M4X fan, UK needs a strong society, listens to others as not to be in an echo chamber. Pro-EU. Pro-Mixed Economy. Pro-PR. China is a danger to us all.
About time.
You could almost predict the drivers that were going to get penalties the weekend JH was on duty.

He has been told that with global climate change that natural resources in Greenland will be easier and cheaper to exploit.
It's the large Primary sector companies that are calling for this - follow the money...

Vers kept to the rules.
Norris didn't keep to the rules.

Penalty

Agreed.
Let's move on.

Utter crap.

If you say that Max reported Lando because of the anger, how do you explain Lewis reporting on Oscar P going into the pits at a weird speed/angle?
It's normal racing to report everything about everyone.

This report stinks of British exceptionalism through and through.

Do not conflate the two.

Why even ask the question?

Pointless.
December 2, 2024 at 12:27 PM
And the driver missing the flags?

Black and white argument?

Yes/No.
December 2, 2024 at 12:25 PM
It's now a strawman argument but I'll carry on.

Black and white thinking asks:
Is the mirror a danger?
And
Are the yellow flags flying?

Yes/No
Yes/No

FIA failed their part,
Driver failed his part.

Do not conflate the two.

Yes, FIA measurement and reporting equipment needs to be consistent.
However if no sensor reading is noted then it cannot be penalised.
Where it is recorded, penalty.

That is outside the issue we are discussing.

Equality must be seen across the grid, some fans see their set of drivers immune from penalty, ie; two have broken start rules with marshalls/car/driver still on track - only been fined. A breach of safety related rules.

We all need to acknowledge the rules & penalties are for all.

No bitching.

IF my mum had balls she would be my dad.

Max Verstappen 2024.

Ifs are a pointless conjecture, don't you agree especially two in series.

We do not want to go down the road of mitigation and teams arguing their corner again.

2021 should teach everyone that team managers shouting at race officials doesn't lead to results every one can respect and be happy with.

Simple rules, simple penalties equals understating by all.

The potentially most dangerous point was Brazil with the two/three car false start with car, driver & marshalls on track areas.

Two British drivers
That was only a fine.

We need to get all marshall safety related incidents with a stop & go. That includes double waved flags that drivers MUST obey.
December 1, 2024 at 10:49 PM
So you're saying the rule book should be recommendations instead of absolute penalties?

Race drivers would then be encouraged to ignore the rules & hope that the team could mitigate any penalty with arguments.

That would be chaos & lead to unfairness relying on the quality of your pit lawyers.
December 1, 2024 at 10:10 PM
But it exists and the professionals that are driving should be respectful of them 100%.

Lando simply couldn't know the whole situation and therefore added risk to the track.
December 1, 2024 at 9:37 PM
In the pen, Lando said he didn't know what the penalty was for.

Is he literally saying he didn't see the flag?

Is he literally saying he saw it and didn't care?

Either way he could not know the entirety of the situation and as such the flags MUST be respected.
December 1, 2024 at 9:35 PM
Wow he was really pissed with woody.
December 1, 2024 at 7:29 PM
Citation for that? Who reported that?
