To be fair to him, he just proposed it and did not insist when he saw that everyone was against it.
He did not impose it as Liberty Media have done with Sprint Qualifying for example.

@rebelangelfloyd

I cannot even imagine the uproar if Spa was last…

Mick?

@freelittlebirds

I am not advocating about anything. I am only arguing on whether there is a good legal basis for for an appeal as the article suggests. I only jumped in because you said that Verstappen was not […]

@freelittlebirds

How is having an illegal car comparable to the race director making a bad call? Both Red Bull cars would definitely be disqualified if the cars were illegal.
Also what does being aware of the […]

@freelittlebirds

Yes, but the question here is not whether there was an unfair advantage given to Max, but if the race result can be overturned legally. From a legal standpoint Verstappen and Red Bull did […]

@freelittlebirds

Soccer is no different to F1 in this. For example one could say that not penalizing Hamilton for leaving the track and gaining an advantage in turn 1 was unfair. It doesn’t matter, though, as […]

@andyfromsandy

I agree with your points. I did not phrase what I meant correctly. What I was trying to say was that he does not deserve the online abuse that he gets. FIA put him in this place and did not […]

@freelittlebirds

You cannot penalize a competitor just because the race director made a mistake.
The only thing that can be done is to either accept the result as it is or cancel the event.

Actually there […]

@freelittlebirds

I’ve never heard of any case where a team lost a victory in court just because a penalty was unfairly awarded. Do you know of any such examples?

@freelittlebirds

The point is that from a legal point of view Verstappen did nothing wrong. None of the drivers did anything wrong as all of them followed what the race director said.
You cannot single out the […]

@freelittlebirds

Why do you single out Verstappen as the one that “wasn’t legally racing in accordance with the Sporting Regulations due to the infractions caused by race direction”?

All drivers were racing […]

Massi made a mistake, but I think that he does not deserve all the criticism that he receives. His job is not easy and Wolff and Horner have been allowed to put too much pressure on him.
In my opinion FIA should […]

It is so nice to see so many people supporting Sainz…

So Norris is OK with changing tires behind a SC to get an advantage over the other cars, but not OK with changing tires in a red flag situation.

SC and red flags neutralize the race for safety reasons and there […]

I think that the practice of asking a driver to give position is not correct. We have seen today that there are circumstances where it is not safe.

Also this offer to Red Bull to give grid position at the […]

Well it seems that I won’t be watching F1 next year.
It is a pity that they turned the pinacle of motorsport into a farce.

@gardenfella72

I agree that drivers need to take notice of the flags. What I am saying, though, is that drivers have been missing them so often that it cannot be because of incompetence. The reasons why they […]

@f1osaurus

The marshal did everything correctly. A car is stopped in front of him so what else could he do?

My point is that race control should have disabled DRS again and they should have displayed the […]
