Re: Formula1
I want to see the rules enforced properly and in such a way that it leaves no doubt whatsoever that any team found guilty of breaking the rules will be severely punished. None of this "here, have a fine and a slapped wrist" nonsense that, as you rightly point out, could lead to teams that can afford the fine, simply breaking the rules.aaronhammer wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 11:56 am
I really hope Red Bull get shafted! If it gives Lewis the title last year he deserved in the process - even better!
On your point about Lewis...I'm sure he wouldn't want to win the title retrospectively in such a manner, although I'm also sure he'll take it if it happens. Some may deem it to be the right result that Lewis is handed a title, given the furore over how last season ended...but still, winning it on the track would have been the best way and I'm sure, in the mind of a competitor like Lewis, the only proper way.
Interesting to see what Red Bull do in qualifying today. Do they try and mitigate circumstances somewhat by "having a bad day" or do they just go for it?

Re: Formula1
Leclerc, Sainz, Hamilton top three...Max in 8th, told to box the car on his final flying lap before he could finish it. He also has Perez, Alonso, Norris and Gasly ahead of him on the grid. Tough ask to get on the podium from 8th at this track, nevermind win the race.

Perez, Gasly and his bestie Alonso will move aside for him so only Norris really in the way.simon hammer wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 3:10 pm Leclerc, Sainz, Hamilton top three...Max in 8th, told to box the car on his final flying lap before he could finish it.

Re: Formula1
The financial doping from last year will have allowed them an unfair advantage going into this year and next season too. I can't imagine that they overspent last year and didn't this year either.

Re: Formula1
I can't see Alonso moving aside for anyone. Odds on Ferrari actually getting their car to the finish line when starting on pole? This might be as good a chance as Hamilton is likely to get to claim a win for this season, even if it is Singapore.

Re: Formula1
He's moved out of the way of Max on a number of occasions already, those two need to get a room. Just listen to them in the press.

Re: Formula1
Been in Mexico two weeks and have been out of touch with news. Can someone give me a breakdown on the latest please as I don’t wish to trawl through Reddit as I would rather stick pins in my eyes.
Is this apparent red bull exceeding cost cap going to amount to anything? Or are we still currently waiting for more news.
Just arrived back and looks like we got a tasty grid for the race today.

Re: Formula1
WE are waiting but there are strong rumours of a major breach from RB (and a minor one from AM) . Punishments range from a finanical one to DQ from both the championships last year (and a lot in-between). Other TPs are pushing for action for this year as the breach would benefit the current car (and beyond).. It is going to get messy either way with RB currently screaming innocence and trying to make this about people with 'illegal' leaks and hinting at legal action
Wednesday is supposed to be the next significant day.

Re: Formula1
I'd wager the most we'll see is some sort of fine and points deduction that doesn't take either this year's or last year's drivers championship away from Verstappen.

Re: Formula1
And red bull to be mysteriously bad next year (Ferrari -‘ not cheating, cheating engine style) whilst the details of the breach remain private.
Reports are RB are $10 million over, well in to ‘major’ breach.

Re: Formula1
Thanks for updates.
Just ****ed over to F1 to see it’s hammering down, so I presume we will see a delay to the start.

Re: Formula1
If they start on the inters then it just reaffirms the joke to have delayed it by so long.

Re: Formula1
Might as well get rid of the wets and save on transportation, 18 of the best drivers (plus stroll and Latifi) in the world and we have to wait for it to dry up.

Re: Formula1
Looks like the line being trotted out is "it's really slippy on track" with the emphasis being put on the word "slippy" and trying to shoe horn it in at every opportunity.
Haven't seen anyone fall over yet which generally happens on a slippy surface.
It's almost like someone is trying to justify it.
