Glad to know someone else feels similarly and I am not abnormal although we definitely are 'outsiders.'TNTHead wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 20:12Schuttelberg, you were already long time on the 'nice to read' commenters, but in this post you say it exactly as I see it.Schuttelberg wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 19:10
I am not neutral anymore and it suits my argument to say Mercedes are faster but you know? I'm not a driver and even if I were, I don't think I'd get a chance to drive both those machines. I doubt anyone can. All I know is that Max would be leading the championship in either car this year with luck being equal because he has not made any race ending mistakes and been vastly unfortunate. But hey? The media is all British as are most forums and the sport, so let's just ignore all that.
Lewis is great. Max is just lucky driving a great car. Let that be the narrative.
And it is even more than an opinion.
I am by no means neutral but enjoy posters who, although have their preferences can still have some objectivity.
Yes, that is what 2 points gained means. Lewis will go from 15 to 18, max from 1 to 2. 2 points gained.
as long as you stop when you still have a liter of fuel, there isn't a real problem. Maybe a reprimande for not returning to the pit.

The fans...?Schuttelberg wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 20:51Fact that we are discussing DQ for a few litres of fuel or driving past the pits or wearing t-shirts on an Aston Martin, a Williams and an Alpine driver who took his maiden win and not how a RBR will take a 10 place grid drop for a bloke running into him and getting a 5 place grid drop should echo what is broken in this sport!

So, we should change the rules to "Max can not be punished for anything and is outside the rules"Schuttelberg wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 20:51Fact that we are discussing DQ for a few litres of fuel or driving past the pits or wearing t-shirts on an Aston Martin, a Williams and an Alpine driver who took his maiden win and not how a RBR will take a 10 place grid drop for a bloke running into him and getting a 5 place grid drop should echo what is broken in this sport!
Vettel had 0,3 indeed. that's a DSQ normally. No info (at least that I know) how much fuel was in Russell's car.
That's a good pointf1jcw wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 20:55So, we should change the rules to "Max can not be punished for anything and is outside the rules"Schuttelberg wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 20:51Fact that we are discussing DQ for a few litres of fuel or driving past the pits or wearing t-shirts on an Aston Martin, a Williams and an Alpine driver who took his maiden win and not how a RBR will take a 10 place grid drop for a bloke running into him and getting a 5 place grid drop should echo what is broken in this sport!
It’s like red flag car repair.
When it is Lewis doing it, people want the rules changed.
Max car fixed today, not a whimper
