I’m confused. In the Canada thread people were saying that you shouldn’t listen to the opinions of former drivers when they spoke out about Vettel’s penalty. Do we listen to them now that they’re saying things that support Hamilton?

How so? Both are instances where former drivers are giving their opinion. People said to ignore it before. What’s changed?Completely different scenario.

Yes I can see the difference but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a former driver giving an opinion which everyone said should be ignored after the Canada race.In the first instance the Vettel got penalised for breaking the rules, and the drivers said "rules are bad". In the second instance, Leclerc broke the rules and didn't get penalised, and now some drivers like Palmer are saying "he broke the rules, should have been punished".
One instance advocates not applying the rules, and the other advocates applying the rules. Can you not see the difference?

It’s more like “former drivers said something we don’t agree with, they should be ignored. Now they’re saying something we agree with, they shouldn’t be ignored.”
I'm not at all, you've even said it there that former drivers aren't the best people to listen to regarding breaking rules...That's not what was said though. It was "former drivers want to break the rules because drivers push the limits on every rule no matter what, so they are not necessarily the best people to listen to regarding breaking the rules". In the second case, the drivers were advocating actually obeying the rules because they should be the same for everyone, not changed willy-nilly depending on the who and where the racing is.
You're deliberately ignoring the context to make it much more simplistic than it is.

So if a driver speaks out against a penalty then we don't listen but if they speak out saying that someone (not Hamilton ) should get a penalty then we listen. Got it. That's all I needed to know.
I agree there is a big difference between saying "we don't need to follow the rules" and "why aren't we following the rules", however none of them said "we don't need to follow the rules", they said that they didn't agree with the penalty because, in their view as a driver, Vettel didn't break any rules. It's exactly the same as them saying in their view as a driver that Leclerc broke the rules and should have got a penalty.Stop being obtuse to the point of trolling. There's a big difference between saying "we don't need to follow the rules we've agreed to" and "why aren't we following the rules we've agreed to". And you know it.

Heh, if only that was what people were sayingPeople: Drivers are biased and we should take their biases into account when considering what they say.
Timmeh: People were saying that you shouldn't listen to the opinions of former drivers!
People: ...
FTFYPeople: This driver said something I don't agree with. Former drivers make terrible pundits.
Also People: This driver said something I agree with. This is absolutely 100% fact.
