Formula 1 2021

  1. And if you want a conspiracy then what's the relationship between the FIA and forces that might not be awfully happy with a black driver exceeding the record of a pure Arian? Does Moseley's influence live on.. or was he just the front for it. lets legitimise the sport by having a black man in it... oh Marmite... hes tooo good!!!

    Just a thought!

    I don't think anyone can or is seriously defending this.
    The stupidest but most enlightening rule in F1 is the safety car when everyone is allowed to catch up purely for the TV spectacle. It has nothing to do with racing and everything to do with cash for the sport. Yes it makes it back into a "race", but it does show that F1 have no interest or respect for fair results, just close racing to make it look more exciting and bring in the money. Many of the rules are aimed at achieving this. It's not a sport, it's entertainment.

  5. Im not sure... dont know the rules but it usually involves young ladies in short skirts so I couldnt possibly watch as thats just sexist and demeaning isnt it. Mixed netball ??? is that a thing?

    Controversy is also entertainment and the FIA have done all they can do create it at the expense of having a proper race. Footy does the same hence dragging their feet for so long over goal line technology.

    Something needs to change.
    To loose an eleven second advantage can't be right surely.

  8. im tempted to agree there! but not quite...

    but then again I haven't a counter argument!
     
  9. But if it had happened 3 laps earlier the result would probably been the same but no complaints ?

  10. If it happened 3 laps earlier then clearly there would have been a clear opportunity to restart with all the rules followed. and possibly Hamilton would have pitted. he would then have been in exactly the same position Max found himself in.

    But it didnt so none of that happened.
     
  11. I don't think Mercedes wanted to loose track position, thats why Red Bull came in 3 times.....

    So I can’t stand Horner and his face keeps popping up on Tapatalk. Here’s a kitten to fix that and hopefully calm folks.

    Also, let’s deflect the attention away from Latifi. Last week Schumacher Junior brought out the safety car and this week he was the one who caused latifi to run off track and dirty his tyres…

    Safety cars are fine, the VCS is also a distinct improvement on matters…. They’re not there to deliberately create an advantage. But they are normally executed in the same way at every race, except this one!
     
  13. What I want to know is, why on earth was Ginger Spice given a microphone?

  16. If that was where Max braked too late & pushed Lewis off the track surely not. If it had been a gravel trap it would have beached him & probably put him out of the race.

  17. Ive never driven a formula 1 car but .... Martin Brundle has and said if you leave the door open like that someone will come through it. Max did and stayed on the track.
     
  18. For someone that’s not bothered your still pushing the points. Facts is facts as and that’s what’s worth discussing. What might have happened ain’t really relevant as we don’t know what reactions there might have been. At no point during the race did I see Hamilton even remotely attempt to push anyone off the track or drive in such a way that he impeded or blocked anyone else or drive with such fury and disregard that he endangered anyones safety or seemingly attempt to end their race. That’s what I saw Perez and verstappen do. If that’s the only way red bull can win and if it’s the only way max can win then he’s second best isn’t he!

  19. Your still going on about something you said you weren’t bothered about and grasping at straws!
     
  20. Just stating what I saw, I will shut up then if that suits you. No problem.
