Hmmm I've given Bernie the benefit of doubt in the past but these comments should see him removed from any association with F1

Be careful what you wish for Merc. If the situation is a 'serious safety concern' then surely the FIA could take action on those ‘unsafe’ cars, and perhaps request them to adjust the setup in order to render them safe to compete?

I wonder if some views (including mine) were influenced by the cheap and tacky feel of the overall show/hype. The actual race itself was better that I was expecting and I’d probably rather watch drivers being challenged with an awkward closed track than some of the older ‘new’ races we’ve had where ...

What the hell is this pre podium stuff. Either I am getting old or this is formula 1 now. But this is not necessary. Surely. Max and bernie would never of allowed this rubbish to happen. Yes I must be getting old too because I gave up and couldn't watch the pre/post race show because it was such a ...

It would be funny if the McLaren porpoised down the straight with Lando’s basketball head bouncing up and down.

Best post so far in this thread!

The hype is starting to get to me. They seem to be giving the impression that Miami is some sort of world destination on par with Monaco, London, or maybe New York. It's not. Miami is the retirement community of the Midwest. For all its faults, Vegas is ten times as glamorous. I know what you mean....

I don't get why so many fans are moaning about the lack of DRS, I found it refreshing. The passes that did happen during that period were good moves rather than just ‘flip a switch and drive past’ (which everyone also moans about!

Sorry for the awkward and sad post, but thought fellow forumers would like to know that the BBC and Sky are reporting that; according to the coroner's report; Max Mosley took his own life. It is reported that his terminal cancer was such that he had very little time left and was in great pain. He sh...

To me incessant hyperbole equates to dumbing down, which annoys intensely me, and is the reason I watch very little TV these days. F1 is one of the very few things I watch and I find myself no longer watching the pre/post shows anymore.

I think they’re both great team principals but IMO the level of personal insults flying around is becoming very tedious (even though I concede he can be annoying). I’m not just talking about this forum btw, it just feels very un-F1 like compared to the F1 I grew up with. (Yes rose tinted specs and a...

Us poor folk living in Scotland need to make the most of decent weather so I don't like spending weekend time in front of a TV when the sun is out, so I've weaned myself onto watching highlights or a recording. A few years ago I wouldn't have missed a second but I don't find the coverage as compelli...

I'm always excited for DTS coming out and always slightly disappointed, but I quite enjoyed it all the same.

Tsunoda asking his trainer for a massage and telling him to wait 'I need to poo first' was slightly disturbing

There don't seem to be many people voicing the opinion that Max might learn something from last year (and the massive amount of criticism) and clean his act up, (here's hoping anyway).

Just reading some reports that Mazepin will be replaced by Giovinazzi??

The McLaren looks good!

It seems a real trend over the last few years that when any celeb or public figure does something ‘wrong’ they are inevitably bombarded with social media abuse and threats. It’s just idiotic. Is it just me or are there more idiots in the world these days? (I’m at that age where I often think ‘it was...

Help me out here, I'm struggling to see why anyone would not want this to go to court unless you believe Masi acted correctly and within his rights. Max fans should want the situation clarified and Max's title confirmed to be untainted and well earned. Lewis fans might want the result to be reverse...

One important factor for me is how the FIA and Liberty act and change going forward. What possible impetus remains for any change? This is just the day the mask slipped, on the road to hell-in-a-handcart. I feel like I’ve woken up from being under a spell. I’ve been disabused of my interest. I can’...

I am divided as to what to think for obvious reasons.

Anyone hearing anything about Mercedes dropping the ICA appeal (at the request of Lewis)? I did read something to that effect. Others have questioned the reliability of my source. (Daily Express) As of about an hour ago, that same outlet is running a headline to the effect that Wolff and Horner hav...

Oh by the way. I do understand it might be frustrating that Mercedes lost the race due a technicality that was out of their control. But luck evens itself out over a season, as I have been told before on this forum. It wasn't a technicality. It was a deliberate break of the rules. Had all safety ca...

This incident alone won’t change my habits as there have been several occurrences over the years that have turned me from an avid fan to a casual fan. This is just another one of these things, and I’m actually quite glad I’m not so invested as I once was.

Biffa

1. I supported Max this year but I think Lewis was robbed. 2. I think Masi made a huge mistake in a difficult situation, incompetent yes but I wish people would stop with the conspiracy theories. 3. I understand why Merc want to go to court but I think overturning the results will be even more damag...

The fia have wrote the rules as such that article 15.3 has basically given Michael masi can't blanche to do what the hell he likes.

Yep, the way some of the rules are vaguely worded gives them a lot of wriggle room.

I’ve been rooting for Max this year and tbh as excitement overtook me on the final lap I was jumping for joy! Now that I’ve had time to reflect I think this feels very wrong, and whatever happens with the appeal no one comes out feeling like a winner. Even though I would have hated a safety car fini...

I think the only thing that could cause him to retire early is a big inter team battle for the title that gets nasty but he comes out the winner of. Not sure he's got another one of those in him to start again at this point. Or if Russell clearly beats him next year and it looks like he's past his ...

I wanted Max, primarily to mix things up, bring back some real competition at the front and see an end to inevitable championship results. Up until the last few races I thought Max had matured and was driving exceptionally well, but obviously things have slipped recently and I suspect the SA race ha...

Close call but Horner just edges it for me, mainly because we've never really seen Toto manage a team from a lower mid-field position. Also (and I could be imagining this) but this year now that Merc has some proper competition - and are not pre-ordained to win, I sense I am seeing a few cracks in T...

They should do the single run shootout format for quali next year at Monza. :thumbup: Was thinking exactly the same thing. If you mean running one after the other, the track evolution we saw this year would make it almost pointless if you're one of the early runners, even if you're in the best car....

Maybe I'm going against the grain but I'm pleased to see Albon back in F1. He had some cracking races for TR and looked racey at RB (initially). Hope he does well.

Regardless of anything else I'm absolutely gutted for the fans, especially given there will be significant numbers with families travelling from abroad, paying silly hotel prices and significant ticket prices who have looked forward to attending this race for months.

Bit of house renovation but mostly drinking beer in the garden

Yeah Lewis himself mentioned it's the effect of long Covid but that he hasn't seen anyone or discussed it with a doctor. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.hamilton-says-hes-still-suffering-effects-of-covid-as-hes-treated-for.3FLR6GKTnAQvvxzImKHd9E.html But surely the FIA will have him goin...

Not seen it mentioned here but there was talk of Lewis' fatigue'd appearance being the result of him still struggling with long-covid.

Enough of Hamilton's easy ride with Bottas. I've got a novel idea tho... Get George Russell in the Merc for 2022. Now why do I have this uneasy feeling, especially given how absolutely delighted Bottas is recently to play second fiddle to Lewis in terms of his demeanour and words in interviews afte...
