At first, The race took place in more dangerous conditions than this year’s Belgian GP in Japan’s typhoon season. Whiting by his own admission said he was aware of the threat and discussed the […]

@jackisthestig This is so on point it hurts.

@jackisthestig

how could you alter the result?

See Belgium 2008.

@jackisthestig

Even if that wasn’t true, the advantage of low fuel is so big that someone else would get the fastest lap anyway, unless they crash extremely close to the end of the race.

@jackisthestig Well the facts show it’s real

@jackisthestig Bottas destroyed Massa, even though Smedly constantly kept helping Massa with better strategy and messed up multiple races (podiums) for Bottas

@jackisthestig However, the drivers are instructed to take several other instructions as being stricter than double-waved yellow flags by the FIA and the regulations (even the International Sporting Code requires […]

@jackisthestig Apparently none of them have heard of putting on a brave face (especially families that brought children to the race and were trying to keep them calm ahead of the long journey home).

@jackisthestig It would not have influenced Liberty’s obligations to the track, so the track would have been on its own paying any such refund.

The FIA’s situation was more complicated, but put it like this: it […]

@jackisthestig Any marshal who knows their flags will tell you that it is actually the red flag that is the strictest one for driver warnings. That is the only flag which means “race-stopping accident, prepare for […]

@jackisthestig – Yeah I totally agree. For me, at the very least, for an sport to deserve a place in the Olympics, all of the most talented people in that sport should be desperate to compete in it and I can’t see […]

@jackisthestig But doesn’t it take time for a new Olympic sport to grow in significance? For example, the professional tennis players didn’t really take Olympic tennis seriously at first, but it has grown in […]

I agree with you there @jackisthestig. The “fun” of the Olymics is more in getting to see what quirky/lovely/funny sports exist at all with athletes who only get niche attention for much of the time outside that […]

@jackisthestig Just Hamilton fans then?

@jackisthestig True, the speed differential was huge. It seems this year there was a headwind on the start/finish straight, which made DRS much more powerful. Last year, there was a tailwind, which resulted in […]

@jackisthestig I think we (the UK) can easily do without either.

@jackisthestig It is a mess, but it doesn’t need to be. The track limits are clearly demarked by these nice white lines. Any driver avoidably putting all four wheels outside the white lines (kerb or not) should […]

@jackisthestig the right hand turns are off-putting plus there are no competition cautions

Absolutely @jackisthestig

@jackisthestig
I honestly can’t understand this whole Imola-mania.
It’s an old style track, too narrow for modern day standards, which failed to provide a decent spectacle.
THe fact it’s historical doesn’t […]
