RP commented on the post, Analysis: The four minutes that changed the destiny of the 2021 world championship 1 year, 5 months ago
Yeah, I’ve been thinking the same thing. Masi is incompetent and Sundays mess was his fault. But the “let them race” attitude started before his tenure.
Of course he didn’t seem to help either.

“Once marshals were allowed onto the scene their first job was to clear the debris surrounding the car so others could get through. This ultimately prevented the need for a red flag, and took away one of the […]

Mine too. I decided to watch F1 closely as a distraction from things like politics. But if this is one I’m going to get it is probably time to turn it off.

If incompetence had mass then Masi would have created a black hole today.

Exactly. Mercedes will not get satisfaction. But there is one tiny thing that can be done – kick Mask out.
He shouldn’t be near a formula 1 track again unless he’s wearing a dunce cap and cleaning the porta […]

RP commented on the post, Verstappen's Abu Dhabi win and title thrown in doubt as Mercedes lodge two protests 1 year, 5 months ago
And consider how perfect the red flag event would have been. Hamilton and Verstappen both on fresh soft tires Verstappen behind with the advantage of a crash favoring him. It would have been amazing.
But […]

Right they had two legitimate options.
They could have brought out a red flag. That would have allowed them to clear the crash and resume racing.
They could have finished the race under safety car. It would […]

RP commented on the post, Jeddah part two? Why Hamilton feels confident despite missing pole for title-decider 1 year, 5 months ago
It doesn’t make much sense. I think they want to deniability.
Softs-hard seems to be a sub-optimal strategy. But it is attractive to Red Bull because close racing favors Verstappen. He has […]

RP commented on the post, Hamilton says he's "in a good position" despite Verstappen taking pole 1 year, 5 months ago
Red Bull realize “close racing” benefits them. So they have picked the strategy that will force Mercedes to race them.
I think in almost any scenario now Hamilton has to pass Verstappen. The […]

RP commented on the post, Hamilton says he's "in a good position" despite Verstappen taking pole 1 year, 5 months ago
The only position Hamilton wanted to be in was on pole with Verstappen substantially behind.
I think Red Bull qualified on the soft tire because they know Hamilton can’t race Verstappen effectively since a […]

RP commented on the post, Will F1's stewards face the toughest call of all? Five Abu Dhabi GP talking points 1 year, 5 months ago
If they are close then Verstappen has the edge. Simply because a collision favors him.
The stewarding this year has established you can run your rivals off the track as long as you don’t actually crash. This […]

I mostly agree with our anonymous commenter. But in the context of the championship battle penalties haven’t been great enough to discourage Silverston-like contact. If Verstappen is anywhere near […]

It would be nice if verstappen’s driving made him a struggler.
But I think one of his exceptional talents is stretching the rules. Somehow he leaves just enough doubt, just enough room, or brakes […]

How about closing pit entry until they’ve decided whether a red flag is necessary?That way the decision applies before anyone pits, removing the possibility the stewards decision will be […]

Correction: I think it was the third restart where Verstappen forced Hamilton wide and into third place.

RP commented on the post, Did Verstappen get the right penalty for "brake test" on Hamilton? 1 year, 5 months ago
I think the penalty for the collision, and the penalty for the first lap incident were far too lenient.
The FIA have created a situation where penalties are not deterrent enough. See Silverston and […]

RP commented on the post, Hamilton grabs Jeddah pole position as Verstappen crashes on final lap 1 year, 5 months ago
A three-place grid penalty would drop him behind Perez , Gasley and LeClerc. Only the Ferrari will slow him down, so they can probably take the gearbox without too much worry.
