Re: The Effect of 2021 on Max Verstappen's Legacy

I for one have always been completely in favour of disqualifying Hamilton for Silverstone, because of the outcome of the collision rather than the incident itself. He gained 25 points on his direct championship rival with a crash that was mainly his fault. And the only person that was penalized fro...

Re: The Effect of 2021 on Max Verstappen's Legacy

Well then, Verstappen's braking at the Saudi Arabian GP was indeed seen as the predominant cause of the accident, as stated in the stewards' report. So far, so good. At the British Grand Prix, "Car 44 is judged predominantly at fault". So with Hamilton more to blame than Verstappen, I suppose you w...

Whilst I don't like to point out dictionary definitions usually. It's pretty clear that beating someone from the line, when starting behind them, is still very much an overtake.

Re: Is Leclerc dropping the ball?

He's too nice. The Silverstone victory would have gone down in folklore had it been another driver. Charles didn't mention his issues after the race though as he didn't want to criticise the team.
