Re: Reject of the Race - Saudi Arabia 2024

Everyone except Red Bull. Perez got a penalty and they still scored a 1-2! If I had to name someone or something specific then: 1) Mercedes - This is Lewis Hamilton's worst start to a season since 2009! 2) FIA Transponders - This "not detecting jump starts" business is getting ridiculous....
