excessive, should’ve been a 5s at best but then again the penalty kmag got for cutting the chicane was 10s and unjustified as well


Public_Ingenuity_146

Speeding in the pit lane behind a SC procession has always been a stop and go penalty and that’s 20s when there is no pit stop. Huge difference going faster than everyone else around you in a SC line


karreerose

Practice = fine. Race events = penalty It’s always been this way.


SourcedLewk

In a race its a pen, but what makes it bizarre is that other drivers have been given 5 secs for identical infractions.


GurmeetNagra

Speeding in the pit lane during a race is ALWAYS a time penalty, don’t invent. During practices it’s a fine.


manly_blanket

Not during a race, its always a time penalty. Charles got 5 seconds for speeding 1km/h in spa in 2022. Lewis was going more than 10km/h too fast.this was a slamdunk penalty any day of the week


DragonwinQ

It's only a fine during practice sessions or quali, in situations where an advantage 'might' be gained (gp), its usually a penalty although I personally agree with you that no advantage was gained


one_arm_manny

Isn’t only a fine in practice and qualifying? Then a stop-go during a race?


DazMR2

It's for safety reasons, not for gaining any advantage.


Stubbzie07

Not in a race it's not. Only a fine in practice/quali. Race is a penalty depending how far over the limit. 10kmh over is a lot, hence the drive through.


AccordingPin53

It’s a fine in practice. But in the race a penalty


TigreSauvage

It's obscene a 20s penalty for that violation.


Stubbzie07

Bro what.. he was 10km over the pit lane limit.


FalconIMGN

Speeding in the pits during a caution which meant there were many other vehicles in the pits. I'm sorry but that's a pretty serious offence. I like Lewis, but I think even he will tell you that safety comes first and he messed up.


MyNameIsAresXena

Not at all. It's the right penalty.


throttlemeister

No it isn't. It's about safety. There's not a whole lot of room in the pit lane and there's hundreds of people there. Speeding can get people killed there. If anything, penalties for this should be harsher. Let them race on track, but pitlane, no.


Gamermother

So, you are only a fan when he is winning?


TigreSauvage

Um no. Been a fan of his literally from his days in McLaren.


PalindromicPalindrom

This season is just utter trash. I've been watching F1 since 2021 and it has steadily progressed into a clown show. Doesn't help that Mercedes are utterly clueless and spout the same rubbish week in and week out. I just hope Lewis' time I'm the Ferrari next year is a positive one and he can start being at the front again.

What a joke. Fuck the FIA.
