In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Fecking brat, he is worse than Stroll even.Yuji Ide and Alex Yoong say hello.
the latter was 2 seconds slower than Webber in a car that was 2-3 seconds a lap slower than the Ferrari
No surprise that Mazepin senior threatened to pull his funding if they didnt swap Mick and Nikita's cars, because they were paranoid Mick had been given the better parts.
i can't believe they essentially dedicated a whole episode of DTS to a mazespin redemption plot. That Russia GP episode was fecking HILARIOUS, especially the radio message at the end that made it sound like mazespin clawed his way up the field.
I love DTS, but wow, the amount of show-induced narratives, outright cringe inducing "breakfast chats" and careful framing of comments needs to be refreshed. I want behind the scenes, not a scripted-PR show.

There was enough material just from the title fight to create two full seasons , instead they put that in the last two episodes and the rest was about teams nobody cares about.i can't believe they essentially dedicated a whole episode of DTS to a mazespin redemption plot.

why focus on the best title fight in a generation when you can cut to Bottas et.al sitting with his performance coach and awkwardly talking about some topic the director wants for footage?
Multiple times in the series they seemingly shot scenes where it came across as "ok the director needs you to discuss this topic, can we set up a fake breakfast scene / behind a set of tyres, get you to act it out for the camera."
The breakfast scenes and that weird Russell-Toto behind the shed/tyre
moment were so bizarre.I feel the same. Also if red bull run away with it it's max on his own, perez is nowhere near him, whereas ferrari and Mercedes have two really good drivers so there would at least be an inter team title fight.
Ideally like you say all 3 involved.
You're probably right, though Perez isn't necessarily a bad driver. He did well at Racing Point and has had a few good drives in the Red Bull as well. Red Bull and Max have both said they've made the car more stable at the rear for this year so less tailored towards Max's driving style and easier to drive for most drivers. They felt that with last year's car they went down a development path that benefitted Max but hurt the general performance of the car and made it harder to drive. Also this year it's a brand new car which Perez will have helped develop so it'll probably suit him better. I think there's a good chance Perez will do better this year but we'll see.
Another season like 2010 could be on the cards. The races weren't anything special, but the title was a proper back and forth between several drivers.
Oh I am not saying he is a bad driver at all. He's definitely good but the gap between him and max is bigger than the gap between sainz and le clerc and I suspect Lewis and George.
So if any team runs away with it, red bull being that team would create the worst spectacle.
Love itThey did find that Mazepin's chassis was heavier than Micks, his Dad even paid for a new one for the Belgian GP and results improved after it. Haas only made one chassis for the start of the 2021 season.

I'll be happy with anyone leading as long as it's not Mercedes. Bored with their dominance and constant downplaying.
That said I don't believe for one second that atleast one of them won't be in the front row next week.

You missed whining on the radio to the stewards!
They need to limit that unless it's for safety reasons, just watched drive to survive and the stewards were definitely influenced by the whining. It should be like football where team managers can be given a yellow or red card if they keep doing it
when the pumpernickel doesn't snap and lewis thinks the car is a shitbox
He really didn't have much luck with those pumpernickels
what even is a pumpernickelFor next years DTS I really want to see less of Horner, it's like he signed a multi year exclusivity deal. Someone should tell him it was a different Toto that sang 'it's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.'
Also I don't need Will Buxton giving me exposition every 5 seconds about how drivers don't like to be beaten by their team mates or how you might lose your seat if you don't score a single point all season. Thank you I never would have worked that out for myself.
I somewhat enjoyed this season, but the fly on the wall aspect is completely gone and replaced by carefully choreographed scenes. That one scene alone of Christian and Geri walking, one minute the camera is behind them and the next minute it's a few feet in front but the conversation flows to the next sentence so you know they stopped it mid take to reset the shot up again from a new angle and 'ok 3...2...1... action', it's not as honest anymore with flowing conversation being captured. I'd rather see 240p shaky cam footage of something raw and real.

Excited for the season. Disappointed to hear Hamilton complaining that his car isn't there yet. Please get it done you dunderheads and give him a car to compete at least. Would be nice if we can get a better fight from start to finish.
Also, would be hilarious if the car is indeed faster and Hamilton takes the chequered flag singing tralalala.

