You really think that's the argument being made here? Many fans are either indifferent to the result or happy that Max won, but are unimpressed with the manner the race ended. But sure, keep acting like everyone who disagrees with you is a Hamilton fanboy.
Based on what? I've been following the sport for about 25 years and while this year was interesting, I don't think the sport itself is at its peak.
And to label disagreeing opinions as just Hamilton fans is ignorant. I'm no Hamilton fan.
Let's say Danny Ric was battling Sainz for 5th, Lewis as leader laps Danny, Mazepin then does Mazepin things and puts it in the wall. Safety car picks up Lewis with Danny behind, Sainz continues merrily to the back of the field and is suddenly 98% of a lap ahead of Danny. This is why cars are...
No team principal in their right mind would pit their driver and give up track position with 5 laps left behind a safety car in a title deciding race. It's sheer madness. Imagine if they did that and the race finished behind the safety car? It'd go down as the most monumental * up in sport...
It really shouldn't. I don't see why we need to be so explicit just to avoid a situation that common sense should have prevented in the first place. It is not reasonable to decide to only let some cars through.
Don't confuse contrived with rigged for Max to win. It wasn't rigged but it absolutely was contrived. They manufactured a close and "entertaining" ending to the race, regardless of who won. It was entertaining but it hurt the credibility of the sport. This wasn't just a communication issue, they...
He wouldn't have had time. Hamilton could really only have pitted the lap after Max. The VSC ended before he could have made it in and out. Max would have overtaken him.
To suggest that only certain cars can go through is an extremely poor interpretation (by Masi, not you). Even Ric was wondering why the * he was stuck behind the leaders unable to unlap himself.
But the rules aren't loose, you simply cannot let just 5 cars unlap themselves. Imagine you're the 6th lapped car battling the 5th, they get let through and you don't, you'd just been robbed of a chance for an extra place. Fans may not care about middle order teams, but for them the consequences...
This title race was like the Richmond v Geelong GF, didn't really want either campaigner to win but I guess one had to. Neither driver/team has been overly graceful this season.
Ultimately, Ham lost it the moment Latifi put it in the wall. It was a lose lose situation for Mercedes strategy wise. Came...
Charlie Whiting: "Ocon is entitled to unlap himself"
Also Charlie Whiting: "Ocon shouldn't have tried to overtake the leader"
Thanks for the clarification Charlie.
Drivers have always been allowed to unlap themselves. Ocon was ahead going into the first turn, Max well and truly knew he was...
As I said, I don't think they're actively sabotaging him, the tinkering on the car comment is more out of frustration. The half-arsed maintenance though, I stand by and is hardly 'tin-foiled hat'.
I don't actually believe he's being sabotaged, but I do believe they're not giving his car their best service. After the COTA race, Max actually called out the team on their lack of professionalism after people were making jokes at Daniel's expense.
The guy in the video also has his head in...
I was at this race, sitting in the stadium, saw Danny's engine start smoking before it failed. I'm so dirty about the result. If Red Bull aren't actively sabotaging him, they're half arsing the maintenance of his car! Probably Marko's orders, that guy is the biggest campaigner in F1!
Don't have high...
Hamilton and his fans are really poor losers. Always whinging when things don't go their way.
Well done Rosberg! You don't need to be the best driver, just score the most points.
It's a good point, one that most people seem to be missing. Even if he was intentionally backing him up, he's perfectly entitled to do so. That sort of thing has been happening in F1 from day dot. What I can't understand is how people are using that as an excuse for Vettel's move on Ric. He...
