I get they both made errors, but how could Danny Ric pass Max without a high speed differential move like a bonsai dive? I think Max knew he was going to get passed and made the 2nd move thinking DR could slow down. To make the 2nd move that late, all on Max in my view. They seem intent on not lear...

Knuppel1983

Seriously? Control over these two? Max should be glad Dan is his teammate. Up until the incident he got away with his aggresive driving because Dan let him. Dan was frustrated after his pitstop, knowing it took him 30+ rounds to get past his teammate. But you can't really blame him. All fun and game...

Knuppel1983

And why would they give him a 3-race ban for a race-incident where both drivers were at fault? VER is being slaughtered in the media, and it is clouding your vision. I’m not defending him for every move (he is indeed too agressive), but this one was no more than 25% his fault. Had it been HAM you’d...

As i recall the ‘Verstappen rule’ was removed from the rulebook.
“if a driver moves erratically or goes unnecessarily slow or behaves in a manner that could endanger another driver, then he will be investigated.”

You can’t possible call this erratically.

Knuppel1983

I would say 90% Ricciardo. Max picked his line, and was straight when shifting back. He braked after moving. His steering movements were minor. Dan was frustated because he came out behind Max, even though his pitstop was faster. He was beaten in the in- or outlap. Dan was never gonna make that cor...

I would say 90% Ricciardo. You can’t call it moving under braking, nor swerving. Max picked his line, and was straight when shifting back. He braked after moving. His steering movements were minor.

Why does F1 hate fans so much? F1 was already boring as hell with everyone talking about how it should be more attractive to fans. And they come up with this. You can can barely see the track or who's driving the car. Moreover, the teams decide we shouldn't see the driver anymore when he is in the g...

Knuppel1983

VET, HAM and VER within 0,150 seconds. Still early but the nr. 1 drivers and showing their value.
That Bottas onboard cameraview on the Halo makes me wanna turn off the tv though... I hope to god they will reconsider it.

Knuppel1983

Lol. How can someone vote Vettel? He either has no insight to where his competitors are on track, or he still doesn’t know the dimensions of his car. Yes he overtoke those (slower) cars, but he was there through a fault of his own. Hamilton struggled to get past anyone despite having the best car. ...

Knuppel1983

Impossible to pass?? How about on that long straight with DRS open? All you have to do is get close in the last few corners, after that just keep your foot down. Lewis’ car was clearly lacking downforce, but that Ferrari was always going to cruise through the traffic. And some of his moves were incr...

Well said. Close this one?

I posted it because Fiki said he doesn’t know what went down in Suzuka.
Nothing more... so stop assuming.

Knuppel1983

Have to agree with Fiki here, I don't speak Dutch but you didn't need to to understand what Max was saying, his demeanour, crowd reaction and response to the interviewers incitement said it all. He probably will win a WDC but he is not above the sport, neither is he indispensable to racing. To be h...

Knuppel1983

At last year's race in Suzuka, Verstappen made a questionable defense against an approaching Lewis Hamilton, forcing the Mercedes driver onto the escape road to prevent an overtake. According to a story published during the race's aftermath by Autobild, Connelly, overruled by the rest of the steward...

Knuppel1983

Get over yourselfs. I was born and still live in the district in the Netherlands where Max is from. There, the word ‘mongool’ has nothing to do with a person with Down syndrome. It’s just baked in the dialect through the centuries. I’m sure in the UK there’s a lot of these words, which on it’s own c...

Knuppel1983

No that interview was without camera’s unfortunately. He sat down with Charlie before the official interview, to discuss a new timing technique where a computer automatically add seconds when drivers go beyond the white lines. It’s just something the reporter wanted to point out, because it annoyed ...

Knuppel1983

This is exactly what i’m trying to show here. I’m a Verstappen fan, but I’m not blind. Max deserved his penalty rule-wise, but Lewis deserved one also. However, Lewis was a title contender. This is a perfect example because they both do exactly the same thing (lock up, cut corner, and keep position)...