I want a multi driver multi team fight to the last race, with some different teams in the mix eg McLaren/ Ferrari even a wildcard like Williams
I'd like DTS to follow a driver over a GP race weekend - what do they do, what meetings take place, how do they deal with waiting around for the race to start etc

Is anyone else immature enough as me to giggle that when Toto said “kiss” in (I presume) Austrian in the 9/10th episode, it sounded like “pussy”

Haven't quite gotten up there but undoubtedly I'm immature enough - every time Leclerc says "feck" angrily after something bad has happened I think it's hilarious.
A subtle word change in an article of the FIA's sporting regulations will avoid a repeat in the future of the controversy that marred F1's 2021 title decider in Abu Dhabi.
Earlier this year, F1's sporting regs featured a slight change to the sport's Safety Car procedure on the back of last year's botched finale.
In a bid to speed up a race's restart process, the FIA updated Article 55.13 of F1's Sporting Regulations, stating that the Safety Car will no longer need to wait until the last lapped car has passed the leader to withdraw and return to the pits, a change that should ensure a quicker restart process in the future.
But the FIA has now added another tweak to Article 55.13 that also governs how backmarkers are allowed to unlap themselves.
The change involves replacing in the following paragraph the word "any" with "all".
"If the clerk of the course considers it safe to do so, and the message ‘lapped cars may now overtake’ has been sent to all competitors using the official messaging system, all cars that have been lapped by the leader will be required to pass the cars on the lead lap and the safety car."
Previously, the presence of the word "any" in the article is what allowed former FIA race director Michael Masi to permit only those cars positioned between race leader Lewis Hamilton and second placed driver Max Verstappen to unlap themselves in Abu Dhabi, a decision that opened the floodgates to the controversy that led to Masi's ousting from the FIA.
Including the word "all" in lieu of "any" now takes away any ambiguous interpretation of the article by the race director and will avoid a repeat in the future of last December's embroilment.

Basically admitting they fecked up and Hamilton was robbed. Even due to the last bit not being changed, "the following lap". So the rules weren't even remotely followed.
Absolute shit show.
Absolute shit show.
Rather admitting there was enough ambiguity for what happened to have not been strictly against the rules. Otherwise it wouldnt need rewording.
Yeah I think I agree with this rather than the Lewis was robbed angle, but I dont want the arguments starting again, my last comment about last season.
Its race week, looking forward to it.
This is just housekeeping and closing off potential to misinterpret rules and regs. I think the fact they've had to let go of Michael Masi is the biggest shame, not who won or lost on the day or for the championship, who was robbed or not, but at the end of the day it has brought up an issue being exposed to what you could call undue pressure from both team bosses regardless of who got their way on this occasion, maybe out of many others. A nice guy who was very respected has lost his job. Yup, last word.
While you're right that there needs to be a buffer between the teams and the race director, Masi had to go because he'd been a disaster for most of the season even if Latifi hadn't crashed. The debacle in Abu Dhabi was just the icing on a multi storey cake.
As for the rewording, while the spirit of the rules was clear before, it's sensible to make sure the wording of the rules is watertight to ward off "creative" interpretations.
In fairness to the FIA their response to all of this has gone a long way to restoring sporting credibility, which was in the gutter.
Everyone mentions this Spirit of the Rules/Regs like it's written in stone somewhere, maybe on the backend of Moses Ten Commandments, but, try looking for it. The last race of the year proved that where there's wriggle room that makes the game fairer for one, but not the other..they'll take it thank you very much. No, let's not return to last season.
The thing with any referee is that they will over a season make decisions that don't favour you, and some that do, we say quite often, well it evens out over the race or the season, but as has been said, and by you Masi needed a buffer, and not just between him and Toto and Horner. He is a nice guy, he could have done with some help and sometimes we see a guy at work who makes the odd error and we say, 'let's give him some coaching, maybe a bit of training, he's worth it overall'. That could have been the case.
No, the Spirit of the Regs was heard more often and carried more weight before F1 became so professional, so expensive, so technical, probably back in Jack Brabham's day
This.
Ambiguity that was exploited and abused by Masi who then decided the result, yes.

Maybe it was editing or maybe it's just him but George Russell comes across as a complete twat.
Thanks all
