Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?

So you are contesting what the stewards did, in a chicane if you're behind at the first apex then you have no right to contest the second part of the chicane. So you take us back to my initial question yourself; show me/us where it says that in the regulations. Also, and this refers directly to the...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?

What the stewards did was in line with what we've been informed that the rules are, I appreciate having black and white rules can perhaps restrict the counter argument we may find trying to find grey areas in the rule book.

Really not a fan of the fact that despite winning the Miami GP Norris didn't leave the weekend as the driver who scored the most points.
