Just accept that you're wrong and go knight for someone else, or just let it go. Your vicarious butthurt is tedious.

Fyi, Im only laughing at you because Bucky said he didn't like drivers pushing each other off the track and getting away with it. Which I agree and get, and only take exception because of the great racing we saw.


Your exception is "But Lewis did it tooooooooooooooo"

Which is just funny.

Typical flat bill fan.

I'd be pleased as punch if Max and Ham took each other out in the first corner of each remaining race.

You're really lost there Ace.

I was taking exception with how Max was holding Mick back.

I don't give a damn if Max and Ham kill each other.

I get where you are at. I really wonder if stewards are sitting on their hat for the entertainment value now.

I posted during the race that I thought Segio would get a penalty or two, was surprised they didn't investigate it further.

I'd honestly like to hear why, because it seemed like he pushed Leclerc and Hamilton wide. And Max definitely pushed SchuJu wide. Which goes against the clarification they sent out this year...to prevent confusion.

Mick not backing down from Max was awesome stuff. Impressed me as well.

I get annoyed with Vettel, however I respect how he has stepped into a mentor role for Mick. It was cool seeing him supporting Mick in the after race interview.

It was definitely an exciting race and a bunch of penalties would be a bit of a downer.

The problem is when FIA says one thing then does another. The drivers don't know what the limits are anymore. If Mick did the same move to Max, or doesn't lift in the last corner allowing Max to dump himself, would he be penalized? He doesn't know so backed out.

*I doubt his dad would have lifted there. Even wrecking he would have slid across the line.

Seb is a difficult one. I love the fact he took Mansell's Williams out for a few laps. I hate that he was pushing the fact it was running some "carbon neutral" fuel.

And yes, the post race interview was great. You could tell he was genuinely happy for Mick. Mick's name is a curse and a blessing. His dad being there would probably be a huge help, so Seb stepping in as he can, while not the same, is probably a big help to young Schu. His dad being essentially a vegetable has to be incredibly difficult.

Two more views of the Zhou crash. That catch fence is incredible.

fricking incredible…. The roll and bounce was perfect to get over the tires and into the fence. Had that bounce been a little sooner, you have to wonder if a second bounce off of the top of the tires wouldn’t have occurred and into the crowd. Scary shite.

There's nothing you can do when it happens that unexpectedly. It looked like he was going to hit the barrier, not flip over it and until the car got really close it seemed difficult to realize just how much energy it still had when sliding upside down.

I remember being a kid sitting close to the track at Talladega when a big piece of metal flew off a car during a bad wreck and kept going up and up until it was just caught by the top of the catch fence.

Afterwards you're like, holy shite that was really close to being bad news.

If F1 Circuits were all designed to allow for more racing like we saw yesterday the sport would explode even more than it is already.

I actually fell asleep during Monoco and Canadian GP , they were equivalent of paint drying.

The British was an adrenaline rush from start to finish!

Congrats to Haas and 2 of my favorite drivers for finishing in the points!

TBF, like a ground ball to short stop, it took a bad bounce at the last second.

Back to this picture. Is the roll bar no longer a structural part of the car? Notice that it is long gone in this shot:

It appears the FIA is pretty concerned about what happened to the roll hoop and an investigation will be centered on what happened.

Some talk was that the hoop took the initial impact and worked as designed, but a secondary impact removed it. Also, Alfa uses a "blade" design for a hoop that has been questioned before. One part of the concern is that the blade could dig in and flip the car if the ground was soft.

Could have some ramifications for car design in the future.

This is the pic floating around of what Zhou did to the track.
