Rules are what makes a sport: Grey rules .... grey sport. F1 fail regularly to write and apply the rules in a linear and unbiased way. The bright side is that this championship has been quite exciting, this is quite the exception for F1.
Kind of or, mostly :-D . Surely induced by Senna's previous on track behaviour, my recollection is that, at Suzuka, Prost closed the door for both to crash instead of letting the overtake to happen. He even admitted to that (ie. he said he would no longer leave the door open, at any cost). Obviously, one case say that Senna's move was "optimistic" at best, but I would need to see the incident again.
lol... people find the lamest excuses to justify their opinions... Max ALWAYS complains that the Stewards and Race Director are "out to get him", that everyone is against him, etc... Always.
Max is my kind of guy, straight forward and direct even in todays ultra sterile F1 and entertainment environment. He is from side of Lauda, Hunt, Piquet, Senna, allthough all of these guys mentioned were definitely going harder than Max, and still he has earned this weird reputation. LOL weird, I'd say to Max to hold on this reputation, and don't let it go haha "nice guy" is a skewed perception, there is nothing nice about how Hamilton act to me. I hope there will be at least three four more seasons with hardcore livarly between Max and Hamilton, they are both incredible. I hope third, or even fourth realistic pretendent to become a champion appears. Imagine season ending where four different racers can become champions by few last races lol Just a little dream.
Finally we agree: Double yellow: 5 place grid or "don't do that again" is manipulating the rules. They shouldn't do that.
But still: World Champion! Haven't you heard? Mercedes is not going to fight it anymore. (Hush, inside info!) (Actually true)
Nope, haven't heard and actually I would be surprised if they didn't take it further. Alfa Romeo went through the process when they were disqualified from Germany 2019 and that was for a couple of points only. Regarding kamikaze driving, Max does what he does because they allow him to do that. Give all drivers proper penalties and that wouldn't happen, but no, everything is either 5 seconds or 3 place grid penalty nowadays. What kind of penalties are those? It's like a soccer team would get to take the penalty kick from 30 meters instead of 11 and then expect the other team not to fault. Of course they are going to use the system to their advantage if they can.
Look, I don't care about Mercedes, Red Bull, Verstappen or Hamilton, in life you have to be honest I think that is much more important than being a champion ... That said, I'd rather be Verstappen champion as I already said ... But the MA-FÍA dishonors the sport of F1 .. And fills the title with shit even more, Obviously that's my opinion ...
Comn when their is that much $$ in a sport its rigged. you must know that $$ brings power and corruption.
Wow, so virtuous. Hamilton should receive Nobel prize for that. Anyway, jokes aside, I would feel stupid too being 7 times F1 champ (almost in a row), and getting greeded and nursed like that. One more championship win for Hamilton, and it will bring as much special feel to him as a glass of wine + cheddar. With top model girlfriend company on tuesday evening by one of the sea shores that he privately owns.
Not particularly a Hamilton or Max fan - but I am an F1 fan. Max is world champion and well deserved as would Hamilton be if it went his way. Any decision by the race director or stewards is going to be wrong for one side and right for the other. I believe the lap one incident decision was wrong but the safety car incident was a good call. Hamilton could have taken a set of softs at the safety car and Max would likely have stayed out. Hamilton would have had the same oportunity to overtake on fresh faster tyres. The fact that there was only five laps left in the title decider made any decisions made by Mercedes, Redbull or Massi critical as it was likely that the race was going to finish under the SC. Michael Massi is a very good race director in my opinion as he is willing to make tough decisions on the fly. Full respect to a fellow Aussie at the top of his game at the pinaccle of motorsport.
