[SuperMax]

He is obviously not touching it, as can be seen in the video. To me it looks like he even does his best to not touch it, as he squeezes between a fence and the car. Grasping straws here.

[prty]

It doesn't really matter if he touched it or not, he shouldn't be there,

That's a good point, is it about touching the car, or about that being a park ferme area in which competitors are not allowed to walk in? If it is about the latter, I expect at least a 50K fine

[HeadFirst]

Did he accidentily touch it while trying to squeeze past though? We need a harsh punishment!

 

You are absolutely right. Lewis should get a hefty fine, and Max should be suspended for the month of June.

Banned... for life

(It's really not a good point, it's a failed rage bait attempt 🤦‍♀️)

Are the roll bar cameras not removed at the end of parc ferme conditions?

[BRK]

Instant 50k fine for this blasphemy and he shall henceforth race in a suit that says ‘I touch cars inappropriately’

In all seriousness, though, it’s a hole Mercedes and F1 stewards dug themselves into.

[RainyAfterlifeDaylight]

We need footage from above and telemetry data, seriously.

[Boxerevo]

I reckon that FIA could send the 50k for me. #blessedbyLewis.

[MikeTekRacing]

wow, if this makes the news in back to back race weekends, I am concerned of what will happen over the summer break (I think there still is one?)

[boomn]

I've seen the video, and can conclude that Lewis doesn't want to touch the car any more than he wants to visit Croydon

[pup]

Lewis avoids Croydon; Lewis avoids Red Bull. There’s a connection here that demands to be investigated.

[MrSarcastic]

Apparently he touched it with his hidden jewelry

His Prince Albert got caught in the rear wing slot gap!

[Gambelli]

Clearly this is Lewis' fault, he clearly understeered into Max's car there, where was Max's car meant to go?  It's just like vs Magnussen, though I'm happy to call it a Parc Ferme incident and give neither Lewis nor Max's car a penalty.

He'll also have to visit all teams on the paddock to warn them about his antics.

He'll also have to visit all teams on the paddock to warn them about his antics.

And after that, he will finally have to visit Croydon.

Hope not, it's a risk we can't take. Even the Russians were sensible enough to lower the Tsar Bomba from 100MT to 50MT.

Thank god for flexible rear wings.

Newey rumoured to be investigating the aerodynamics of the addition...

[Brian60]

Oh, come on. We can all see that he's wearing a false right arm there - the real one, under his shirt, is obviously touching the car. As has been stated, he was probably removing the gum used to disable Max's DRS

I was going to say, if that is his forearm, then it surely has been photoshopped, its twice as long and twice as thick as his left one, even though the perspective shows it should be smaller being farther away.

what if I say it is not his arm

[absinthedude]

He should be punished by being forced to attend an FIA party in Croydon.

So tired of "controversies" like this.
