RIP.
Really quite incredible to have only 3 points finished with 2 of them wins.

I didn’t say they do. But promotional images, particularly of the 2 cars next to each other, would most likely read as 1488 for anybody who already knows the association of those numbers. Same if you had 2 cars […]

So you genuinely think a hypothetical situation of a team hiring drivers with logos that combined spell Nazi wouldn’t lead to ridicule and therefore embarrassment?
I wondered if some people might think the […]

Because a change of logo would be a fairly minor way to avoid embarrassment for themselves and sponsors down the line. Much like asking a driver to pick a different number so that their promotional material […]

It’s because the other car is 14 and 1488 is a neo Nazi symbol, not just 88. It would be like having one driver with the initials and a logo of a stylised NA and then hiring a driver with ZI initials. You might […]

If you read this as deciding a 2 digit number has Nazi connotations, it sounds a bit silly, and that it would actually enforce any association.
But it sounds like the issue really is that the team were due to […]

I think you mean Snaefell mountain rather than Scafell.

Exactly. The drop off makes no sense. I think I calculated that Herta would have enough points if Indy paid out the same ratio to F3 for all positions.

Masi should have wasted a lap just so Hamilton could finish first behind the SC.
Well yes, as that’s procedure. Or, as the comment you replied to states, if finishing under green flag is that important, don’t […] -

the opinion of anyone in the back of the grid is not the opinions that we really listen to
Ignoring the idiocy if that argument, I feel like him if all people should probably notice that 11th isn’t the back. It’s […] -

Bahrain was also notable, not least because Verstappen compromised his own line through the final corner as a result.

This was a really long comment just to have a go at somebody who accidentally said continent instead of country. Totally normal stuff.

And that means drivers already past the incident will complete their lap and then have to drive past the incident on their in lap…

Utterly unnecessary. ‘Any’ in that context already meant ‘all’. Any comment that disagrees is wrong.

The brake test was the bit at the end of slowing down when he did the brake test, as confirmed by telemetry and the FIA. I don’t think even Marko refuted it. Hope that helps.

Many will consider there to be unfortunately.

matt90 commented on the post, 2021 F1 driver rankings #1: Max Verstappen 1 year, 4 months ago
Running into the back of somebody is the almost inevitable outcome of a brake test, so I’m not sure how you think that is evidence that there wasn’t a brake test.
It’s like saying how can there have been a […]

matt90 commented on the post, 2021 F1 driver rankings #1: Max Verstappen 1 year, 4 months ago
I’m a Hamilton fan who thinks the officiating in Abu Dhabi was a sporting travesty. This is the correct order. Verstappen was the better driver this year, although either would have been ‘deserving’. I just wish […]

matt90 commented on the post, Norris: Race director's lapped cars decision 'was for TV' 1 year, 5 months ago
The regulations say that the safety car should come in the lap after lapped cars have gone through. Had that been followed or even just if all lapped cars had been allowed to pass, there would have been an […]

So he’s admitting that he intentionally didn’t make the corner rather than it being an accident. That seems like an odd choice.
