    10 second penalty very lenient for Max. Should be disqualified.

    So what the stewards are saying is that it doesn't matter if a collision is deliberate or not, the penalty is the same? ****ing grow a pair and DQ him. OK, he only scored a point as a result of the penalty and the cars being bunched up after the SC, but on another day that penalty would have demoted him only one or two places. What he did today was reckless and dangerous.

    Interesting when Charles asked the McLaren boys if their car’s balance changed at all over the course of the race - “nope”.

    Shows how good the car is (and how moody the Ferrari is).

    Could they not have kept Max out if only available tire was the hard?

    Would probably have been the right thing, but there was a fair few mistakes being made there.

    Max given 3 penalty points, one more point and he's banned.

    Stroll misses Spanish GP with injury after losing temper

    Lance Stroll qualified in 14th place for the Spanish Grand Prix

    F1 Correspondent at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya

    Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll missed the Spanish Grand Prix with injury, in the aftermath of losing his temper in the team's garage.

    The Canadian is said by sources to have damaged equipment in the garage and sworn at team members after being eliminated at the end of the second qualifying session, in which he was 0.535 seconds slower than team-mate Fernando Alonso.

    Asked to confirm Stroll had lost his temper in this way, an Aston Martin spokesperson said: "Lance was upset."

    The spokesperson said the injury and the episode in the garage were unrelated.

    An Aston Martin source later denied anything was broken or that Stroll swore at colleagues.

    Aston Martin said Stroll would miss the Spanish Grand Prix because "has been experiencing pain in his hand and wrist".

    The team said Stroll's medical consultant believed the discomfort was related to the operation he had in early 2023, when he broke both wrists in a cycling accident.

    Stroll is to have an operation in an attempt to rectify the problem.

    The situation puts his participation in his home race in Canada on 13-15 June in doubt.

    If Stroll were to miss the race, it is not clear who would replace him as reserve drivers Felipe Drugovich and Stoffel Vandoorne are both racing at Le Mans on the same weekend.

    Stroll was investigated by governing body the FIA after he failed to go to the driver weighing scales immediately after qualifying, as is required by the regulations.

    The race stewards gave him an official warning for the omission.

    The stewards' verdict said: "We reviewed the video footage from the garage which showed the driver of Car 18 [Stroll] exiting the car and leaving the garage from the back and not proceeding through the pit lane as required."

    The stewards wrote that Stroll had sent them a letter explaining that "the reason for failing to immediately attend the weighing was because he was in pain and sought urgent medical attention for the pain.

    "He attended the weigh-in and the media pen as soon as he was able to, before heading to the medical centre for further evaluation."

    This is not the first Stroll has lost his temper as a result of a bad qualifying session.

    In Qatar in 2023, he stormed out of the back of the garage and was involved in an altercation with his trainer as he left. He later apologised for the incident.

    The Men's French Open final - WOW. Just wow. Sinner had 3 straight championship points but Alcaraz saved them all, broke to force a tie break in the 4th set, then won that and is a break up in the 5th set!

    For the golfers on here, I have just read that the 8th hole for the US Open, at Oakmount, is a mere 289 yards.
    AND they say that on one of the 4 days it will top 300 yards.
    It’s a par 3!!!!!!!
    Talk about making it easy.

    They think it’ll be an over par score that wins it…

    You could well be right, although the current leader is -4 through 12 holes.
    McIlroy is-1 through 10 despite missing so many fairways.
    Regarding the long par 3, even DeChambeau came up short of the green.
