Sham

I’m hopeful of changes that will reinvigorate my love for the sport. But frankly, not expecting much.

I’ve not watched anything since Brazil. For the sake of my family’s eardrums, I’m glad I didn’t see Abu Dhabi. First time I’ve not seen televised races since the very early 80s. I followed them on the radio […]

It’s OK, the FIA wish it – the race director and stewards will ensure that it happens.

Despite the closeness of the championship, I am left feeling that the 2021 competition was the least sporting I have witnessed – and I’ve witnessed more than 40 seasons.

And that’s why, I’m out.

While I completely, and I mean completely, disagree with any hint that there was racism from the FIA or Max, Twitter is full of hate and bile.
I do think that there was an inclination to favour Max all season – […]

Please ask Santa for a new sarcasm detector.

Imagine being elected to lead this shower of [redacted].

Just imagine for one second, that your first job is to oversee your organisations punishment of Lewis Hamilton after last weekends “sporting” event. […]

Indeed – when are rules not rules, only when the FIA is ruling on something the FIA has done to breach them.
Even when the FIA representative themselves stated in public that the 7 WDC record should be left as […]

I’m sure Ecclestone knows where to place his opinion.

I sincerely hope you’re wrong. All the fans I’ve grown up with are knowledgeable, intelligent and only interested in the sporting spectacle.
It’s this kind of falsification that they hate.

If we’re the 0.0001% […]

That’s not inconsistent, that would be 100% within the regulation as written.

I hope you’re right. One thing is for sure – if he does come back and the car is competitive, he will be nigh on unbeatable.

In his position, would you go?

I do wonder if the FIA have any idea of the harm they have done to this sport by their actions – throughout 2021, but Brazil and Abu Dhabi in particular.

It’s devastating to the integrity of the sport.

Disappointing

Except he didn’t win it on track, he was nowhere near winning it in track until the FIA intervention.

I want them to appeal. I would like the result changed, as the one that stands at present is wrong, from a sporting standpoint.
However, even if the result doesn’t change, I want Masi out and F1 to become a fair […]

Oh, and if the FIA is found to have conspired with Red Bull, then Red Bull can be DSQ from the championship.

I’m not saying they did, but it’s one of the theories being bandied about.

No one is asking it to break any rules – simply undo its own breaking of them.

Which it can do, right up until the appeal is heard and then judgment is passed on it.

The race results are provisional until […]

They have all the payback they need from their investment and the team is worth a metric shedload.
In their situation, yes – I’d walk.

But I doubt they will.
