[Misc] F1 2021

I actually feel sorry for Max, as when the dust settles, it’s not the way he’ll want to win a Championship and most we’ll know it was won only on a technicality.

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Is this not correct?

In that case - what's the point in having any rules regarding safety cars if they can be changed at will?

Mercedes have lodged an appeal against the original appeal.
Getting embarrassing now, its now a case of being a very bad loser.

Pathetic

Having seen a bit of Verstappen's thought processes, i'm pretty sure he doesn't really care how he wins

There is no way Lewis could pit. Even the tyres Max had on were only 9 laps old or so anyway, they got a free stop to put a Qualifying set on. I’m surprised people are even mentioning it as an option for Lewis - simple equation, if Lewis stops Max stays out or vice versa. Lewis misses out on a crazy set of rules and frankly the race should have finished behind the SC for what would have been a fair result to reflect the racing.

I wasn't suggesting Lewis pitted, I was responding to someone questioning why Max pitted and Lewis didn't by saying the lead car can never put in this situation. Clearly I didn't explain very well!

The only people who should be embarrassed are the FIA.

He absolutely won’t care, and in a way he shouldn’t because he accumulated points over 22 races not just this one and will just think that luck here equals the bad luck he had with a puncture and Bottas clearing him out.

I was echoing your point!

Haha, I've misunderstood twice then

 

[Chicken Run]

Can we appeal the result of the 1st Ashes test please

Oh well, some people will be happy the black british guy didn't win.

Offended on his behalf?

Not quite sure about that.

There are good winners and bad winners.

No need for this dig from Karen, he knew mentioning Lauda would press Mercedes’ buttons.

“Nikki Lauda came up with the concept of 'let them race' and that's what they did.”

Okay guys I feel the hurt on here. So I will leave this alone for a day or two hoping some level heads will view Max and Red Bull had every right to win that world championship.

You must be watching Hamilton Tv not to have seen Horner and Max not conceded their forturne, but let's face it, winners make their fortune and they made it throughout the season.

Next season will be interesting with George demanding and lewis demanding, what could go wrong?
It's clear that perez will be a team player..........

Go get a prick

 

[Creaky]

Plenty of rules allow changes to car if a safety issue e.g. Some parts allowed to be changed in parc ferme if it's a safety issue. Could easily change the rule to say no pit stops unless it's a danger/safety issue

Not allowing pit stops though would disadvantage just as many drivers as allowing them does.

If you were in the lead, for example, with a good gap back to second place and due to come in for new tyres - stopping when the SC ended would then mean they would probably come out of the pits in last place!

A better solution IMO would be to reduce the pit lane speed limit during the SC period thus levelling out the total time lost for a pit stop.

Nothing stopped Hamilton getting freht tyres....only his team....

He would have lost track position and then had the race finished behind a safety car would have lost anyway. Max was allowed to pit and then have the four cars in front of him taken out of his way so he, with his brand new tyres, could get right up Lewis's rear axle.

Thank **** for that. Can you make a couple years?

When are you going to understand that most people don't care what you think, say or do, because you are always wrong.

Okay so you two have thrown out the bait.

No need to be so bitter and angry towards me.
I am not a Max fan I am an F1 fan.

My last words on this thread Is

"Let them race"


See you in F1 2022.

They raced for 55 laps and Max got spanked.

 

[JJ McClure]

So it seems like the rules aren’t rules and that its all at the race directors discretion.
The problem is that race director is Michael Masi and he is a weak, fallible, clueless and incompetent clown. If he’s not removed as a result of this I would be a) surprised and b) not watching next year.
It’s ironic that the FIA were so desperate to avoid this legal / appeal situation before the race as they were anticipating an incident between Max and Lewis, that instead they’ve created the problem themselves.

Shame they did not let Sainz race against Max on the restart instead he had two of the lapped cars in front of him as the race directors decided they did not need to come through.

Let them race is ok but then don't stop for a car crash then. Drive around it, simple.
