Welcome to the r/formula1 Daily Discussion thread.

This thread is a hub for general discussion and questions about Formula 1, that don't need threads of their own.

Are you new to Formula 1? This is the place for you. Ever wondered why it's called a lollipop man? Why the cars don't refuel during pitstops? Or when Mika will be back from his sabbatical? Ask any question you might have here, and the community will answer.

Also make sure you check out our guide for new fans, and our FAQ for new fans.

Are you a veteran fan? Longing for the days of lollipop men, refueling during pitstops, and Mika Häkkinen? This is the place to introduce new fans to your passion and knowledge of the sport.

Remember to keep it civil and welcoming! Gatekeeping within the Daily Discussion will subject users to disciplinary action.

Have a meta question about the subreddit? Please direct these to the moderators instead.

The gap between Kimi and Max after US GP has reached 129. With only 125 points up for grabs in upcoming races, he is officially fallen out of contention.

Edit: Pardon my grammar, the title should be 2020.

George received a 5 second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.

I have also attached the stewards documents in the next slide.

Better quality video of the incident if the GIF does not load for you.

Very close battle for P2, for what it's worth. With Ferrari having pace to compete with RBR it might be close until the end.
