I thought the same thing at the end of 2006 when Schumi retired, but then came along a certain Mr Hamilton and I had another driver to root for. Then Alonso in the Ferrari. Then Button in the Brawn. Then Leclerc. So as loyalties shift and new rivalries develop, it keeps me going. I never thought I'd...

Why didn't Lewis cover the inside line? He must've (or at least should've) known Max will make a lunge on the inside if he's anywhere remotely near. That's his thing. Had he forced Max to make a move on the outside he could've squeezed him off track and there's no way they would have let him keep t...

https://youtu.be/BGvtbDl3rcI Alonso hasn't exactly been neutral this year, but his reaction is interesting. I felt watching at the time that Masi could have told them to unlap themselves a lap earlier, therefore avoiding this whole mess, as I thought the marshalls had cleared the track by that poin...

Can I just point out. I can remember two occasions that the race has finished under safety car. Monaco 2010. Remember schumachers move on alonso. And Brazil 2012. Alonso could have used an extra racing lap once he caught button So there was prescedent for a safety car finish. With the safety car pe...

I was angry yesterday. And am still angry today. Coming into the race, I was still on the fence. On one hand, I wanted to see a new WDC. On the other, I wanted Lewis to win his 8th. Either way, whoever won it deserved it, as long as the fight was fair and there was no Brazil/Jeddah-esque shenanigans...

Effectively, what we have here is an F1 version of the Trolley Problem . I disagree. The trolley problem is about sacrifice. If Masi follows procedure then the outcome is exactly the same as it would be if the situation requiring that procedure never happened. Status quo, race order already decided...

Toto Wolff was noticeable by his absence from the stewards decision meeting. It's perfectly within the FIA's discretion to declare him persona non grata at F1 races, there is precedent (Jean-Marie Balestre). One of both of Wolff and Masi might looking for new jobs come March Masi I understand, but ...

OK. Following the 'any doesn't mean all' ruling, I'm going to play a game with the regulations. DRS regulations taken from the official document. Where there are two sections, the distance between the two sections must lie between 10mm and 15mm at their closest position, except, in accordance with ...

If it was a 50/50 thing, I might have some sympathy. However, most hardcore fans who aren't idiots, immediately called shennaigans, and knew the rule that had been broken. What needs to happen, is Masi goes, and the race is rolled back one lap for the result. It is THE ONLY way F1 can salvage some ...

CAS will take less than 15 minutes to rule on this.

Red Bull are staying the protest has not been upheld, so the result stands.

According to Chris Medland.

For now.

I never thought Alex Jacques was that short?!
He's a good commentator.

Better than Edwards and Crofty combined, IMO.

I've just always seen shots of him in the commentary box and assumed he was at least the same height as DC and Webber.

Mercedes have got Paul Harris QC on the case now. With his track record Hamilton might win this title and be awarded the 2016 and 2007 World championships as well. Tell us more about this Paul Harris qc fella? Got man city out of their uefa ban and settled the biggest lawsuit in history apparently.

This will probably get buried due to the controversy but Verstappens race pace today was no better than Perez, the first time that has happened all season? An off day for Max or is Perez good around here?

Which makes it more heartbreaking for Mercedes. They had this in the bag.

MistaVega23

My question is, what are the options now?

Can the FIA rule that what Masi did was illegal and count the result from the previous lap? What's the precedent for contravening your own rules and allowing the result to stand?

MistaVega23

I need a couple of weeks to calm down. I'd never thought it would be rigged as openly as it was. Lewis did everything right only to be screwed by Masi.

I'm done.

MistaVega23

I'm assuming it's just the race and not FP/qualifying?

Max has the potential to be the best guy to ever sit in an F1 car. But he'll have to adjust his style a little because at the moment his stock is falling because he's looked at someone who lacks the defensive skills required to battle cleanly. Your last paragraph had me thinking. Is Max compensatin...

This is Hamilton's to lose but IMO it wouldn't be the best driver of the year winning it.. The Merc has been dominant package which can be seen buy how close Bottas has been to Lewis even though he is treated like a guinea pig.. Max deserves it for the year if all things stay the same but Lewis is ...

MistaVega23

It is indeed too close to call, but I think Hamilton will edge it.

I wonder what role both team mates will play in all of this? Bottas has won here before and Perez hasn't had a good record around AD, so advantage Merc?

MistaVega23

At the start of the season I was rooting for Max, primarily to have a new WDC and just because I want to see the no.1 on a car again* But since Silverstone, I've swayed towards Lewis. I'm hoping the Merc just drives off into the distance at Abu Dhabi and takes the 8th. *Whether Max would change his ...

Verstappen has lost 40 more points than Hamilton this season due to bad luck, Max lost all those points due to his stupid and flying rodent dropping crazy approach to driving. Okay, maybe not all, but most of it. Repeating a lie over and over again won’t make it true. Some Lewis fans have even trie...

MistaVega23

Given their pace in Jeddah I doubt anyone would be able to keep up with them anyway.

I'm more interested in what part Bottas and Perez will play in all of this.

MistaVega23

It says a lot about Verstappen as a racer that there is so much discussion post Saudi of how Hamilton can survive being taken out by him. I think it speaks volumes of the obvious and ridiculous British bias this sport and forum has... Nothing more Ridiculous in what way? Verstappen has proven himse...

In Brazil Senna couldn't live with Schumacher and I guess in part that's why he spun, trying so hard at his home race, I would say it was Senna's incredible qualifying ability that got him 3 poles in an inferior car. As to Schumacher's teammates well did they have the same car as Schumacher, Jos th...

You guys shouldn't miss the press conference that includes Wolff & Horner. Oh man........

When is this?!

You are wrong because you assume consistency. The next one will be penalized (except if it is Verstappen, of course). ;) The difference is that the fia have made a precedent now. So if your overtaking round the outside. Go as wide as you want. And keep your foot on the gas. I don't think they will ...

It's going to be interesting to see what kind of racing we get now and how much Masi loses control of the situation, he can't go back on what's been done because it then confers favouritism towards Max, is it the kind of F1 I will want to watch, I guess that depends on how ridiculous it becomes.

Do we STILL not have the onboard??

Slam dunk penalty IMO. I also like how Lewis, when he finally got past 11 laps later, gave Max a cheeky chop just to let him know he wasn't coming by this time.

MistaVega23

I'm guessing WEC or rallying. Single-seaters are out of the question IMO. Didn't he recently say he'd love to team up with Lando in something? Watching him cross the line yesterday was an emotional moment, I mean I've been watching this guy since I was 16 and I'm now 38. To not have him on the grid ...

Female drivers will never reach Formula 1 because young males (and their fathers) cannot accept being beaten by a woman. Unpopular opinion or not, this is one of the most ridiculous comments I've ever read on this forum. I dont agree that women will never reach F1 for this reason, but i dont think ...
