F1 Season 2021

[deano ou812]

He‘s the new world champion but even verstappen must realise it’s not right maybe he won’t give too fucks,but it’s a tarnished title in my view ..

 

[MillionMilesAway]

That would be fine but you either let all the cars un-lap or you don't.

You don't just let 5 move out of the way so the car on fresh tyres gets a run on the other.

You won't be able to pin that on a team though. Masi made the decision. Red Bull didn't.

I've said it's absurd.

 

[Saddleworth2]

It's funny though :-D

Not really. Not unless you think corruption and cheating funny.

 

[Tiattos_Waterbottle]

Lewis ran him off the course at Silverstone and put him in hospital, and Bottas torpedo'd him in Hungary and you want to complain about what's fair and what isn't? Accusing Red Bull of cheating for a decision outside their control is pretty hilarious, mind.

 

[I'm Blue]

I’m guessing we’ll see an appeal, maybe even a trip to CAS.

 

[SWP's back]

This was like Mike Riley's performance at the swamp that ended Arsenal's unbeaten run, hell it was worse pure cheating.

It’s a good similar but if anything, this was even more bent.

 

[waspish]

If they had, Verstappen wouldn’t have pitted and he’d have lost anyway.

Hamilton should of pitted as soon as max did to me is seemed like the thing to do.

 

[hilts]

Both teams are as bad as each other for whining.

I'd expect both teams to be trying to influence things as much as they can and they did so, and they need to be told it's unacceptable.

What other sport allows that though. You wouldn't want football managers in radio link up with refs and var. It's just done for viewers. Every sport is about money and PR to some degree but this is just nonsense. Its getting like wrestling

 

[MCFC1993]

Which is why there is a rule book.

It is in black and white . "once the last lapped car has passed the leader the safety car will return to the pits at the end of the following lap.”

That never happened. Masi broke the FIA rules to get the safety car in before the last lap to give Verstappen the race.

Do Mercedes have grounds for appeal? I mean we haven't heard from Toto.

It's there in black and white.

Or will they be dignified and just take it?

This.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Bizarre this TV coverage to me. Nobody asking anyone what they think about that new ruling at the end of the safety car.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

The 4 cars that were moved out of the way; weren’t they racing for points? Letting them past the safety car put them at the back of the field and out of the points. How does that work?

 

[hilts]

Verstappen knows he won by cheating what has happened to sportsmanship ?
Surely you had to win knowing you won fairly

How did he cheat ?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

You must be new to sports if you think most sports people give a shit. He'll no doubt justify it to himself by pointing at times when he had "bad luck."

 

[bluealf]

I'm done with this sport

 

[Don Karleone]

There goes my interest in F1. Annoyed me more than I thought it would

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

and rightly fucking so.

how this **** has the gal to actually call himself world champion.

You sound like a rag

 

[01cravend]

You should really say nothing if you don't know what you're talking about.

Hamilton questioned it himself, but it genuinely wouldnt suprise me if you thought you know more than him too.

They relied on the race not restarting, could tell on team comms when Hamilton said he'll be right behind me on new tires and they didn't respond to him.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Hamilton should of pitted as soon as max did to me is seemed like the thing to do.

Impossible. Lewis would have to do another lap before pitting. The VSC ended before he could do that and he’d have lost track position under the SC.

lol I didn't realise Max was a member on here.
