Do they give retrospective pens ??
Diamond Lights
Didier Zokora
they can, 5 sec penalty on the actual race or potentially a penalty in next race.
In the words of Connor McGregor. "You'll do nothing!" If it was the other way round, they'd have smacked Lewis with a pen in the race. Farcical they "didn't have" the video of Max's dashboard, but they did of Lewis.
"Awaiting release from the rights holder" apparently.
I've watched F1 for decades and that's the first time I've ever heard of the stewards not having access to a shot.

We all know nothing will happen !!
F1 title leader Max Verstappen's front-row starting position at the Qatar GP is under threat after he was summoned to meet with F1 stewards ahead of Sunday's race for allegedly failing to slow for yellow flags on his final lap of qualifying.

Good pace from Hamilton in qualifying, over half a second quicker than Mad Max.

Back to back wins for LH, the gap is only 8 point now with two races to go. This would be his greatest championship win if he can pull it off. The new car is clearly too much for Red Bull to handle.

Max Verstappen says Red Bull will focus on trying to come back stronger to hit back against Mercedes at next week's Saudi Arabian GP after a second successive defeat by Lewis Hamilton.
Meanwhile, the Dutchman said "I never get presents from them" in reference to the stewards after he was handed a five-place grid penalty ahead of Sunday's race for failing to slow sufficiently for double-waved yellow flags at the end of qualifying.

Sir Frank Williams, founder and former team principal of the Williams Racing Formula 1 team, has died aged 79.
He built the team named after him into one of the most successful in the sport.
During his time with Williams, the team won nine constructors' championships and seven drivers' titles, and dominated much of the 1980s and 1990s.
He and daughter Claire moved away from the sport in September 2020 after selling Williams to US investors.
In a statement, the Williams team said: "It is with great sadness that on behalf of the Williams family, the team can confirm the death of Sir Frank Williams CBE, founder and former team principal of Williams Racing, at the age of 79.
"After being admitted into hospital on Friday, Sir Frank passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by his family.
"Today we pay tribute to our much loved and inspirational figurehead. Frank will be sorely missed. We request that all friends and colleagues respect the Williams family's wishes for privacy at this time."
Williams was a wheelchair user after suffering a spinal cord injury in a car crash in France in 1986.
F1 president and chief executive Stefano Domenicali paid tribute to Williams, whom he described as "a true giant of our sport".
Domenicali added: "He overcame the most difficult of challenges in life and battled every day to win on and off the track. We have lost a much loved and respected member of the F1 family and he will be hugely missed.
"His incredible achievements and personality will be etched on our sport forever. My thoughts are with all the Williams family and friends at this sad time."
The Williams team enjoyed their first F1 race win at the 1979 British Grand Prix at Silverstone with Swiss driver Clay Regazzoni at the wheel, and the following year Australian Alan Jones steered the team to the drivers' and constructors' titles for the first time.
In 1994, Williams, along with technical director Patrick Head and chief designer Adrian Newey, was charged with manslaughter in Italy following the death of driver Ayrton Senna in a crash at Imola but he was acquitted several years later.
The team have not won a title since Canadian Jacques Villeneuve's 1997 drivers' triumph, and there was an eight-year gap between Juan Pablo Montoya's victory in a Williams-BMW at the 2004 Brazilian Grand Prix and the shock win for Pastor Maldonado in Spain in 2012 - the last time a Williams took the chequered flag.
'More than a boss'
Current Williams drivers George Russell and Nicholas Latifi were among those to pay their respects to the former team principal.
"Sir Frank was such a genuinely wonderful human being and I'll always remember the laughs we shared," said Russell.
"He was more than a boss, he was a mentor and a friend to everybody who joined the Williams Racing family and so many others."
Canadian Latifi added: "RIP Sir Frank Williams. Such sad news. A huge loss for our sport and our team.
"It's been an honour to represent your name on the world stage and we will continue to push hard to take the team back up the grid."

That is sad news. Just like Kandi, Williams was the team I grew up supporting.

It is sad news. Nigel Mansell winning at Silverstone in around 1992 in the Williams car was what got me hooked on F1. I climbed the fence at Beckett's corner and ran onto the track along with about 50,000 others.

Amazing qualification session. Well worth watching the last two or three mins. Mad max was pushing hard for a crucial pole tomorrow.
fudgewits have turned out the lights for the opening show whilst the engineers are trying to prep the cars on the track.
I've never heard Brundle be so scathing about a driver before either.
It would be a shame for the title to be decided that way, but his penalty needs to be sufficient to make the track safe for other drivers. Not that I think he'll learn anyway.
Oh, and what an utter steaming turd of a track that is.
