Formula 1 Discussion - And favourite driver?

Verstappen complete right rear brake failure. Jahmilton engine dies. Russell bins it on the last lap. Ferrari 1-2 with Sainz winning. And Haas gets fucking double points.

God damn Australia always brings the goodies to an otherwise boring F1 season.

I am very surprised that the race wasn't immediately red flagged in the wake of Russell's accident, given that the car was on its side in the dead centre of the track. Very easy to clip and send it spinning.

When it's the last lap and the track isn't blocked completely, VSC makes perfect sense. That way, the race gets to be packaged in such a manner that there will be no controversies about anything or any restart nonsense.

He could also had gone to be the woke version of Piquet, just because he would never be associated with Piquet, who was always a provocative conservative since the 1980s.

Oh boy, I'm scared to imagine that. Rumor has it he was actually more veered to the right, though. His family did donate to the Bolsonaro campaigns, which caused a bit of ire in the local fanbase who were speculating whether Ayrton himself would have gone either woke or chud.

Despite being rather introverted and possibly autistic, he also somewhat basked in the media coverage over him, complete with doing a fair share of TV ads. I'd imagine he would be a bit more image-conscious and would not associate himself with controversial figures, especially in the politics spectre.

I like Piquet, but I do agree he can get unnecessarily abrasive once in a while. Still, that bullshit litigation thrown against him over him refering to Blooies as neguinho was too much. Especially considering it wasn't even thrown by Hamilton himself, it was a grifting NGO, but I repeat myself.

They decided to blame Alonso, and hand him 20 seconds in lieu of a drive through, for Russell doing his tryhard bin it at the end again. Even though they didnt have any data to show it wasn't a legitimate defence.

Such utter bullshit that I hope Aston can successfully appeal it and then take a copy of the appeal outcome and sove it up every steward involved in this retard decision's ass.

You can literally drive another car off the track or smack them into a wall and get 5 seconds, but lift off early to get a better exit when being chased down by a car with DRS is apparently a drive through.

So defensive driving is now against the rules because George brakes at his markers instead of watching what the cars ahead of him are doing.

Everyone will have their own opinion on it. Alonso had throttle problems BUT he did brake early and because russels a tard, he paniced and put it in the wall. As is typical with the british FAG, it's always someone else's fault.

Also 20 seconds is ludicrous, did it push him down the grid?, it pushed him from 6th to 8th. Needs to be appealed ASAP.

Because then you can accelerate out of the corner earlier. They were going onto a straight where Russell would have had DRS on the final lap of the GP. Seems like strategic defensive driving to me.

Not really, he brakes, gets on the throttle and brakes again before turning in. The video I linked above has all the telemetry.
It was probably a bit more aggressive than he meant to be but it is what it is. When it happened I was certain it was just george being george and blaming everyone but himself but I think he's right this time.
Penalty is still a bit harsh mind, 10s would have been more apt.
