Merry Christmas, everyone!

Azi

Well, that's disappointing. I can hardly blame Lewis for wanting to see his season out properly, but I am so gutted we don't get to see George in the Merc again.

Azi

C'mon, who voted for Bottas?

Azi

I wish I could find it but I recall Alonso many years ago saying something about Vettel along the lines of "lets' see how he does with an inferior car". This one? 'Alonso said: "Time will tell us, I think when he will have a car like the others, if he wins he will have a great recognition and he wi...

I do know that Bottas often lacks pace to Hamilton, but not sure why it is this margin. I do wonder if that damage on Bottas's car head any effect. If his pace was that bad this weekend, I don't see how he can have held Hamilton behind as long as he did. Tbf, Bottas didn't hold Hamilton behind, Ham...

Leclerc is not getting the praise he deserves for the body of work he's putting in this season. Leclerc, Verstappen and Ricciardo are the drivers of the season for me so far. Hard to seperate those 3. While I mostly agree, I also suspect that all 3 are flattered somewhat by poor performing team mat...

Azi

Oh that was a beaut!

Azi

Isn't that a bit patronising? I don't find this patronising in the slightest as a woman. I agree with Rockie. We've seen how having a hero figure to look up to has been part of many drivers' stories of success. Hamilton had Senna, Vettel had Schumacher etc. Having a hero that is in some way like yo...

What people fail to understand about this topic is still in every field before women got the opportunity of equality with men they were set back a while. Now lets put driving aside for a second how many female engineers do we have in F1? it takes just 4 years to be one and way cheaper than starting...

Half a lap "after the pit exit lights" is still "after the pit exit lights". Common sense should tell you that you can't just freely choose the distance from the lights. Tbf, half a lap after the pit exit lights is on the main track, not within the pit lane exit itself. Whether or not it was sensib...

I'm glad he uses his power and influence to make a statement.

New drinking game.

Every time a Sky pundit mentions reverse grids this weekend, scull the alcoholic beverage of your choice.

Lets see how many of us are alive come Monday, or even for the start of Quali for that matter.

Ha, Kimi would probs cope but us mere mortals might struggle!

Generally, sponsorship is given because of racing talent, though there may be other additional reasons for the backing; Stroll on the other hand has backing regardless of his talent.

Azi

Thanks exediron, I'd checked the sporting regs but couldn't find anything. I'd imagine it just wasn't reported to the stewards. I suspect breaking a technical regulation would only result in exclusion from the Spanish GP though, so not much point. The stewards can take the initiative themselves, no...

Azi

It does look like the Hulkengerg votes are going the way I expected. Looking at it from the point of view like this: Which driver won the battle? Well it was Stroll clearly with RP's report. Hulkenberg got serious vibration that couldn't make it to the end despite being in clean air the entire race...

The FIA can't even work out if teams are cheating or not so

I agree, it looks great.

Bottas, Hamilton, Albon

One of the Magnusson votes was due to my fat finger hitting wrong option

Azi

Thoughts?

Personally, although I agreed with the penalty, I understood why Vettel was upset, and don't feel the pantomime was outside of acceptable limits, as some have suggested.

Azi

Let's break the incident down. Firstly - there seems to be no disagreement that Vettel made an error leading to his off track excursion. This then leads to two possibilities: 1. Vettel regained control in time and deliberately, or instinctively made contributing actions that shut the door on Hamilt...

Azi

I mean either it was a forced error due to Hamilton applying pressure, or Seb made an unforced error.

Azi

Have to say there's a lot of sour grapes going on here. I'm glad they did investigate, but now they have what's the point of throwing toys out of the pram? Rosberg didn't break any rules, as evidenced by the fact that he's been cleared of any wrongdoing, so why the complaining? He played the game w...

Azi

Kimi.

Azi

It's easy to be magnanimous and gracious when you're winning; far less so when you're not. I don't think Nico's attitude is any different than any other drivers might be in the same situation.

Azi

Perez obviously, plus Bottas and Sainz.

Azi

It's amusing that this has turned into a 7-page thread with people digging out books and whatnot to support their arguments over the kind of move we see week in, week out, with nary a whimper of complaint. I do wonder if some of you guys prefer--let's be charitable-- debating to racing. Each to his ...

Lewis: Yes.

To all Rosberg bashers: I just said (in german) that he is quite happy but feels a bit awkward, because Lewis was better all weekend. He feel awkward? Better all weekend? He acts like it was an accident with LH car, who broke or something like that? Doesn't he realize that the team just gave him th...

I wondered why that thread got locked! Is that a new rule?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure Crofty mentioned the stat in practice commentary.

Azi

Actually it's sexist having a problem. If the had been DC or MB you wouldn't have a problem. You only have a problem because she is female. Oh lordy, don't get me started on the nonsense of 'reverse sexism'. :lol: As i have recently mentioned in another thread it seems to me that the outraged are t...

Azi

As i have recently mentioned in another thread it seems to me that the outraged are the usual suspects that just can't help themselves but to find fault with every action or words that Hamilton does regardless of how correct or insignificant that may be! I have to wonder why the same usual suspects...

:uhoh: David Coulthard is quite obviously not the same as a random pit girl. He's a former driver, a commentator and clearly not objecting to being part of the fun and games. The girl on the other hand is not part of the F1 world in the same way; she's an interchangeable pretty face paid to stand th...

It's like water fights with kids innit. Squirting people who have their own water pistol or who are part of the action is a-okay. Spraying someone (especially someone who can't reasonably escape) close up in the face while they cringe away is probably worth having a quiet word about toning down the ...

Button in Canada.

Azi

I have no problems with any of the decisions, Perez can be a bit of a bonehead when in wheel to wheel combat and has a tendency not to give enough room, whilst the Hulk accelerated his car into what was always going to be a closing gap, he had lost the corner and should have conceded. Spot on. :thu...

God lord, some people would swear black was white round here. It's gaslighting, pure and simple and any meaningful discussion gets lost. It's ridiculous.
