I'm not sure what happened here, but someone badly needs to fix this page. The racers are not at Suzuka today. I am guessing keeping this updated is not a priority for ESPN.

Yeah ESPN is terrible for figuring out the schedule. I prefer this site but it does not have TV info listed.

An Alfa dealership in China put up a banner congratulating Zhou on becoming the first Chinese F1 driver, so I guess he is getting announced on tuesday.

I don't know what's going on, that's the schedule i've been referenced all season and it's always been accurate.

This was just now confirmed on the FP1 broadcast.

Whoa. That throws a wrinkle into things.

Is Max at risk of having to do something similar before seasons' end? If so, the timing will be critical.

For those like me who were wondering how this works with sprint qualifying, it is 5 place grid penalty on Sunday (does not affect sprint race).

Correct. He will still be able to qualify 1 for the sprint and start it at 1 so he can steal those points. Grid penalty is effective Sunday.

Hamilton and Verstappen #1 and #2 for sprint race tomorrow. Bottas #3 and Perez #4

Hamilton looks like he has the pace to win from 6th on the grid. Assuming little to no change post sprint qualifying I wonder if Red Bull will try to use Perez to block him.

Huge with the 5 place penalty on Sunday as well. Fighting through all of that traffic in the sprint he will likely be starting in the bottom half of the field for the race. I don't see him getting to 5th in the sprint if he starts from pit lane.

Apparently Merc alleging Max damaged the wing by touching it, which seems ridiculous. Max has already met with stewards. I bet both get penalties.

Yes, claiming damage is beyond ridiculous.

Apparently in addition to the fan video the FIA have footage from Alonso's on board camera which was parked behind Hamilton's car. Its supposedly shows that Verstappen barely brushed Hamilton's wing.

I hope they have that footage.

Max should get nothing more than a reprimand. This is a mildly common occurrence with a known outcome. Ala Inspector Seb

Let's all hope that this race results in an FIA mandated 'no annoying pit alarm' rule being put in place. That siren is so damned ridiculous.

Verstappen fined 50K Euros for touching Hamilton's rear wing.

Here is the statement.

I wonder how frequent the practice of touching the other cars has been by drivers as stated in the report. Either way, the fine isn't a big deal. But I would imagine if it happens again, there will be a grid penalty.

Of note is the steward's statement that he did no harm. I think this sets up Hamilton's exclusion from qualifying.

Yeah, I think the statement in the report is supposed to act as a deterrent for all drivers in the future.

It doesn't happen often but it does happen. Vettel even rolled a car backwards to check something.

Monaco is the worst track on the circuit. I know, that's blasphemy for the purist.
Interlagos is a close second. There is just not much to this track.

You could've at least tried to block there Lando.