FIA’s overtake of the year 2015 (Verstappen on Nasr): (can you spot the white line?) https://imgur.com/download/quwCTMN Mexico 2016 ; Lewis locks up at the start, goes lawn mowing and gains 4 seconds advantage. No further action. https://imgur.com/download/k6PGzgl Ironically, in that same GP, Verst...

Maybe you guys need to watch Dutch Ziggo Sport then. And we will watch Sky F1.
Or we all watch the German channel which certainly won’t be Dutch or English biased

Knuppel1983

It's always funny to read the forum after situations like this, the culture clash is tangible. In the Netherlands, you always speak your mind, especially in the heat of the moment. This is seen as a great quality. Being polite, political is seen as weak, dishonest even. So when the interview with M...

Knuppel1983

Well i disagree. This is worse.

Knuppel1983

Max’ reaction was childish, buit understandable in the heat of the moment. Fair or not, I think we all agree FIA are killing the sport like this. A heroic drive rewarded with a last turn overtake for podium finish, fans loving every second of it. Just like our US friends like it. And then... in come...

new footage on sky videos from strolls car shows him deffinately not at all turning into vettel , and shows its absolutely vettels fault , ant and johnny Herbert on the sky pad and they both agree its not strolls fault and clearly shows he was swiped by a Ferrari its proberly not what you want to h...

Knuppel1983

We'll i'm Dutch so not British-biased... What i see at the least, is a driver taking unnecessary risks (Vettel): - why overtake so close when the corner is wide enough to fit 4 cars? - why overtake which such a speed difference? - why overtake at all? Looking at the latest footage i can think we can...

This deal surely makes finding an engine supplier easier.
Honda or Porsche will be delighted to have Aston Martin on the chassis...

Dan collects points, and sometimes makes a decent move. Offtrack he’s good fun, always smiling and making jokes. Teammate wise he’s perfect. Ontrack though, he’s just plain dull. Dan is no pancake, and I place him above Seb; but the fact that his non-finishing teammate, with not even half his points...

Anyone can pull away from Bottas.

Well, at least we know Max is better than Seb

Knuppel1983

Reading some of the comments here leaves me somewhat puzzled ... Why is it, that the same people who think, that a faultless Verstappen may have not been aware of the fast approaching Raikonnen assume, that a dumb Vettel lacked spacial awareness, because he wasn't able sense Raikonnen from his posi...

Knuppel1983

What's triggering all this hatred is not that Vettel is a title contender.
It's the fact that the man is a 4 time WC, and still acts like a little boy sometimes. But I agree, title contender or not, out of proportion, it was just a racing incident.

Knuppel1983

Quoting Webber:
"I think sometimes Seb forgets that where the back of his helmet is is not where the back of his car is!"

But we all know they are not best friends

Knuppel1983

Max said, with his words that Kimi moved right and then Seb moved left. So my question is, if we all know that didn't happen like that, why is he saying it like that ? This is how I saw it. Kimi had a car's width room on the left, but started moving right because he would never be able to take the ...

Knuppel1983

The fact that 'Honestly!' f1nger boy was quiet afterwards, says it all.

F1 Mercenary might wanna delete Grosjean and Kvyat from your signature?

Knuppel1983

Vettel is to blame. Like Webber said, Vettel thinks the back of his helmet is the back of his car. He doesn't care if he runs someone of the track. 2 things going on in Vettel's head at the start: - 'crap that's Verstappen' - 'crap it's raining' All he had to do was take the corner with more momentu...

Knuppel1983

Come on. We all know what happened if it were Max making that move. Following that line, Vettel should have gotten a penalty.

Knuppel1983

No further action taken. Vettel takes out half the field, but because he ruins his own championship no further action is taken. If it was Verstappen pulling to the left and taking out 2 Ferrari's, it would be raining penalties. The outcome or consequences of penalizing someone shouldn't matter. I ca...

The really sad part of today was having to watch 2 Force India knuckleheads bashing up 2 cars that actually run and are reliable, while Fernando and Max have to suffer with cars that should have been much, much better at this point of the 2017 F1 season........ :smug: This. So much. (Perez is the o...
