basically allowed cars to shoot off in front of the safety car, bringing Verstappen level with Hamilton, who had pre-safety car been 12 seconds ahead and 5 back markers between them that Hamilton had already passed.So did fia say no lap drivers overtake? Res bull whinged then fia said ok just those 4 lapped drivers overtake but no one else l?
Boo hoo :)Shit thread, shit sport, bent as.
Sky are masters of gaslighting.Its not just that the race director or referee cheated to change the nature of the race, its that the bloody commentary on Sky completely gaslighted that and rejoiced like it was an amazing sporting moment. It wasn't. It was absolutely farcically bent. They know when they are on a good thing though and like all media know not to bite the hand that feeds it.
Its really the world today in micro. Truth, fairness, decency, all out the fucking window. I'm giving up on sport. John Moss et al yesterday. F(arce) 1 today.
Agree its happened now but Masi has to explain why he didn't follow the rules.RB? Not a chance, unless you want a sport to accept that one team can direct the admin. You are never going to prove that in court.
Masi? Yes. As he's not going to admit to favouring one team (and it won't be provable), at worst he engineered a spectacle.
Most importantly, Verstappen would lose out for something Masi did. That's a ludicrous outcome. Even if Masi says "I wanted Verstappen to win", it shouldn't be to Verstappen's detriment.
Most of them are only there because they've got a rich daddy. It's not a massive surprise if they turn out to be shit. Kinda like......nah, can't think of any recent parallels.This.
As good as Lewis and Max are, the rest of the field are so far behind it’s actually criminal and for some, being unable to keep it on they track most weekends s shameful given their status as amongst the best drivers in the world.
Yeah. I should know better.Sky are masters of gaslighting.
This.To be honest I would have much preferred Max to punt Lewis than this. At least then it is between the racers.
I think the FIA / F1 owners wanted a racing finish and then panicked and now we have a farce instead.
Reminds me of the Golden Goal they had in football for a while. It seems like a good idea for the drama but it isn’t sport
Safety car on lap 54/55 to clear Latifi's crashed car. Bunched the pack up, eradicating Lewis's lead over Max. Lewis only 0.4 seconds ahead when SC comes in, Race Control only allows 5 backmarkers through instead of the whole pack. Max on better tyres overtakes and holds off Lewis on the last lap.
Yep. All of which showed it was THE most bent ‘sporting decision’ made in top level sport in the last 20 years. It was bent beyond belief and the title will end up meaning fuck all to anyone that with any knowledge of the sport.basically allowed cars to shoot off in front of the safety car, bringing Verstappen level with Hamilton, who had pre-safety car been 12 seconds ahead and 5 back markers between them that Hamilton had already passed.
He sold the jet sox years ago you bellend.Frankly, I couldn't give two hoots. Hamilton is a twunt of the highest order. Lectures everyone on climate change and travel's the world via private jet.
Say it isn't so, Joe.s'what happens when Americans own a sport.
