Jim Sharpe commented on the post, Hamilton was "robbed" of championship win by F1 race director Masi – Wolff 1 year, 3 months ago
+1. Lots of TW hate here attacking him for telling it like it is. CH would have done the same or worse.
Unless Masi goes and other big changes are implemented then we can look forward to more seasons like […]

+1 IMO awarding the win and points for the Spa non-race was just as bad as the “manipulated” ending of the final event. I can’t really call it a race either since the result was artificially created.

Seems reasonable except even the countback result is tainted by awarding the “win” for the Spa non-race. IMO this whole season has as many *’s as legitimate racing moments.

The entire [non-race] at Spa was done under the safety car. There seems to be so much room for interpretation of the rules that it’s not clear to me what a race is actually supposed to look like anymore. Maybe […]

+1000! And if it had been simply cancelled with no points awarded IMO the chances of Max torpedoing, ah sorry, “late braking”, Lewis in the final race would have gone way down and we might have had an actual race […]

Jim Sharpe commented on the post, How the drivers and teams' titles will be decided in Abu Dhabi 1 year, 3 months ago
+1 After Brazil I have zero confidence in the FIA doing anything. Max can totally torpedo Lewis by “late braking”, taking them both out and they will claim no investigation necessary. That way Max can “win” the […]

I would have hoped for this to be the case, however there are rules against what Max did in Brazil and look how that turned out. The lack of FIA rule consistency and other weirdness like the Spa non-race that […]

Jim Sharpe commented on the post, Verstappen, Bottas and Sainz could face grid penalties over yellow flag incidents 1 year, 4 months ago
Well maybe not “never”, but by giving him something occasionally for perhaps 1 in 10 of his violations helps the VER fanboys and stewards mount a defense that they aren’t biased.

Jim Sharpe commented on the post, Verstappen, Bottas and Sainz could face grid penalties over yellow flag incidents 1 year, 4 months ago
There absolutely was an “incident” in Brazil. How else do you explain the two lead cars that far off the track at the same time on the same corner? The fact that the stewards chose to ignore it is a related but […]

I don’t follow this logic. THIS time there was [sufficient] video evidence and they didn’t “punish it immediately”. […]

Sorry, I’m not seeing it. Just another race where RB/Ver walked away with an easy win. Not much of a “battle”.

Jim Sharpe commented on the post, 2021 Mexico City Grand Prix race result 1 year, 4 months ago
The counterpoint would be that RB has also been winning at “Mercedes tracks”. Whether that’s mostly because RB was actually better or Merc dropped the ball is another topic. The only way Max won’t win the WDC […]

Jim Sharpe commented on the post, No way to beat "far superior" Red Bulls in Mexico – Hamilton 1 year, 4 months ago
So why do people say the races are boring when MB/Ham was winning most of the time but when Max is basically doing the same thing it’s somehow the best season ever? Yawn, just another RB/Ver easy win. No point in watching.

Jim Sharpe commented on the post, Verstappen wary Mercedes have "stepped it up" despite taking points lead 1 year, 5 months ago
If max ends up winning hopefully it’s by more than 5 points after that horrible “non-race” at Spa which IMO should not have been run and no points awarded.
