I thought these were a black and white clear infringements (remember Lando getting a penalty during a race last year?

It cannot be a difficult investigation because surely all mini sectors are stored and time-stamped?

Of course they have.

 

But man, if Russell didn't slow down, I hope he gets a proper penalty, and that the FIA follows up on it. Yellow flags, pit speed, pit incidents etc. are serious safety issues.

Gasly and Sainz being let off with a warning for not slowing down for yellows.

If this was Max Mosley times Red Bull would now be charged with bringing the sport into dispute…

Maybe we need to consider the consequences of continued trivalent protests? In many legal systems there are measures and remedies for such behaviors…

The wording on point 13 is weird... How can you go slower than racing speed, but be faster through the zone?

For example, he entered the zone at 100 kph and his speed increased to 110 through the zone. But under normal racing conditions he would be reaching 150 there. So while his speed increased slightly in absolute terms, it was still significantly slower than normal racing speed that would be achieved under full throttle.

Exactly, this was not just a shot in the dark, clearly Verstappen slowed and saw Russell moved further away, he questioned, Red Bull looked at it, and since race control did not pass for investigation protested, I have to presume that you can now increase your speed through a yellow zone, which I understood as being the very thing they did not want to happen in a yellow zone.

 

 

Offender was Russell so there is that.
