Max's 2019 move lmao, came with receipts

Great analysis.

After the crash, Max drove his car back to the pits shedding carbon and rubber around the circuit. Wasn't it very recently that a 3 place grid penalty next race was handed out for doing the same thing?

Perez was a clear retirement, there was no repair possible. The rear wing assembly could have fallen off. The only reason he brought the car back is the team told him to to avoid the possibility of a safety car.

As far as I know, Max only maybe had slight damage from the contact, plus the loose tire, drivers regularly drive back to the pits in this configuration. They don't usually keep racing/defending with a flat tire though.

Norris was shedding even more though!

They could have both made it back safely if they went slower, but good luck getting them to do that after that fight.

Are you truly suggesting that people should retire from now on if they have a punctureΒΏ?

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

What I'm suggesting is there is no constancy in the way the FIA determines their own rules.

I think the first move was fine as it's a single move into the corner. At least I've seen that before.

The final one though, max at fault 100%. Even tried to run him off afterwards.

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. Slight movement under braking especially when that movement is towards the apex of the corner has been done for years. Bad but still has precedence.

[–] urquell@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Yep, agreed.

The fact it's a British driver/team and the British GP is this week just adds shit for everyone to stir up. I'm expecting the circus to even more unbearable for the next few weeks.

Loving the fact we have competition at the front though!
