@GETlTWRONG What are you talking about, He was 1.2km/h under? https://t.co/6lT3O1ueMd

[Ruth Buscombe @RuthBuscombe]

Three things had to line up for the stewards to overturn this.

1. The rule never says the timing system is the final word. The speeding rule (Article B1.6.3a) just says there's a speed limit, 60 km/h at Monaco. It doesn't say "speed as measured by the official timing system". Compare the false start rule (B5.11.1), which spells out exactly which system decides whether you jumped the start. Because the speeding rule names no source, the only question the stewards had to answer was: was the car actually going faster than 60? Not: did the screen say so.

2. The timekeeper proved its own number wrong. Pit lane speed is calculated as distance divided by time, and the official distance for that zone was 77 cm too long, because the barriers moved this year and opened a shorter line. The timekeeper found this itself with a laser scan after the race. Redo the maths with the correct distance and Gasly was doing 58.7 and 58.8 km/h. Under the limit, both times. The stewards actually rejected all of Alpine's own evidence; what convinced them was the official system contradicting itself.

3. The penalty could still be undone. Gasly never served his penalties during the race they were added to his finishing time afterwards, and that's the only kind the stewards have the power to erase. A penalty served at a pit stop is gone forever; nobody can give you back time you spent stationary. Alpine then filed for a review within the 96-hour deadline (Article 14 of the Sporting Code), with the new evidence the rules require. They were the only team that did.

That's why Gasly got his podium back and the other four drivers caught by the same faulty zone got nothing: all three conditions held for him, and only him.

@papayastri17 @BHill1417 @fia teams could always do this?? and penalties have been contested plenty of times before. In this case the penalty was indeed wrong so they were successful. It's not exactly setting a precedent, this is how its always worked

[Aaron @aaron_place_]

@piastreez @land0sc I think they are appealing the decision on Gasly, not oscars penalty (they can't appeal that because they are out of the 96 hour appeal window + the penalty was served in-race)

[Aaron @aaron_place_]

@heqyipo @SpyrithV @NotFifthGear @aykimlo There's no risk though, They have every right to not serve them during the race, they are just added at the end instead. That's what Gasly did and that's why they could be removed

@BeamInchesWhom @Dubliam2003 They're putting it out to tender because they are legally required to by the BBC's Royal Charter.

@wisterianorris Thats a video thats went through instagram compression rather than a photo for sure

@DrM4TR1X @sandbinalover Unless you're getting a Bluetooth mouse this is not true anymore. Some even offer less latency than wired, take a look at what competitive FPS pros use, almost all wireless these days

@verstappw1n @rochelleplew We do this in the UK also ❤️

@PolitiConcern @OpenSourceZone 19% unfavourable, so net -9. Most of the responses are just don't knows

@ProleOtter It's fairly normal as you need to build credit to get a mortgage, a car loan, even a mobile phone contract (I remember getting rejected for one at 16 lmao)

[Aaron @aaron_place_]

It's May.

Fed up of this argument over what's hotter, who can handle what, who has AC. It's MAY.

There's a part of the UK where the overnight temp record got beaten by 5 whole degrees. It doesn't matter if the temp feels hot to you, that's bad, the planet is dying!!!

[James @turningmystile]

starting to think the euros complaining about the heat over there would just actually spontaneously combust in the 110 Fahrenheit / 43 Celsius days we have in my county every summer

[Aaron @aaron_place_]

@GarethDennis Do we know this at all? Why would they not just use OneWeb which is partially owned by the UK Government.

[Aaron @aaron_place_]

going to jump on the tracks in protest, if all goes to plan i'll be hit by a train in about 10 years

[Philip Haigh @philatrail]

Changes proposed by HS2 and accepted by DfT are lower speed (320kph rather than 360kph), removing automatic train operation (ATO) and reducing ETCS signalling specification. Note that HS2 suggests the line will host 10 trains per hour.

@MichaelCGM @PolitlcsUK @Tony_Diver I assume he'd need to be an MP when the contest starts
