RedM Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 1 hour ago, WarksRobin said: It didn’t help that Max was slowing on the racing line. They need a rule that if you are instructed to hand track position back you need to do it by leaving the racing line so you don’t retain an advantage. I agree, he played all the dark arts and positioned himself in the middle of the track. What did he think would happen, amazing both cars didn’t wipe eachother out, or was that the aim?

Maybe they need to consider a rule for such a eventuality Maybe if they give a place back they cannot then regain it for half a lap/until after they pass the start line or for x amount of seconds? Seems a farce if the advantage is only for milliseconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 The Red Bull driver was given three different penalties at last weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix for offences he was deemed to have committed while racing against Hamilton's Mercedes. One was for overtaking while off the track, one was for forcing Hamilton off the circuit and one was for braking in front of him and causing a collision. Yet Max can't see what the problem is!?

Red Bull realistically need a 1st and 2nd in order to win the Constructors Championship. If Perez takes out Hamilton, Red Bull can only get 26 points and they are 28 points behind.

Anyway, rivalry aside, I am hoping for a good clean race and I just want to see it settled without a controversial incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if countback then goes to who has the most second places i assume Max would win then Add in Bottas taking him out (totally unintentionally, I’m not suggesting otherwise), two races of 0 points where he would have had a win and probably a second at least. There’s not much point in the fencing and points scoring, as we’ll have to agree to disagree, but in my opinion, yet another season of Hamilton winning the title by circa 80 points would have once again diminished the appeal of F1, this season has sparked interest and has proven that it’s not a procession. The technical dominance of Mercedes has been impressive, but any dominance that goes on too long isn’t good for a sport (unless of course City have a 10 year run winning the Prem and the Champions League…. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look stupidly quick That’ll please the armchair twitter fans who’ve convinced themselves that if Max wins it’s because of the driver and if it’s Lewis it must be the car. It does amaze me how they let a F1 driver/team live rent free in their head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British or not means not a jot to me but just want to see it as competitive. This is the first time that has happened for a good while. Max wins & next year becomes very watchable.
