Re: Michael Masi. 1 Year on.

yeah thank you, and any in that rule means all as Masi explained it at the Eifel GP, and it was always used in that way. What makes you think that rule meant, that Masi can handpick whichever car he wanted ? The rules of a sports are written so that it results in FAIR competition. and not in a way ...

Re: Michael Masi. 1 Year on.

Its fine you want to change the meaning of english words in specific context. any in the rule ment all, as all precedent and Masi's confession at the eifel GP proves it. What you have as a proof? Nothing you just keep stating the opposite. Please show me where I keep stating the opposite (it is the...

Re: Michael Masi. 1 Year on.

I thought removing the need for reading glasses might help you, but clearly it doesn't. Pity. So... for the final time; at Eifel the message '"LAPPED CARS MAY NOW OVERTAKE" was sent, therefore he had to unlap all lapped cars, because he had sent that very message. At Abu Dhabi 2021 that message was...

Re: Michael Masi. 1 Year on.

That is certainly one way of looking at what we know. But it ignores something; the important fact that the stewards ruled what happened was not a case of the race director abusing his powers. yeah, just like when we graded our own homework in school, and suprise suprise there was hardly any errors...

Re: Michael Masi. 1 Year on.

I was looking at the 2021 sporting regulations yesterday, and I am not convinced the rules were changed as you suggest. There is room for interpretation. If there is some interpretation that would allow Leclerc 100,000 points for his race result, then that would be justified. And of course Red Bull...

Because there aren't two conditions. It's the description of a procedure, not a definition of conditions for something. We have been here before.

Re: Michael Masi. 1 Year on.

The wording of the regulations must take precedence over the interpretation of those regulations. Ultimately, the stewards can be considered the arbitrators in case there are differing opinions of those regulations between the teams themselves or between the teams and the race director.

Re: Winning Streaks in the Lewis Hamilton Era

It’s actually very easy to explain: 1. Most of those cars weren’t exactly freakishly dominant, at least not compared to the Mercedes cars we’ve seen in recent years. For instance, at Spain 2019, Bottas outqualified Hamilton by over 6 tenths and Hamilton was still on the front row. When Perez is 6 t...

Hamilton passes Norris and Sainz IMO. What makes people say that? If he was that much quicker he could have made a move on Russell at some point but he wasn't even trying. Because Russell's car wasn't that much slower than his on a track where you need close to a 2 second delta to overtake. At that...
