MUFC Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Was it last season or the season before where Max said they are killing racing, over the radio after getting a penalty? He has a point.

He has a point. He has. New viewers will find this as a snowflake move. It's called racing so how about letting the guys race.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted June 9, 2019 Subscriber Posted June 9, 2019 If this was the other way round would people be saying it's killing racing? No... it would be justice because Lewis didn't win. Lewis did force him into a mistake. And like so many times last year, Seb made a mistake.

I don't mind Lewis at all, and as I've mentioned before, this is the first year I've watched F1. But if that's a penalty, this sport is for pussies. No contact but a 5 second penalty? Christ all mighty, I bet the legends are disgusted.
MUFC Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Am a Lewis fan but this penalty is a kick in the teeth for F1.

Maybe that's the new info they have? All a bit of speculation though so we'll just wait and see. Bit of a stretch, though.

If this proves true, FIA might just say its not about throttle but the fact that he steered across onto the racing line and blocked Lewis deliberately. Bet Vettel is really fuming still, hope he doesn't say something which gets him in trouble.

Regardless of what opinion you have, Vettel has made yet another mistake and doing so has opened himself up to this. I've no sympathy really as you wouldn't see Lewis throwing it onto the grass. no penalty.
nudge Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 I don't think you can dispute the fact that the line between what is permitted and what isn't has become increasingly blurred over the years through a combination of different interpretations and an inconsistent application of the written rules and regulations; you know that it's an actual concern if drivers and stewards have regular meetings to try to adopt a more lenient stance on racing incidents. It's understandable that everyone wants it to be safe and fair, but at the same time everyone also wants to be allowed to race hard and have more on track action; it's obvious that the golden middle has to found somewhere. For my personal liking, F1 has become way too soft and sterile in recent years - incidents like the one yesterday only confirm that for me and I honestly think anally over-analysed decisions like that simply ruin racing; both for the drivers and the spectators. I must also say that the two sets of fans (Hamilton/Vettel or Mercedes/Ferrari if you wish) and the exchanges between them on the forums and social media have also become unbearable. Not so much the likes of Twitter and Facebook where it's not that surprising, but even the actual dedicated niche forums are being ruined by the fanboys/girls of both sides posting drivel they call "banter". It's tiresome.

God is Haaland Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 It would be nice if certain individuals acted like adults and refrained from making accusations and using insults. Thank you!
