Obviously for 2021 but obscurely you don't get punished for the year you broke the rules, a car can be disqualified for being a mm out of tolerance but not a team for breaking the budget cap, we will argue what difference did it make, what difference does a mm make? For me, I keep saying they are t...

Yeah he was weaving his car but they penalised Hamilton for not being able to avoid him. Look, you come up with these absurd and easily disprovable stuff when it comes to Lewis, and then act all high-and-mighty when people dismiss your comments for being a (blind) Lewis fan. It just isn't possible ...

Given how they jumped aside for Verstappen and given how marginally Verstappen came out ahead of Piastri after his last stop, the fact alone that Lawson behaved against Piastri like against any other competitor (in contrast to Verstappen) cost enough time to switch positions. I was highlighting thi...

Well said. Red Bull's breech was supposed to result in "severe" consequences and quite possibly a disqualification for the season, if you saw Ross Brawn's response when asked the question. NONE of that happened and they were slapped with an absurd fine that didn't even count against the following y...

Did they use the $400K for '21 or to build the dominating '22 car ? Better you make up yor mind :) Obviously for 2021 but obscurely you don't get punished for the year you broke the rules, a car can be disqualified for being a mm out of tolerance but not a team for breaking the budget cap, we will ...

Good thing we have such a vigilant guardian of the greater good that I can rest easy knowing no driver besides Verstappen has gained time in relation to the driver in front during double yellows. What vigilance, I only became aware of what Verstappen does behind double yellow flags when he himself ...

I find it hard to believe that under double yellow flags you are allowed to reduce the gap to the driver in front down to nothing Well, why don't you look it up then? Or better yet, let me help you: Double Waved Yellow Flag: Any driver passing through a double waved yellow flag marshalling sector m...

Then your thinking is counterfactual. ;) How much time do you think RB cost Piastri and benifited Max ? Lawson was a moving chicane IMO he was on 1 stop and Piastri did not even wait for turn 1 he overtook him in sector 2 itself. Hadjar was on a two stop but not sure what impact he had on either of...

I always get accused I think it tends to be more questionable when people say that they're not biased, the drivers must have some idea what the rules are, both Leclerc and Piastri flagged up Verstappen closing up under double yellow flags, Leclerc even called for penalty. With experience of racing ...

Fiki

Is this a one way street where some members can be accused of bias, me included, but others can't, posting history would tend to determine levels of bias. I would go with Leclerc asking for Verstappen to be penalised and in Monaco Piastri flagging up Verstappen making up ground under double yellow ...

If only he could have matched his Q1 time, he would have made SQ3 yesterday if not for Leclerc's spin which rather conveniently protected Leclerc's passage into SQ3. Is Leclerc the new Russell? The dick dastardly who does everything to ensure he finishes ahead of his teammate? :lol: A real long sho...

Exactly. The first (did not follow proper procedure) is difficult without any insider witness. - I personally believe they (Mosley, Ecclestone, and co) did not follow proper procedure. However, I doubt there is hard evidence to proof this. This - contested - Ecclestone interview won't do the trick....

I don't for a second think Leclerc tried to cheat. Can we stop implying that. He took to the grass early to avoid (presumably) what he though was an inevitable squeeze, then will have followed the advice of his team regarding position. I don't think he should have held position vs Hamilton but he w...

The avenues available at the time were the same ones available to the FIA less than a year later: investigate the matter and take action. Mosley described the problem as having no proof, but that is precisely what an investigation is for. We still don't know what the avenues were at the time, unles...

Yes, you asked for this, but I am confident I did not promise anything. And, since this is a rather unique case, it is most likely not rooted in precedent. But I did find this interesting ruling, although it may have been overturned on appeal (to be sure. I did not search for it). https://www.norto...

I understand that the case has now been heard and we are awaiting the judge's verdict.

@Mods, any chance the posts from Felipe Massa's court case in the now locked Senna/Prost thread can be transferred across? Hopefully not too much trouble and thanks anyway. Thanks for digging out this thread! :thumbup: You wanted to provide me with examples of sports cases where courts picked certa...

I'm going by what Leclerc seems to know in this instance when calling for a penalty, I gather you don't know the rules but will default to defending Verstappen. I don't like your accusation; I will never simply default to any driver calling for a penalty. It is a tactic just like any other. If you ...

Fiki

First give me examples of other drivers doing it, Leclerc didn't seem to be accepting it as being a normal thing to do, are stewards really accepting of drivers taking advantage of double yellow flags which means there is a serious incident ahead, you claim it's being blown up because it's Verstapp...

Fiki

This is a pathetic analysis of the situation. I've raced on tracks that were not as ideal or free flowing as possible, but at all times the objective is to push to the limits WITHIN TRACK BOUNDS!!! Champions Wall is rather cumbersome and comes at drivers faster than almost any other wall in all of ...

Fiki

Just a reminder that Verstappen is still on 9 penalty points, are they going to penalise him for anything. I brought this up at the time about Verstappen gaining ground under double yellows on Leclerc, something which he always does, this was ignored and the bigger concern was of Verstappen being r...

Fiki

Which extends to cheating repeatedly. I am sure you are referring to the cost cap breach, which was not deemed to have yielded a competitive advantage, but what actual instances of cheating can you name? Yes in your world it was just used to buy extra prawn sandwiches. So, that is your only example...

Fiki

If there was a wall and Verstappen had to take the corner, I think it is likely he would have ended up worse than fourth with a corner entry as compromised as where he chose to position himself. But of course - and that's the point, I guess - Verstappen would never have positioned himself where he ...

Fiki

Im also a bit unclear why Verstappen was able to keep track position on Hamilton according to the guidelines after cutting the track at turn 2/3 chicane (after the crash). Hamilton was on the inside and his front wing was more than in front of Verstappens mirror, i thought that this meant he had th...

Well, only if you think that the white painted area at the exit of turn 7 is the white line. Because otherwise he is quite a good way beyond it. I couldn't tell from the world feed view.

Fiki

This "all the rights to keep his line" is not really helpful or true. The cars race with each other and individual racing lines interact with others. There is no "right" to drive as if you are alone on the track and like others don't exist. Verstappen put himself into a position where his only chan...

Tbh watching this back, verstappen should have given position to Russell, dont see how he doesn't get overtaken in t1-2-3 section, seems silly you can bank your position at the end of the huge run to t1 by not making the corner sequence. Leclerc borderline should have gotten a penalty, was pretty e...

I don't see how yellow flags are enough to be safe enough for marshals to come onto a run off area with teck pro barrier. They needed the VSC, which can't just be at one section of the track to make it safe enough for the marshals to come out and deal with the fire and push Sainz's car out the way....

Fiki

Bianchi was killed under double yellows that's why the VSC was introduced in the first place, safety pushed out of the way for the benefit of Verstappen, the Marshall's can't be considered to be in a safe place. I think it is only right to point out that Bianchi failed to respect the double yellows...

Fiki

It seems like a no brainer VSC, no? Sainz' car is sticking out, up to 2 metres out from the barriers and potentially on fire meaning marshals may need to get around the back of it to extinguish the flames in direct line of cars at racing speeds. https://i.ibb.co/VYzrsYzP/Screenshot-2025-10-27-09304...
