You just proved my point sir… Max does it to himself with his poor race craft and utter lack of any emotional control. If it were another driver they would get raked as well. I could not care less what Hamilton or anyone wears. This is a freaking racing thread not a fashion thread.

The funny thing about all this is. Max was going to lose this race. He didn't have the pace today but by pulling todays stunt he showed his true colors.

But yeah he's showing the side of him that I really wish he would bury and turn over a new leaf. Because if the field is going to be closer together next year with the new car concept I don't think he will be able to win a championship with that mentality. Because he will be far to agressive and will likely sustain unnecessary DNF's that will hinder his title chances.

[QUOTE=F87source;28330127]Well he had a chance if it was on hards (he was matching lewis's pace for awhile till the tires dropped off), but redbull kind of screwed him with the mediums because it couldn't last long enough.
All the incidents aside, he did not have a chance. Lewis easily was pulling him in on the hards even when Max's mediums were new. RB was banking on another safety car incident, as pointed out by the Sky commentators. Mercedes clearly had the better pace and Max knew it too.

Lol this probably will be sketchy if max tries to take Lewis out next race to win by default, but he might risk a DQ.

The penalty for replacing PU with new outside the allowed number is ridiculous, it was all made up by Fia to help Merc who knew already Merc PU was quicker but more fragile and the Honda PU is more reliable but can't be boosted like the Merc one.

Where is your evidence on this? Wait that's right you only make stuff up. Because the rules for enigne changes and penalties that reflect today's rule set were first published in 2018, which was way before honda and redbull could even hold a candle to mercedes in terms of car performance. FIA sporting regulation section 23.3 b: https://www.fia.com/sites/default/fi...2018-07-17.pdf "Should a driver use more than the numbers set in a) above of any one of the elements during a Championship season, a grid place penalty will be imposed upon him at the first Event during which each additional element is used. Penalties will be applied according to the following table and will be cumulative : The first time an additional element is used Ten grid place penalty. The next times an additional element is used Five grid place penalty. If a driver incurs a penalty exceeding 15 grid places he will be required to start the race from the back of the starting grid. If more than one driver receives such a penalty they will be arranged at the back of the grid in the order in which the offences were committed. However, if more than one driver incurs such a penalty after the end of the qualifying session Article 35.2(c) will apply. Any of the six elements will be deemed to have been used once the car’s timing transponder has shown that it has left the pit lane. During any single Event, if a driver introduces more than one of the same power unit element which is subject to penalties, only the last element fitted may be used at subsequent Events without further penalty."

There used to be an understanding (regulation?) that giving a place back had to be in such a manner that it would not be only short lived.
This was clarified after a race at Spa where Hamilton passed someone at the right hander before the start finish straight by going off track. He gave the place back straight away without being told but then repassed on the long straight. Hamilton got a penalty and lost the race. So this needs to be affirmed at the next drivers meeting to stop Verstappen trying his BS again. |

There is no such rule and under the thumb stewards decide outside of the rules margins usually to help Hamilton.

Maybe this is the result of "money rules".
Build an "fantastic" artificial track. Just to fast to provide fun and safe racing. Then add really weak race director and judges. Under normal circumstances it would be nothing to look at. But two amazing drivers made it worth to remember. Both made mistakes, but both also made outstanding performances. Hamilton had some more luck this time, maybe experience give you luck.

Hamilton knows how dirty Max is, so imagine what was going through his head when he wasn't notified that Max was told to give up P1 and he found himself approaching Max driving slowly in the middle of the track. He had no idea what Max was doing and if Hamilton would've attempted to fly pass Max at high speed, who's to say Max wouldn't have veered into his path to cause a DNF scenario? So of course Ham approached Max slowly and cautiously because Max cannot be trusted. Sure enough, as Hamilton got closer Max grew more frustrated that Ham wouldn't pass him before the DRS line so he weaved and brake checked. Seriously, a brake check!? That makes no logical sense as he knows an investigation into incident would clearly show his application of the brakes. But Max was acting on emotion, no logic, and that's why he's so insanely dangerous out there. He really should have been DQ'd. |

Max is an undoubted talent and he has amazing raw pace but he isn't making silly fundamental mistakes in his approach to too many situations and that is not the way to become a world champion. That video posted earlier is a prime example, why even challenge the drive who is trying to unlap himself, he has far more to lose its just poor judgment, but his judgment hasn't improved much, a little yes but not enough. The team have a part to play in this with the pressure and rhetoric they are feeding him but his fans can sometimes have the biggest blinkers on that I've seen in 20+ years of watching the sport. Take Brazil, he clearly drove Hamilton off the circuit to try and keep the place, for me the FIA should have clearly stated this was wrong as they keep telling us the edge of the track is the edge of the track, but is it only when it suits them. So this bias that is apparently only towards Lewis is rubbish. And this is part of the problem, the stewards and Michael Massi seem to change what is right and wrong like the wind. I can entirely see that the F1 drivers don't know what they can and can't do as it seems to change at each race to suit each situation and with a sport that is on such fine margins thats plain wrong. |
