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.
Because it was obvious that it wouldn’t be cleaned up in time to get all lapped cars through and then another lap before the SC comes in, as per the rules.
And AFTER the track was cleared….
He probably would have cleared all of them but likely isn't in position to challenge at the two overtaking spots, which are in the 1st and 2nd sectors. Catching up to Hamilton in the last sector wouldn't have helped him any as there's no chance for an overtake there.
The lapped cars would have held Max back even if it was a couple of seconds that’s enough time for Lewis to shoot off.
They clearly took wrong decision cuz they lost. Unless if u think that if the order would be reversed FIA would not take same actions but I won't go into conspiracy theories... Also read my post above. Basically they shouldn't cover for Max on first pit stop and should race their own race and would probably have enough lead to change tires under SC and still be first.
You're just here for the drama
What a crock of shit. If he had "luck" this title would have been over two races ago.Listening to Toto whinge like a bitch on that last lap
"its not fair" get to feck you clown
we’d just hear masi saying things like “hey siri, what’s involved in and stop and go penalty?” or the sound of him quietly sobbing.
Well feck they actually have.
Wakey wakey F1 thread.
Let's have some handbags in here before the race please, need some pre-match thread build up in here.
Coming off a high on the MMA thread
Wakey wakey indeed
Why are Red Bull even there for the decision? It is an issue around why all cars didn't unlap themselves, it isn't a protest against them directly. They have as much business there than any other team... Paints the FIA and F1 in general in such a poor light.
I said a few pages ago maybe they’ll find away to give both the title. Maybe this is to negotiate something like that.
The conspiracy in me says if it didn't ever exist, then they knew it was dodgy as feck immediately at race end.
To be honest, posting it before the race started looked a bit dodgy?
I agree. I like that in rugby also.
Just means the social media guy made a mistake, and was told to remove it until the decision comes through. They don't invite the twitter guy to the hearing.
Haha, thanks for the smile.
There was a race, one was winning with 11 seconds. Some dude crashed, went meant they all had to drive safely during which the 2nd place guy decides to stop and get new tyres which means a few cars overtake him.
They clear the mess up and restart the race but, only for the sake of TV entertainment, the referee decides last minute to change the rules and allow the 2nd place guy to start not only back in second place, but in line with 1st place and on new tires. Then win.
That about sums it up. And no, I'm not joking that actually happened
Appreciated buddy.
That is insane.
How is someone allowed to get new tyres with 1 lap left!?
Protest not upheld
If Hamilton didn't have to immediately defend as soon as the race restarted he'd have been clear and in the distance regardless of how quick Max got past the lapped cars.
You are deliberately ignoring the actual issue though.
You also ignored my perfectly valid question earlier. You claim to be a racing fan and think everyone should have wanted that last lap, which I did too, but yet you don't want to answer. I'm not surprised, you can't because it shows your whole line of nonsense up.
Cheek of you to simply talk "favourite driver" when you can't even be straight with yourself on this.
Sky are saying its a NO, Mercedes appeal has been thrown out
this is going to be even worse if they reverse the resultGuilty as charged.You're just here for the drama
The right call under the rules was to not pit
The right rules if you had known they were gonna break-through rules was to pit
Essentially mercs mistake was not being telepathic
No surprise there. We're going to trial guys!
Everyone is allowed under a saftey car
As expected. CAS it is. I’m interested to see what reasons they give for it.
I think Mercedes may just forget about it for the good of the sport. Let's see.
That's cool but did anyone here see the new matrix unreal engine demo? It's fecking mind blowing!
If/when the timeline is reviewed by CAS it will be so damning.
Upheld clearly based on RB reaction.
Some of these football comparisons are ridiculous. Safety cars, red flags and other types of stoppages have been a part of F1 for years, for good reason, and unfortunately they always mean someone loses out. The FIA haven’t been great, I get that but it’s apple and oranges trying to compare football and F1.
Booooo. Plot twist, Masi was in charge of twitter duty today!
Suit up boys we’re going to court.
