F1 2021 Season

Racing is allowed, deliberately taking out your competitor and injuring him is not. But I guess some bloke on the internet knows this better than the FIA stewards and most non-biased commentators in the F1-world.

:lol: Get a grip.

If Hamilton “took out his opponent” the FIA wouldn’t just be giving a 10 second penalty. So let’s not pretend the FIA’s penalty decision in any way validates your brain dead opinion.

Which non biased commentators did you have in mind? The stewards have been a disgrace for years.
 
That's barely a slap on the wrist for Lewis. Takes out the championship leader and gets a soft penalty.

Should be a stop and go at very least, FIA sat on the fence here.

Yeah, it's quite lenient considering the circumstances. Should still get on the podium from here because that car is an animal. But yeah, does seem like they sat on the fence slightly.
 
James Peril = Pierre Wache. Makes all the sense now.
 
eh? lewis backs out at the last moment as he sees max turning in. You just ignore them being alongside 1 second before?

some of you guys I swear :lol:

They didn’t touch when they were side by side though so why is that relevant? From what I can gather most experts are arguing that the cause of the crash is that neither driver backed out, yet you’re arguing that’s exactly what Lewis did.
 
Why would he do it on purpose, surely there'd be a risk in damaging his own car and obvious health risks. I know your not but anyone claim it was needs word with themselves.
It has happened before. Again not saying that was the case here. But drivers have taken overs out of races before on purpose. Dont ask me why they would do that, who knows.
 
:lol: deluded.

Norris Perez and Russell all got punished for lesser mistakes, causing collisions that entailed no danger. Lewis' put Verstappen's life at risk with a worse driving error and only gets a 10 second penalty.

If anything Lewis got off ridiculously lightly for that, he's the protected one.

Frankly though I didn’t think any of those penalties in Austria were right. Except maybe one.

And your dramatism is ridiculous. Every time every driver makes an overtake unless it’s on a straight and one car is faster than the other, there is always risk. As much as you could argue Lewis was overly aggressive going in there, Verstappen could have backed out too and given him more than a split second turn out. But neither backed out. Why? Because they are racers. This is racing.

I’m ok with Hamilton receiving a penalty. He wasn’t malicious or deliberate but he did cause the accident. But your bullshit idea that he was reckless and out Max’s life at risk is just silly.
 
Looks like the Merc is struggling too, seems like they found a bit of one lap pace but at the expense of shredding tyres.
 
So why don’t we stop the race until Max can get a new car? Stupid that they guy that takes him out benefits it… In the end I guess Hill and Schumi did nothing wrong then. Just “race incident”

Are you proposing potentially postponing the race and sending everyone home every time there is a crash?

He tried to back out. He braked early. Verstappen also did too. He stopped turning in for a split second. Did either back out fully? Of course not. They are competitive racers. They want to win. They both wanted to give each other the smallest possible amount of space. It went wrong. It didn’t for all the previous corners. But this is what happens when it’s racing at high speeds.

I’m fine with Hamilton’s penalty though. He caused the accident. But let’s not pretend he was reckless.

Yeah, no. Obviously there are different levels of risk. Quite basic really. When Norris 'pushed' Perez off the track at Austria there was no danger to Perez's life. When you try and stick it up the inside of a 170mph corner while off the racing line and half a car length behind, you are putting the other driver at significant risk.

Verstappen couldn't and shouldn't back out, he left space and followed the racing line and was ahead.
 
Regardless of how you see it, the upshot is that Hamilton's only championship contender is now out of the race and he'll he gain ground as a result. Fortunate yet again.

And if you think he and Toto wouldn't have spat the dummy out if the tables were turned then give your head a wobble.

Off course they would. Just like if those wanting Lewis banned would be saying it was a racing incident. Everyone's a hypocrite in this situation.

Was Max not racing aggressively also? Max could have equally braked but risked taking a line that was risky and lost

I think sometimes people get so caught up on hating Hamilton their logic goes out the window,

You say sometimes, but what you mean is "every second of the day".

Another one with the emojis I see, pathetic, at least there’s a coherant sentence as well. The 10 seconds are given because this is Silverstone and because Hamilton/Toto have the political power, we all know this. Hamilton isn’t going to kamikaze into Verstappen, but he knows 100% where Verstappen is going and he doesn’t back off as he should. Verstappen has the right to stay in his place given he’s ahead, hence he is taken out - this is never a place to do this move - never. I’m braindead!? I’m not going to be offended by some doofus on the internet, so let’s just be happy Verstappen isn’t exactly what you described, look at his car and the speed involved.
 
If everyone sticks to the racing line then there could literally be no overtaking, they'd just follow each other round from start to finish.
