Adelaide GP. Too long ago to remember. Fernando has matured. Max is yet to mature which was the main point.

^love that video... crazy to see how RB was actually towards the back of the pack, yet still dominant. Guess it all comes down to confidence in corners.

Oddly I'm in agreement with Fred Vasseur on this.
Ferrari to discuss compensation for Sainz damage
Ferrari will discuss potential compensation for the damage to Carlos Sainz’s car in FP1 at the Las Vegas Grand Prix,
“It’s not an easy one to give a set of tires or to give an engine because it’s a gain in performance. But battery, there is no performance in the battery. Considering that we missed FP1, we had a couple of million in damage, the mechanics worked like hell to come back, I think it was not too stupid to consider the case of force majeure.”

More background info
Why FIA couldn’t help Ferrari with force majeure penalty waiver in Vegas F1 race
The International Sporting Code and the F1 sporting regulations contain a total 11 references to force majeure, which is defined in the former as an “unpredictable, unpreventable and external event.”
AlphaTauri CEO Peter Bayer, who previously worked for the FIA and was involved in formulating rules, confirmed that the teams had blocked change on grid penalties.

I hope Fred will come to some arrangement with the stick in the mud Fia if not about the battery itself. Fia cannot keep hiding behind lawyer written exclusions that leave teams out in the cold through no fault of their own.

Whatever Chas did RB strat had it covered, Max's 5 second penalty was cancelled out by Chas's incidental 4.7 second pit hold up. The reds' failure to take advantage during the SC period making Max closer to Chas by the minute and of course the hard tyre advantage put another hole in Ferraris chances.
