Consistency is the keyword here. If you take the penalties for Norris and Perez at the second race at Austria for instance, you have to wonder where the consistency is. Verstappen has been doing that for as long as he has been raced in f1 without penalties. That sort of move became known as the "Masi Elbow move". Originating from Michael Masi's 2018/19 philosophy of letting drivers run their overtaking competitors off the track in defence of their position through a corner. It has become a thing that is allowed when defending at corners.
Hence, fail to see why Norris or Perez was punished for doing just that. In Perez case, twice. With one of them occurring as a result of catching a momentary instability of the car during the duel for positions. The message seems to be changing. It would seem the "Masi Elbow" is now being withdrawn. Even so, can they do it consistently, l wonder.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 12th July 2021 at 15:33.

I'm happy with the 23 quality Rally2 entries, over a greater quantity. All the top ERC drivers are here, some for the first time, plus the Solbergs and Johan Kristoffersson. ...
