That might not be possible. If you read that twitter thread it also includes racism and attributes it to a particular group of fans.

Happened at Silverstone as well from a particular section of young men, they were spoken to by security and melted away. Supposedly drunk, not sure how as they were brandishing freebie cans of 0% larger!

For the second season in a row the race set up is messed up on more than one level it seems. Floor incon...

Another typical bore of a sprint race. Utterly pointless.

Completely agree, highlight was the battle for 9th or was it 8th.

Stewart is well known for his anti Hamilton comments and the phrase "precious little ballerina" is unnecessary. It is derisory though and implies that Hamilton is effeminate. We used to use phrases like "cissy" and "girls blouse" 30 years ago and think nothing of it. The point is that these comments...

Its clear that a man of Piquet's age cant resit making outspoken comments on recent drivers without trying to belittle them by using racist terms or homophobic references. Its playground stuff and is the only way he can get any sort of attention. There is a generation that seems to think making outr...

It's clear then that you can use an equivalent 'N' word to racially abuse someone then apologise and it will all be OK. Frankly thats repulsive.
The damage is done, the person is injured. Where in law does a person escape with no punishment if they inflict a physical injury!

The responsibility for what was said begins and ends with Nelson. Neither Max nor anyone at Red Bull is obligated to comment on it. You're correct in that there is no responsibility for Max to.

I think the FIA will back down and let Lewis race with his permanent piercings. Effectively grandfathering him into the rules. I second that.

Actually agree, not enjoyed a race yet, bits of races but it seems the winner is which car is the one with least problems from tyres and bouncing, before another midfield car inexplicably spins, hits the wall or just stops!

Hamilton was joking about Verstappen's nipple piercing and Verstappen jokingly asked whether he wanted to see that again, but he may or may not have that.

Is this true?

:frown: The rule does not specify removable or not. Ahh right. Article I read was saying he will remove any that aren't permanent but not those welded in.

Didn't he actually say he can't remove certain items. And the rule is that all removable jewellery must be removed? So not removing the items he can't isn't breaking the rules?

I'm thinking porpoising will be less of an issue at Imola. Shorter straights where the bumpiness can build. And narrower track, negating side-by-side racing as cars trace a common line.

With plenty of water around I'd have thought porpoising would be an advantage!
