You were lucky Middy, oh sorry Fagged I thought you said something elseI played rugby union at my grammar school in the sixties, and broke two of my teeth, still got the remnants . Never got fagged though
2 teeth? is that all.i broke my femur and an opposing player's nose. all on the first game @ secondary school, aged 11.I played rugby union at my grammar school in the sixties, and broke two of my teeth, still got the remnants . Never got fagged though
Enjoy silverstone Midwest hopefully this weather picks up a bit for you.
Strangely, we haven't had any recent threads on F1.We did enjoy ourselves, but it was very expensive. I had a £9 cheese burger, only 'cos I couldn't be arsed to wait in the twenty minute queue for the £5 ones!
Went there with general admission tickets, but decided to upgrade to grandstand tickets for the race Sunday ; note you can only see the sky with GA.
If you like motor sport - I know some crazy guys don't - next year might be worth a visit before it ends.
Hamilton got mugged by Michael MasiStrangely, we haven't had any recent threads on F1.
Fast forward 4 years, what the hell went on there - Abu Dhabi 2021
Massi owed Max one fair enough, he could of given Max a fair crack at Hamilton with a few laps to go, handing him the title is a bit much thoughIf Hamilton wanted reds, there was nothing preventing him stopping for them. He would have been behind Max on new tyres, with Max on worn ones. The reverse of what happened.
Danger was that the race would finish behind the safety car, and Lewis would have thrown away the win.
Its normal for lapped cars to be allowed to overtake the safety car and unlap themselves, and this is what happened. In order to save time, and allow one racing lap, just the ones relevant to the title panel did so. The ones that didn't overtake were running 12th position downwards, so would all have had no chance of moving up to even one point in the one remaining lap.
Unusual and controversial, maybe, but Massi owed Max one after the ridiculous first lap decision.
Agreed it was a late crash, but why after Max put on New tyres did they not Red flag it and give them both an equal chance at the win, after all they went into the final race of the season on exactly the same points, why did they feel the need to hand the title to Max (that was the only possible outcome with the decision they made)Unfortunately, Latifi left it a bit late to bin it. No one could do anything about that.
The bit your missing... is that it looks like the rules were 'changed' to facilitate a Verstappen win.. if Hamilton had stopped for fresh soft tyres, it's likely that the race would have finished 'normally' with the safety car leading the way as Verstappen won. Mercedes were damned if they stopped and damned if they didn't. That's the whole basis of the protest that Mercedes raised... and maybe the appeal and maybe the tribunal.A red flag would have been a more satisfactory way of deciding the title, but Latifi's shunt was hardly of the severity that would need a stoppage.
They both had the chance to restart line astern on reds if they wanted. Max rolled the dice, Lewis didn't.
Corrected that for you, the rules do state all lapped cars can unlap themselves not just a selected fewIf Hamilton wanted reds, there was nothing preventing him stopping for them. He would have been behind Max on new tyres, with Max on worn ones. The reverse of what happened.

A VSC would have been more appropriate to maintain the race positioningA red flag would have been a more satisfactory way of deciding the title, but Latifi's shunt was hardly of the severity that would need a stoppage.
