Re: 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thr
Drivers shouldn't really need reminding that they aren't allowed to break the rules. Surely people can see the current situation where race control instruct the drivers which of the rules they will actually impose and where. Edit - I don't blame the drivers as much as I do the stewarding for the cu...

Re: 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thr
Is there always a meeting between race control and the drivers, every race weekend without fail? If so, why? I mean you don't get the referee of a football match, meeting with the two teams before the game to tell them about what rules are going to be applied for the match. Maybe by keeping some co...

Re: 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thr
As for Vettel, the rules said that you have to be in contact with the track or white line. Vettel wasnt , but was judged to be on track because in their opinion a bit of this tyre was hanging over the white line. Just for the sake of argument; do you remember the real reason Vettel's time was allow...

Re: 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thr
Of course they are pushing to get a better time, and occasionally they hit a barrier and get punished, occasionally they end up in the gravel, and occasionally then run wide and get punished by a loss of time. My point has always been why do you want to issue a time penalty or whatever to someone wh...

Re: 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thr
Exactly. When a driver is a 6 time WDC and gets pole position, they are going to get far more TV coverage than the majority of other drivers so it's more likely we see laps of his. Actually Max got more air time on his last run, and I think every one of the top 4 was shown taking the last corner. A...
