Poll: Qatar Grand Prix 2021, Lusail - Race 20

[the wopster]

Last week this style of posting was not allowed.
Are we allowed to "wish" drivers being crashed out now? I don't have a problem with it, but it seems it's maybe only allowed if we're hoping for one specific driver to be crashed into...

at no point did I use the word “crashed out” an exact carbon copy of last weeks shenanigans on max by another driver would be perfect, just to see how much he thinks that’s hard fair racing.
Fully expecting Lewis to not finish one of the next 3 races after being torpedoed or an parts failure TBH

It’s strange how the rhetoric has changed amongst fans in relation to Max. Most neutrals was supporting him in order to have a new WDC. Now it seems he’s alienated some of that support with his driving and perceived FIA assistance (to keep the title fight going)

I'm a neutral.
I kind of accepted the no penalty from last race. I thought it should be one. But glad it wasn't.

This one is different. I feel if it was anyone else it would be a penalty. Sets a dangerous standard

Not great

If Max gets a grid penalty, it'll be really interesting to see what happens with him being further down the pack at the start. His usual bully boy technique of not giving an inch and expecting the other person to yield might not work quite so well when he's in around multiple other cars, all fighting for position.

Has there been a outcome to this?

He'll have to get past Bottas no? Since Bottas is also likely to get a penalty. Maybe this time Bottas will defend better.

Especially now his move in Brazil has opened them all up to dangerous defending. In all reality though I suspect self preservation instincts will come into play- most drivers (not Max) do not want contact and they have years of muscle memory behind them that will avoid it. So he'll still probably pick his way through eventually.

I assume they won't announce until all drivers have had their sessions with the stewards.

 

[the wopster]

Aye 1130 is my guess

Can you imagine the backlash if they don’t punish him

 

[Irish_Tom]

If they let them all off I expect the backlash will be tempered somewhat.

 

[the wopster]

What’s the odds the steward say that by the time max came through the flags were waved by mistake and as they lights were green on the pit straight everything’s ok, even though everyone knows flags take priority over lights on track and dash

I called it this morning

Bet if maxi wasn’t involved it would be penalty’s all around

For clarity, it wasnt me posting the comments that got deleted. I just feel that F1 threads are turning into a bit of a joke here recently.
Of course most people will like Hamilton on a primarily British forum, but the bias here is unreal.

If you speak negatively of Hamilton you get people playing the victim card and defending him, as if he has never gotten dirty in racing, their memories are that of a fish before 2013/2014, heck even in the last couple of years (Albon says hi)

Everyone also likes to call out FIA bias etc yet forget the number of controversial decisions in the last 10-15 years which have been questionable and favourable towards Lewis.

Now to sit back and wait for more people to cry at this post.

I have been watching F1 for many years and that press conference between Horner and Toto was like watching a fake American wrestling event. I hope that is not the future of this sport I have watched since the Mansell era. I used to like Horner, but it seems his true personality is coming out these days.

 

[utajoker]

they where in from 10am uk time, no annoucement yet.

 

[XeNoN89]

12 maybe? 2 hours before race start

The problem are the obvious trolls who post inflammatory comments. Your terminology like ‘cry’ and ‘grabs popcorn’ is just a brilliant example.

It’s no different to when people just sugarcoat their comments with the same meaning.
