    Yes. I've now read that Max has indeed been requested to a meeting with the stewards.

    Bottas destroyed the marshalling sensors in his crash. That's why neither the trackside LED boards nor the yellow LEDs on Verstappens steering wheel were working.

    Word I hear is a 3-place grid penalty: moving Charles and Seb to 1st and 2nd, and Hamilton to 3rd.

    Hummm, why Ferrari power wasn't capable to get pole today ? (I mean before MV's penalty)

    This Honda PU seems to be really on song now.

    If I were Lewis / MB I’d be worried about arriving at Turn 1 at the same time as Max!

    The Honda power unit made a big turn around from a few years ago! Under powered and frequent blow ups!

    https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/146803/bottas-had-knee-pain-after-nasty-second-impact

    Mercedes Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas says he initially felt pain in his right knee following the "nasty" second impact in his Mexican Grand Prix qualifying crash.

    Bottas crashed at the final corner on his last run in Q3 after running wide and sliding into the concrete wall, where he sustained relatively little damage until his car hit the end of a TecPro barrier hard, which brought him to a sudden stop and caused considerable damage.

    Despite the initial pain, Bottas was otherwise unhurt in the heavy impact and he was later given the all clear at the track's medical centre.

    When asked about the crash by Autosport, Bottas said: "Last run in quali three, just in the last corner, I went a bit deep and got a bit more understeer in the mid-corner.

    "So I went a bit wider than I wanted, but everything was still OK on traction.

    "Being a bit too wide - it was dirty, there was already some pick-up on the front left, then just lost the traction and hit the wall.

    "I was following along the wall, and obviously at the end there was the TecPro barrier, which was a bit nasty actually, how it was at the end.

    "Just [on] the initial hit, I hit my knees together. I think it like was a nerve thing, so the first five minutes I could feel my right knee a little bit, but now it's normal, so it's OK."

    Bottas's team radio captured him breathing heavily in the aftermath of the crash, about which he said 'the last hit into the TecPro it just took my breath out a bit - I noticed I forgot the radio was on".

    Doubt it will end it, but for damn sure it will silence it to the nth degree.

    I hope for the most useless start Max can have. Punk!

    Agreed. Last year after the famous Max-Ocon encounter, Ham counseled Vintage Max how "he [Max] had more to lose than he [Ocon] did."

    Ham just needs modest points in the next few races to clinch the WDC over Bottas. I wonder if #44 will temper his enthusiasm a bit into the first turn.

    Regardless, let's see a Ferrari 1-2 finish!

    (and Bottas finish well ahead of Ham)

    I guess Ferrari can still claim a "front row lockout" even if it was a gift...

    I think that Lewis won't contest Turn 1 with Max, he'll let him through to wreak havoc on Seb and Charles. Two birds with one stone.
