Hotbottoms commented on the post, Did the FIA get Red Bull's penalty for 2021 budget cap breach right? 7 months ago
Exclusion from the 2021 championship was never going to be possible for political reasons, so I’m not disappointed that didn’t happen.
In my opinion the penalty should have been something that would have […]

@drmouse
Exactly. The catering argument is beyond ridiculous. Other teams might just as well claim the overspend was used on steering wheels and Red Bull wouldn’t have been able to race at all without the extra money. -

@f1frog
It is better this way because when there is a red flag at 74% that stops the race, some drivers may be out of position with pitstops and you can get an unfair result[…]
But the way the current rule is […] -

@sjaakfoo
That’s true and at least the FIA seems to be following its rules this time. But what does it tell about FIA that all the teams, drivers and experts seem to have understood the rule incorrectly? The rule […] -

So full points no matter how many laps the race had, as long as the race isn’t suspended at the three hour mark?
What a mess once again.

I think it is possible that Szafnauer’s account of the simulator meeting is correct, but that doesn’t change the big picture. It makes sense that a driver would respond cautiously to such a sudden announcement and […]

Perez should’ve received a 5-second penalty for gaining a lasting advantage
I disagree. Perez was ahead and Russel didn’t leave him any room. They would’ve collided (more badly) if Perez hadn’t left t […] -
Hotbottoms commented on the post, Another fan's experience of harassment last weekend – and why F1 must act 10 months, 3 weeks ago
I don’t understand why some people are so certain that nothing happened if there isn’t a police report about it. Do people generally report all the bad behavior to the police?
If someone shouted to me that I […]

I’m not a woman, so I can’t comment on what kind of behavior female fans have received over the years in Formula One. But regarding the behavior towards other fans in general:
Over the years I’ve visited F1 rac […]

@jerejj
F1 contracts are binding until they aren’t (like Kimi’s Ferrari contract wasn’t in 2009). F1 team may have to pay salary to a driver, who isn’t driving for them anymore, but that’s it.This is just […]

Hotbottoms commented on the post, 2022 Austrian Grand Prix driver ratings 10 months, 3 weeks ago
I don’t know how Russell’s 6 is justified considering how other drivers have been rated. Crashed in qualifying, couldn’t keep up with the Ferraris and the Red Bulls in the sprint race and then crashed again in the […]

Hotbottoms commented on the post, Alonso avoids penalty after driving a lap on loose wheel as FIA rules pit stop was 'normal' 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Even when he is returning to the pits he says it feels worse turning one way than the other, which indicates he still doesn’t know exactly what is wrong and is giving the team information.
That’s not what he t […] -

@dmw
I agree. Not to mention that it is very odd that Alonso just told his team that he had to box and didn’t report or even speculate any reason to his team. Surely he knew the wheel was loose, but he was clever […] -
Hotbottoms commented on the post, Leclerc, Verstappen and Hamilton given suspended €10,000 fines but keep results 10 months, 3 weeks ago
And at the same time we haven’t even seen the FIA communicate anything at all about fans misbehaving.
Hard to blame the stewards and the race director for that. What should they do, give stop-and-go penalties t […] -
Hotbottoms commented on the post, Leclerc, Verstappen and Hamilton given suspended €10,000 fines but keep results 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Suspended €10,000 fine is nothing. The stewards were forced to act somehow, because there was a clear violation of the rules and a media delegate reported it. But they have given a very lenient penalty, which h […]

I agree. The sprint would have been even more boring, if Hamilton had cleared the Haas drivers as easily as Perez!Gave it a 3. Would’ve been a 1 without the Hamilton-Schumacher battle.

I think stewards made the right decision and this sets a good precedent.
Teams are monitoring their drivers all the time, so they know if their driver has gone off the track. I’m sure Red Bull knew also. In the […]

I think history is being rewritten here. As if Russell willingly sacrificed his race to help Zhou. The truth is that Russell and Mercedes thought Russell’s race was over and therefore he had no reason not to leave […]
