It's a shame to see Hamilton buying into the false narrative and the fact that he may take a knee and disgrace our flag on American soil is repulsive. By doing so he will join the small minority of idiotic,overpaid celebrity athletes who have no clue about what this flag represents and those who fo...

The issue is sensitive for one reason - The American President. What started off as a simple small protest by one man sitting on a bench. Turned in to a kneeling because a Veteran wasn't happy at sitting down. It was suggested to kneel because it's respectful. Kneeling at a funeral, kneeling to pro...

I agree, Hamilton should stay out as he's not American and it is not relevant to him. I also think if BLM had originally been named as "Black Lives Matter Too" they would be better understood too. Personally I think cats and dogs and other animals should have as much intrinsic rights as any flavour...

I find this pretty much an American internal issue, the flag "fetishism". It is far deeper than what it appears to be from its surface. Kneeling in itself is not even an act of disrespect, but simply a different way. Even not giving a respect, that itself would still not constitute an act of disresp...

Just a though but if Driver A was in a championship fight but had run out of engine parts but Driver B, who is out of the title race has loads left could they switch Driver A's entry to the car of Driver B? Because the restrictions on the components is down to the car not the driver? I.E Gasly is o...

The ignorance is to blindly follow the chosen authorities. Try rather to show what you can understand with your own head instead of merely performing a function of parroting something.

Kimi's turbo is in the thread's title, but in the OP it is... the entire car?!

could Vettel have been driving Kimi's car today?!

Using your insane "logic" there would have to be an infinite number of exceptions to the safety rules. Strike that. And of course, that is the very reason why the "exceptions" are not listed - because they would be of an infinite number. The insane logic would be rather that one of yours, that sinc...

Vettel did not replace his steering wheel of his stricken car; a violation of FIA rules. And you still did not supply the evidence that would make it a violation of the FIA rules. The one that you quoted: 22.5 A driver who abandons a car must leave it in neutral or with the clutch disengaged, with ...

Vettel has done two major unforced blunders this season that perhaps have sealed his bid for the title. This one, and bumping Hamilton in Baku.

Prema

Vettel assumes that Verstappen, (forget about Kimi for a second) will move because he is coming across. Verstappen sees himself as at least equal to Vettel and hold his ground not conceding the track willingly to make a point. Vettel would have had to move back across to get the racing line for the...

"That could be a championship defining moment," said Martin Brundle. "I think it's Vettel's fault as he didn't realise his team-mate was there and squeezed Verstappen," Brundle says. "If you're going to blame anybody, you have to blame Vettel . There was nowhere Verstappen could go." I believe it i...

It didn't even occur to me that there might be a perceived racist connection until it was pointed out, and if the link is that tenuous then I'm of the opinion that they should always be given the benefit of the doubt Exactly, a lot of problematic racist stuff needs to be pointed out to people in th...

And with regards to today's comment, I think it's beyond too-sensitive to find offence in an innocent comment just because it has the word "voodoo" in it. I'm not offended by the comment, just trying to explain to Prema why someone could take offence. I'm talking in general terms. if anybody takes ...

It's in your mind. Take care of that. I know, that's why it's important to understand that throwaway comments can rub people the wrong way.

That what is problematic is in your heads. I had no awareness of his ethnicity, guess you do. Just a tongue in cheek, considering the outcome being the kind you have to write down on paper to wish for Hamilton. I'm suggesting it was unconcious.

No, no. This case is definitely a voodoo job. Well done, though.

Hamilton's voodoo worked out this time.

Bottas really needs to step up his qualifying. He doesn't need to beat Lewis but he needs to get much much closer, the gaps since Canada have been huge, much further away than Kimi's been from Seb and Kimi gets pelters for it. Just read elsewhere that Alonso lost his quali mode for the last run whi...

McLaren: For info, you're P7 Alonso: For info, we could be P1. I'm bored of Alonso's whining now. It's justified! The first few times is justified . Now it's just boring. We get it, the engine is no good. Sitting their whining is not going to make it any quicker. We're talking about 3 long years of...

There was unlimited testing available and Irvine had limited testing, why would Ferrari do this? Interestingly, not even Irvin apparently hinted that him not geting testing time would had any negative impact on the car development itself. He just brought up that as the example of Schumacher's unspo...

People miss use the term "number 2" IMO. Nobody on the current grid is a Number 2 in the same way that Herbert, Barrichello or Irvine were to Schumacher or Berger was to Senna or Patrese was to Mansell. Or maybe there can be degrees of #2, and it doesn't have to be all or nothing? Personally, I fee...

Edit: I found the interviews, they are called a drink with Eddie Irvine. I'm familiar with the series, having watched all of them myself. Do you remember which episode he says that in? I'm not going to re-watch them all looking for a quote on testing. I found it on episode 16 so you can imagine how...

The term "#1 / #2 system" itself does not mean just anything but that what people attribute to it. Sure, it can have different kinds of possible forms, as you say, but if to have a discussion then people have to agree what particular form that is. Merc signed Bottas, with no single win in his F1 ca...

Prema

When I see things like 'that would be a mindless decision to make one of them be No2 to another one', I think people are really fundamentally overstating what a #2 driver is. Just because one driver is lower in priority than the other does not mean he's 'not allowed to beat the #1' or any of that h...

I feel that there was some misunderstanding of what "team comes first" policy is to mean when "#1" driver policy was brought in to object such. And as you indicated here, it is not the particular driver who would impose that policy on the team and designate himself. But the team, picking out the on...

Next one. Who was the No1 between Kimi and Alonso? Alonso was. It didn't usually matter, but a few times (Spain being the first one I can remember) we saw Alonso get the favored strategy even when he wasn't ahead. Now, that's vague as vague can possibly go. In the situation where it does not matter...

Just the fact that Ferrari signed Kimi one year till, is good enough "evidence" for some folks that it was what Vettel demanded and was granted. When Vettel came to RBR and started winning, folks were spilling their brains for 4 years how Webber was kept as No2 on the "golden boy's" demand. But Vet...
