MUFC 1,497 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Just now, nudge said: The point for fastest lap is only awarded if the driver finished in top 10! Fair play, but would you be hacked off if you lost the title due to somebody getting the quicker lap? You could use it to rack up points knowing you not going to make up places. Each to their own I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying it isn't as easy to misuse; if you're already in top 10 you're probably not going to risk it and pit for fresh tires with a few laps left as you might as well end without points that way.

Bottas pitting from 5th with five laps to go in order to get the fastest lap and take a point away from Vettel? I'm not a fan of the move, but it's more sensible than some of the mad suggestions we've had over the years. Bring back multiple tire suppliers, refueling and gravel pits.

So, you're thereby conceding that a) Ferrari's the better car b) Vettel's the better driver c) That Hamilton cant set the fastest lap on his own d) That Bottas is going to faster than Hamilton e) That Merc uses Bottas as a shield for their snowflake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite keen to see what he can do in F1 in a half decent car. I accept that pay-drivers are a part of motorsports and having access to money is an absolute must for any racing driver anyway but the whole story of Stroll and Prema in F3 kind of left a bad taste.

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted March 13, 2019 Administrator Share Posted March 13, 2019 Good article on Leclerc about promising his father he'll one day make it in to F1 and then go on to become a World Champion, and giving a bit of a white lie to his dad in 2017 who was sadly dying (and has now passed away) saying he'd already got a seat for the next season in F1. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/47523208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More US races would be crap, Austin is the worst one on the calendar IMO despite others liking it. Not sure about China either, I like Shanghai but really? Let's have some variety. Let's go to Portugal, Netherlands, Argentina etc. Not multiple races in one country. Not the variety but it comes down to tracks and overtaking. At least in Austin you can overtake, same with Malaysia. The shite ones for me are Australia, Monaco, Hungary, Singapore, Germany and Abu Dhabi.

If you go then fair enough, the scenery etc. Its a track the drivers really love due to it being really challenging, but if your at home, its a shite spectacle, like watching a Mourinho team.

It's true that Monaco race often turns into a procession but one of the main reasons why I love it is the fact that it shifts the focus extremely to the pure skills of the driver, particularly to the ability to drive at the limit with extreme precision and leaves zero margin for errors. The driving has to be very accurate and consistent, the track has a lot of elevation changes and corners and close walls etc. that makes it so unforgiving. Oh and the setting of course is absolutely beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it has its history and heritage in F1, but you are almost begging someone to take a risk and overtake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
