So pleased that you are happy then.
F1 2021 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Would interpret it as deployment of SC as well, but like you said, very vague
Well we know at that point you'll still be WUM'ing the thread.
If it's open to interpretation it wont go anywhere.
Judge Rinder
they shouldn’t be allowed to take it to a court of sport. the fia have clearly stated that the rules can be made up by the director on the fly and the teams just have to put up with it. that’s not a sport: i’m not a conspiracy nut but as a result, a race director with an agenda can manufacture a result.
sorry but WWE has never been a sport. It is manufactured tripe.
If Max hadn't overtaken Hamilton, that was next on his list... pulling Hamilton over three bends of the finish for a random breathalyser checkI mean just look at some of his powers according to this list
"The stopping of any car in accordance with the Code or Sporting Regulations."
One thing that I do think is important to note.. A hell of a lot of people were thinking Max would drive like a twat today and deliberately hit Lewis. He didn’t. And he had the chance on lap 1.
Max drove well and has driven well for the entire season (apart from the stupid moments he’s had). But fair play to him. He’s made it a very exciting season and this won’t be his only WC.

Max will win the next 6 or 7 titles I'm sure, then he will have to pass the torch when the FIA get bored.
I’m not English and never really been a fan of Hamilton. That ending made a mockery of the sport.Everybody not following Lewis disagree's with this.
It's Damon 94 all over again
Salty english fans and everybody else lapping it up
You think this is the sport with the most financial disparity between teams?
Christ
It was always going to be the case. Same for Perez and Bottas.
Bottas could have cleaned Max out at Saudi Arabia when he fecked the restart but he bailed out instead and lost a load of places.
Wonder how much Masi had on Verstappen to win.
it’s been a good result for him. i really didn’t want him before today with his sound bites and hypocrisy but circumstances have mellowed me. not his fault it ended how it did. someone just decided he should get the chance to win it that his performances deserved this year.
That holds true for basically every official in every sport.
F1 literally has a "Constructors Championship" title for the manufacturers. It's not tripe but it's certainly "manufactured".
I was joking about WWE but F1 is not and has never been a sport. It's a fascinating engineering contest with some wonky rules. It's closer to Robot Wars than it is to the 400meter dash.
what agenda did he have?
not really. what happened today is akin to the ref deciding what is a goal and what isn’t a goal, despite having a clear rule set laid out in the rules.
I agree. But it's not black and white.
Besides, we all know Merc won't push overly hard. They'll be after leeway for the next few seasons and the rule changes. It's F1, they don't actually give a shit about rules being changed and the driver championship, they want to know what they'll get to help stay on top and not push this further.
Toto isn't a pussy, he's a c***.
That is that then. No way CAS overrules that.
But in my view, that merely means when the safety car should be used and not how it should be used. But I agree with others, it is frustratingly vague. Hopefully we see clearer rules in the future.
cant disagree with that
i’m not saying he had one. the fia have made it clear that the race director has authority to ignore certain rules if they want to. that means a bad race director, say a race director that has had most people moaning at him all year, can contrive a result as they seem fit, with maybe what brings the best stories or the highest social media engagement in mind.
Horner made that one clear both during and after the race tbf.
Ridiculous.
Scripting a spectacle over following standard procedure?
I doubt it. Look what this has done. Its like Sepp Blatter not wanting tech so that everyone is talking about the decisions.
C'mon Lewis, announce Formula E! This is probably as good a time to make the change as ever!
He's not saying has an agenda but saying that one with an agenda could make his own result.
I think he had an agenda though. He wanted a spectacle at the end of the race and ignored the rules to get that spectacle.
This is definitive of myself. Gave F1 a try, I really enjoy cars generally but watching so many laps can be slightly boring imo. Boxing, Football and NBA in no particular order.
It is a shame though irrespective of who won it would have been far more proficient if it was on the terms of racing solely.
completely agree
There will always be opinions in any sport and I’d quite happily say I have a differing opinion on silverstone but it’s irrelevant. Season is over, one of them was going to win and whoever it was deserves it because it’s been a pretty great season with every kind of drama you could think of.
Withdraw from f1... pull engines from mclaren aston and Williams
Leave them with 12 cars and throw loadsamoney at formula e
To be completely honest I would not want any championship to be decided on the whim of the racing director fixing it and creating a "miracle" in the final laps. For any team/driver.
What I am saying is that in any officiated sport the referees can change the result in case they wish to. So that does not make it different than other sports.
No, refs don't have overarching power over rules. They may apply them wrong or make mistakes, but they're not paid go against them because he feels like it
Would love a verstappen tweet
“don’t cha wish your tires were soft like me”
