I've repeatedly said it was wrong to do it, but I do understand why he did it. I'm yet to see you say Lewis was wrong to sit on his butt / not overtake. Once again in your eyes Lewis can do no wrong.Other than you trying to excuse why your do it?
No it's not normal even for F1 hence the penalty and it's damn dangerous.
Are you deliberately deaf? It's normal breaking intensity.
Not under those conditions. You understand the difference between erratic and expected?
So what is considered normal braking for an F1 car?
You tell us?
He wasn't penalized for life threatening braking, he was penalized for breaking the rules.
No need for me to explain.
Because an F1 car is capable of something doesn't mean that under any circumstances it is then appropriate.
Braking to slow down for another driver to pass.
Has anyone disputed that?
You clearly have zero ability to delineate. I'm out. Wake me up when you've grown up.
Definition: "A brake check, also known as a brake test, occurs when a driver deliberately either taps on the brakes several times or slams hard on the pedal when moving in front of another vehicle, with the intention of causing the behind driver to either collide or take evasive action."
Being the overtaker it's absolutely his prerogative. Point me to the rule that says he has to overtake within a certain time frame.
That was what the penalty was for, the rest is moot from a legal sport perspective.
Culpable of what? What rule did he break? Surely you're not saying Lewis was culpable of erratic driving behind Max?
Shouldn't isn't going to cut it rule wise. You need a clear rule if you want to discuss the legality of it. Perhaps Lewis could have been penalised for driving unnecessarily slowly which endangers other drivers - I think that is in the same article as erratic driving - I think they would have done that if someone else had crept up on them suddenly. It's a pity a backmarker wasn't around at the time. Was Lewis aware of Max' intentions - i.e. was it proven? Also, how long did it take for Max to give the position up?
...or just disable DRS for one lap after you are instructed to cede a position would keep it simple IMO.
No, I was agreeing with you
Pretty amazing that he was able to extract such abnormal performance from his car at that moment. If only he was able to brake as hard at other times he'd be unbeatable
