2021 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Recent "selfie" that someone else took... you must be really olde...

 

indeed !!!

 

The FIA need to get hollywood cinematographers to set up camera angles. This is atrocious...

 

RB is worried about Mercs DRS flex?

 

I noticed that happening on Perez’s car last weekend during FP too.

 

The precedent was set when Lewis punted Max off at Silverstone this year. Until Max punts Lewis off the track and out of a race, and finishing first, he still owes Lewis some payback.

RedBull owes Mercedes some payback for when Bottas took out both RedBulls in turn one at the next race. One has to wonder if he had team orders to punt the RedBull cars out of that race to let Lewis get back into the championship race?

Screw Mercedes for those underhanded tactics!

I guess everybody can calm down now

 

Not so fast lol. RB know Mercedes are doing something with the main blade on the rear wing. I feel a formal investigation dropping soon.

 

Oh, it’s only getting started!

 

Every team uses tactics. It's when they get caught it's an issue

 

F1 has always been a sport where, "if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying hard enough." Sometimes it's just finding loopholes in the rules, sometimes it's bending them as far as they can until the FIA says enough is enough and occasionally the teams attempt to see how long they can slip under the radar with blatant violations. None of the teams are innocent, it's just part of the sport and I think it just adds to the drama and is part of what makes it exciting to follow.

 

I agree but when RB complains about lets say a wing issue and they have the same violation that should be extra fines...lol

 

I like that idea. Complain and in return for the requested investigation your cars also get some highly detailed scrutineering of whatever they feel like looking at. Be damn sure you are squeaky clean before complaining.

 

Oh no, it's just getting good. Vettell is claiming FIA toggled the Gasly incident yellows so Verstappen could finish his final lap. FIA is investigating Verstappen for ignoring double yellows for the same incident. Toto is still complaining about his review being rejected. Masi is probably on suicide watch. And the fanbois and conspiracy morons are all throwing tantrums claiming that whoever wins the championship this year will be illegitimate unless it's their favorite driver.

 

Last part is my favorite.. “illegitimate unless it's their favorite driver.”

 

Well that was a crap start followed by a weak uninspired drive by Bottas early in the race. I suspect that if he had shown some aggression and pace to claw through the field he wouldn't have ended up on the one stop strategy that resulted in a tire failure and retirement. But after the start failure maybe not.

 

Horner had to see the principal today...

"Any Misconduct towards Officials or Member of the Staff of the FIA"

 

Just let them race “for crying out loud “

 

Yea is was a snoozer of a race
