F1 Season 2021

Because they were trying it on, like everybody does in every sport.

Sky finally showing the footage, and they'll need another angle, I'd guess.

But Masi caved in and allowed it when it is against all the know rules, so how does that work if Mercedes appeals, as I said surely they would win that appeal as those 5 cars should have been still in between the two cars, as the 'normal' rules.
Masi is at fault IMO and it should be overturned on appeal.

Why didnt max wait for all the lapped cars to go passed than ?

It was like the wacky races was the safety car still on the track when the race got underway?

I dont often watch F1 because I dont have sky, I used to love watching it when it was on terrestial TV years ago But for me F1 has lost any credibilty with that shambles at the end, I am not a big fan of either driver but to end the race like that is just not right.

The silence is deafening.

I think it's clear to see the FIA have fucked this up, went for the drama over the sport.

The rules were clear and it's the whole reason Mercedes went with the strategy of not pitting under the safety car. If they had pitted, Red Bull would have stayed out knowing it would end under the safety.

I wonder if the driver who crashed took a dive now that would be something

It was Latifi; no bung was required ;)

 

[Sir peace frog]

Red Bull had remote control of his car? Lol

No but maybe a share of performance data next season , or whatever would improve the car next season, I don't know much about f1 but I'm sure there's plenty of friends on different teams

What does it mean to let those cars go through? It looked to me that Verstappen was asked to go in front of them, so it was him that went through.

Also, why would it have made any difference if the other lapped cars had gone through? Surely, the restart would still have been with Hamilton and Verstappen in first and second place anyway?

Because those cars should have been in between Max and Lewis, meaning Max would have to overtake 5 back markers and then Hamilton in one lap and that isn't going to really happen.

The rule is racing will not restart until one full lap after all cars lapped have gone through. That would have taken it into the last lap under yellows and behind the SC and the race is over.

Merc and Lewis have been shafted.

It’s unprovable and is probably just a driving fuck up.

He hates everything about you too, which seems a bit unfair, as he doesn't know the fuck you are either.
