  1. That's not actually true. The stewards lacked data at the time the decision was made. No change was made because they ruled (bizarrely) the new evidence wasn't "significant". However what has been very evident throughout this thread is your anti LH stance.
  2. it does on multiple corners. Not even attempting to make the corner to force someone wide should be a penalty regardless of track or layout.
  3. Absolute nonsense, he made no attempt to make the corner, just force them both off. If someone isn't allowed to overtake off track, you shouldnt be able to force both off in defence. This has now set a precedent where it will be impossible for Hamilton to overtake Verstappen around the outside, because Max will just do the same thing every time, "hit me and we both DNF or go off track and lose time" I guarantee if Bottas does this to Verstappen next race and Max hits him (because he flat out refuses to ever back out no matter what) you will be complaining about it.
  4. What seems odd to me (although I can see some reasoning) is the FA saying the replay has to be done in full and is at Exeter again, but the red card in the game still stands. Surely it's a case of the game being void or not. However can also see that if it had been a red for violent misconduct or something it would then look like player gets off free from the behaviour.
  5. Always felt the Norris penalty at Austria was harsh. He was ahead the whole time and stuck to the racing line, not deliberately push Perez off. Add in that they say they are more lenient on the first lap/first lap after a safety car (which it was) and Norris was penalised for Perez being overambitious. Whereas Max here should have been an open and shut "he forced him wide".
  6. But being off the racing line means he should be more cautious with the corner, and as Hamilton already has the position Max has to either turn in earlier to try and retake it, or cede the position. Not wait until he's virtually at the apex before turning, and then taking the position back by running them both off track.
  7. Don't think so, in the replay shown in the race we had the camera on his steering wheel down the straight, but it switched to the rear facing one right at the corner entry.
  8. Will be quite funny if they manage it. Googles showing Derby on -3 at the moment, so 30 needed to get past Blackpool
  9. Could Derby end this season with not just the lowest ever Premier League points tally, but Championship one too?
  10. Guy I work with has a bet on, but need us to have 10 corners. He's not happy with their goalkeeper!
  11. Yes he did. He played, and scored against San Marino in 4 different games. May have played in more without scoring, didn't check that hard.
  12. With the reg changes and how they're limiting some times for things like wind tunnels it might be preferable to take the WDC and come second in the Constructors this year. Neither side is short of money either way, but less restrictions on their development allocation could prove pivotal.
  13. Bits that give him an edge for me is that he wasn't just F1, but he raced everything. Pretty sure there was one year where he averaged at more than 1 race a week, and that's when travelling down to Australia would take multiple days. He led for 95% of an Indy500 on his way to winning it, and in an F1 race he lost an entire lap, unlapped himself and retook the lead of the race, only to come third because the car had been underfuelled. Plus the comments from engineers about how they could look at components and tell which were from his car because they weren't worn down at all, and drivers of the time saying his death had to be a mechanical failure because Jim just didn't make mistakes. Or how it's pretty widely accepted the only reason he didn't get more than 2 WDC was entirely down to the reliability of his Lotus. I'm sure there's probably an element of bias in my view because he was so far before my time and not seeing him race, but he still has the record for % of laps led in one season over 50 years on, and both his titles he got the maximum points he possibly could (although that's with the different scoring system of the time). Of course it's impossible to fairly compare drivers from different eras and good arguments could be made for Fangio, Senna, Hamilton and a few others no doubt.
  14. Jim Clarke the greatest for me, but Hamilton has to be in the conversation.
  15. He'd have flooded the lakes around Interlagos
  16. And if Max had actually been penalised for his dirty driving he doesn't get 2nd. Great drive by SLH though
  17. How Max has 22% on driver of the day shows it as the joke it is. Hamilton and Norris should easily be the top 2 on that, Lando having to come back from last to get in the points.
  18. Well done Lewis Max being allowed to get away with anything this race, first pushing Lewis off track, then double defensive moves.
  19. Verstappen is such a dirty ****
  20. Mercedes look like they have ****** up the strategy yet again
  21. My favourite player to wear the Bristol Rovers shirt, Colin Daniel, was a part of the Exeter side tonight.
  22. He had a awful moment at the start of the game, but other than that didn't really do anything wrong. But anything that was slightly imperfect after that first moment was picked up on and exaggerated.
