At this point I think I prefer when Red Bull has a dominant car, so at least we can have a minimum semblance of respect for the rulebook. The minute things don't go their way, and FIA goes full 2021 to favor their golden boy.

This is not inconsistency in decision making. They are 100% consistent when Max is involved.

God the amount of salty conspiracy theorists here is depressing.

The stewards very clearly explain why they did not give a penalty, but still it’s the “FIA golden boy” comments at the top.

Are we forgetting when FIA was called “Ferrari international assistance” because people felt like they were favoring Ferrari all the time?

Stop trying to give meaning to individual decisions. Sometimes things go one way, sometimes the other. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s our goldfish-like memory span.

If that's the case then so be it.

That being said, Max has been unstoppable this year. All I want in life is for tomorrow's race to be competitive
