Yeah keep clutching at straws, hope you enjoyed your old Sham being beaten by a consistently average Russell in the same car whilst the team favouring your fraud. I mean they did everything they could today for Sham to beat Russell without officially team ordering like a bad strategy call for Russell to start off with, then a botched Pitstop conveniently longed 5sec so Sham could get Russell at the stop and then release Russell into the path of a car in the pits knowing that was likely going to cost him a 5 sec penalty but yet in the end it was pointless, karma bit them in the a***. Please take it in, RUSSELL BEAT SHAMILTON OVER A SEASON, with Shamilton having no pole, no win, nothing. Case closed.

Simon Lazenby only wants to present sensation stories and be the typical media vulture. Nothing else. He should not be presenting any sport but instead, news.

David Croft has moved from the impartial middle to very strong pro-British galore. He's too partisan for a World Feed. Few examples from this races: after Sainz was cleared from forcing Hamilton off track, he thought Hamilton could keep the place he stole, even after MB said twice Hamilton should give it back now that Sainz was cleared of wrongdoing. Then there was the unsafe release incident with Russell, where Kravitz said on air "I don't like the look of that from George's point of view, that's an unsafe release". Croft then asked MB "Do you agree with Ted, Martin?" but the tone was one where he was begging for some insights why no penalty should be warranted. MB didn't bite and quickly buried that one with a "Yes, I do", not even allowing Croft to finish his sentence properly.

Lewis is the most petulant driver on the grid, they just don't play his radio and paint him as a villain. He absolutely loves running people wide and then playing the victim too. Max has actually calmed down 10000000000x the past 2 seasons and is more focussed it seems.

I think if anything we need more radio. Let's the drivers talk to the other drivers, Christian can only talk to Toto, Crofty can only talk to a machine that repeats everything he is saying on a 0.5 second delay. Broadcast all of it in real time.

It's be interesting but Ferrari would be even more hosed trying to communicate a strategy to their driver if they could only use the board.

Trying to pick out a message blasting past the pit wall at 300kph would be a nightmare

Serious question, do they even still use the pit boards? I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw one, but they again I don't really pay attention or look for them.

The problem is max calming down 100000000000x means he is still the most petulant piece of poo poo fuckhead who can’t even help his teammate that sacrificed everything for him on the grid by like 10000x. Lewis moaning is annoying, but also that was dramatically reduced this year. Max had them change the entire rules because they didn’t want to keep penalizing or being criticized for not penalizing him divebombing the inside from a mile back on everyone.

I think how cool a racecar driver can sound whining is directly proportional to whether you think they are succeeding/failing because of the car or whether the car is succeeding/failing because of them.

I feel like Alonso can whine about anything and I assume he is correct because I assume his teams rely on his performances to flatter their machinery.

YMMV with Lewis and Max as both guys have definitely shown an ability to outperform their vehicle, but both have spent the bulk of their careers in a title contending car.

quote:

China's zero-Covid policy has led F1 to conclude the race cannot go ahead.

The key sticking point is that F1 staff would not be given exemptions from quarantine requirements in the event of suffering a Covid-19 infection.

F1 feels that it cannot ask teams to go to the country for the race in Shanghai with the risk that staff could be detained for days if they caught coronavirus.

China's latest rules demand that anyone found with Covid-19 must spend five days at an isolation centre plus three days isolation at home.

F1 chairman and chief executive officer Stefano Domenicali has not yet officially called off the race, but the decision is considered an inevitability.

F1 declined to comment on the situation.

The sport is not expected to seek to replace China with another race, so the calendar will be cut to 23 races

Ferrari and Red Bull were both robbed by delaying the Ground Effects cars for another season, apparently due to a deadly virus.
2021 Abu Dhabi should never have existed!
yet Wolff and Hamilton just won't shut up like it was planned for them to get the 8th all along. Certainly the way Wolff started his appeals to the race director earlier in the race and the way a blind eye was turned to Hamilton gaining an advantage by cutting a corner that he can't race wheel to wheel in. With hindsight Mercedes acted like they were on borrowed time knowing full well their massive advantage was due to end.
They've now had the rules changed in 3 recent seasons which saw other teams lose an advantage (tires in 2018) yet were allowed to keep their big DAS advantage.

And now here they are celebrating their rival getting handicapped after their lobbying which involved lies and internal leaks.
This is far worse than spygate, where no one actually spied.
