    "Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff argues an IndyCar-style lap deletion rule for drivers causing red flags in qualifying would end any debate about whether crashes were deliberate, after Monaco Grand Prix polesitter Charles Leclerc’s shunt."

    Predictable

    Ferrari doesn't care about the WCC as much as you think. Binotto said already earlier in the season that it doesn't matter much if they finish 3rd or 4th. No major damage means that it works, but maybe 90%? Who knows. Absolutely worth the risk for Ferrari, this will be their only chance for a win this season.

    Apparently you don't remember that in 2010 they were throwing away $40K of gears and shafts per session in F1.

    While I think the rule mandating multiple races on a single engine, and gearbox is absurd, so was the practice of them not even lasting a single weekend.

    That is really foolproof.

    The FIA should adopt that for F1.

    They should have run 2 more laps in quali after the red flag.

    Respectfully disagree,
    Rules are the same for all the races.

    Max understandably upset. He felt that was it to clinch pole. Will make for an interesting start tomorrow to see the 2 youngsters battle it out esp. with Monaco being the most difficult to pass.

    The last eight years of Mercedes domination didn’t seem to disturb you so much!
    You are joking I guess ..

    Charles got that pole fair and square. This bitching and moaning especially from some Red Bull fans is really embarrassing. Even Max himself accepted the result. He should have gone faster than Lec on the first run if he wanted the pole (same with Bottas); but guess what, they couldn't.

    I wonder if he would have said the same thing if it was one of HIS drivers who clinched the pole by crashing with 18 seconds to go in qualifying! I think not.....

    Toto may be a talented team manager but he needs to keep his mouth shut sometimes

    Maybe a deletion rule for finishing on 3 wheels with a flat tyre?

    And the person creating the red flag has his fastest lap deleted.

    I love the way this POS always insinuates things without having the guts to come out and say it outright. So he thinks Charles did that on purpose? We know he’s good but to strategically crash the car to red flag the session, make it look like a pretty hard hit but not hard enough to damage the gearbox, the dude is a genius or magician.

    Arnold should start his own series with his own rules so he can better control races. He’s already involved in three teams, he just needs to find six or seven more...

    Too much success begins to make them detestable.
    Hamilton doesn’t hesitate to criticize his team at the end of qualifying, what an ingratitude on his side!
