I actually enjoyed this race. Seeing drivers having to push for overtakes and having overtaking being more precious made it more of a classic-style race, although I understand in this current era of constant […]

Yes, this is only thing that makes it baffling, and the only argument to make. Otherwise, it doesn’t change anything.

The only argument is that not all cars were allowed to overtake, which is baffling, however letting lapped cars overtake IS the standard procedure. There is no reason to NOT let them overtake unless it’s unsafe to […]

Lapped cars are allowed to overtake is the standard procedure. Yes, it was lucky for Max, but Lewis has also been lucky at other races.
This race really wasn’t controversial. Safety car came out because it had […]

This race epitomises everything I hate about formula one.
Awful country to host a race, awful track for a race, completely unsporting and shocking driving by the drivers, unnecessary stoppages and VSC’s, r […]

A very difficult, heart-breaking 9/10 for me. A brilliant tragedy.
Motorsport can be so unforgiving, but like Massa said in 2008 – that’s racing.

When I say that I don’t blame Hamilton, I meant that I don’t blame him for the situation; the fact he won the race and was given a soft penalty. That one is on the stewards.
I do, however, […]

No. That’s ridiculous. A drive-through at a minimum, otherwise a 10 second stop/go penalty. That way, Hamilton would’ve had to serve this penalty within 3 laps, would’ve likely come out either last, or at least, […]

Or it could calculate the exact number of people who just want fair racing and fair penalty decisions?

Verstappen gave Hamilton enough space. Plenty of space. Hamilton recklessly clipped him through the corner. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to see that, that is obvious.
Can we stop with this completely […]Owen Smart commented on the post, Rate the race: 2021 British Grand Prix 10 months ago
So. Punting your main rival off the track, passing it off as a ‘first lap racing incident’, get away with a soft penalty, and because you’re in a Mercedes, you win the race, gaining points on said rival.
I […]

Safety in Formula One is a great thing and I don’t think anyone here can deny that the progression it has made and the standards of which are set around safety are commendable.
However, there’s a point whe […]

@justrhysism You are correct in what you say about the equal opportunity bit. In fact, it’s rather difficult for me to prove that, not because it doesn’t exist, but there isn’t a real conclusive way of doing it. […]

@spoutnik The purity of the sport comes with the skill of the drivers, which is what I care about. Gender doesn’t play a part in it at all, so I’m not sure why you’ve said that.
I’ve seen many people make […]Owen Smart commented on the post, Improving opportunities for women a "priority" for F1 – Carey 3 years, 2 months ago
