I guess it would have came across as rather weak if as his first action in office MBS would had said that rules don't matter, but I really wouldn't expect any punishment. Or just do the NHL and give him a $5k fine.
I don’t get this controversy. The lapped cars should have been allowed to overtake a lap sooner, no? Why are people saying it should have ended under a SC?
Because
1) only the lapped cars between Lewis and Max were allowed to unlap themselves. The rules say all or none
Any or none Red Bull would point out.
"Any: one, some, or all indiscriminately of whatever quantity" (Merriam-Webster)
"Any: some, or even the smallest amount or number of" (Cambridge)
It was unusual but not necessarily against the rules per se.

F1 sporting regulations are not related to consumer protection laws in any meaningful way.
It may be worth noting that ultimately the F1 Commission operates at the pleasure of the World Motor Sport Council and the degree of the commission's autonomy is thus up to the WMSC to determine. It is not known that the Concorde Agreement would include anything that would give the teams this type of power over the interpretation of regulations relative to the FIA, and thus if the relevant FIA bodies approve the actions of their F1 race director there is little that can be done about it. A report regarding the events discussed here was presented to the WMSC recently, and it is now up to the council to decide which changes or clarifications are appropriate. The council has already indicated that they are willing to listen to the teams for propositions and I think it is as good as certain that the 2022 regulations will be different in this regard, although in which way remains to be seen. But those hoping to see Masi go or any other dramatic action by the FIA may be left disappointed.
My wife and I are going to the Montreal GP this year, it will be our first race. For anyone else who has been to an F1 race, any opinion on how exciting/relevant the Friday practice runs are? Trying to plan out our trip and determine if going to the track Friday is worthwhile?
It really depends on what you want to do/are interested in.
Depending on how busy they are, some of the circuits open all the stands on the Friday so you can walk round the track and see it from different vantage points. Impossible to do at Silverstone for an F1 race, but I've done it for WEC races there and it was great fun...
Where are you sitting? I completely forgot the sale date and all I can get now is Stand 15 on the hairpin.My wife and I are going to the Montreal GP this year, it will be our first race.

That is the perk of living here, no hotel needed and the ticket includes use of the public transport.I logged in just minutes after they became available and got Grand Stand 12 "sections 2,3,4", the seats are not assigned at the moment.
I got unlucky on hotel, I had booked a room months ago expecting the dates to be more in line with 2019, but the race is a weekend later so I've ended up paying 3x as much after prices got jacked up. Also many hotels are doing non-refundable for any reason at this time, so I didn't want to risk it.

I would have liked either 12 or 11 on the Senna corner so well done
Your ticket will serve as your transport pass. You just show to the driver or metro worker.Is public transportation free for visitors too!? That will be ideal.
