it is actually quite funny how my F1 friends and I (different fans, even some MERC fans) have all started watching the F1TV feed instead of Sky due to all the biased and whiny commentary. While Sky is moaning and discussing FIA politics (it took them half a year to stop mentioning Abu Dhabi 2021), F1TV is giving you a close-up on the new wing flap/clip AMR is running and explaining how they're just testing something for 2023.

Make up your own mind on what content you want to feed your brain with.

F1TV has been pretty good this year. I did feel that this race they tried to make the race seem like it was going to end exciting (saying HAM was catching VER when he was actually losing time, and that it'll be near impossible to finish on the yellows and VER would have to pit). But I guess you have to do or say something to keep people hopeful it won't end as boring as it was.

I was hoping for Latifi to do his thing so that the front four could all go on softs or mediums. That would've made the race more interesting.
 
I actually enjoyed the race from a strategy/thinking point of view. Will the yellows fall off and the hards come into it or have RB pulled a blinder again?

Yes, there wasn't much track action and the SUPER marshalls cleared Alonso's car super quickly to avoid a safety car and the excitement that would have come with a restart, but ya, no regrets. On 5hrs of sleep today and will be early to bed tonight to recharge.

Whatever Hannah's salary is, I hope cost cap allows RB to double it
 
Saw this on a red bull Facebook group this morning and decided to troll them a bit.

First time you've admitted being a troll. Congratulations. Acceptance is the first step towards recovery.

Yeah, now waiting for you. I've got a lot of extra time in the morning suddenly. And looking at that whole page they fully deserve it. Or don't you agree? Quite ironic that you don't seem to have an issue with the inference in that post, unsurprising though.

Nothing about favoritism. They are just playing some entertainment game.

Perez's Safety Car penalty and the loose front spoiler are just another example of them not applying the rule equally


The moment I lost all respect for RBR was when the issue of cost cap was brought up and CH talks about catering and wages as if that was the reason.

There's something about being at the top that tends to turn these teams.

The FIA said that WAS the reason after investigating it. If you have any other proof then please share. Otherwise it's simply personal belief.
Also Ferrari calling out RBR was disingenuous considering what they did to secure a secret deal with the FIA after the fiasco with Vettel's engine in 2019.

Everyone had that same expenses though, so how did the others do it all within the limit? Unless the other teams were dishonest in their reports, doubt that though as Horner would have made sure to bring that out.
 
Has anyone checked in with Damon Hill lately? :p

Who knows. Maybe they made platters to send down the pitlane in the hopes of fattening up the other drivers to make their cars heavier.
Either way, those are the results of the investigation and everyone else is either butthurt (The Team LH "fans" who joined Twitter in 2021!) or have a personal opinion within unverifiable information.
I am not an RBR or Merc fan though, so getting that out the way again.

The "butthurt" stems from the fact that it was said an infraction would be dealt with harshly, and this did not happen. Point is that they overspent, and at the end they could say it was catering but maybe the others spent the same on catering, and less on their cars. This might just lead to more teams overspending because it's clear that if you overspend slightly you can get away with a slap on the wrist,

Better now would be to scrap the cost cap.

All that means is that it was allocated to catering. Unless you have the slips and witness how can you show otherwise. But then I suppose you have never got an expense past the Tax Man by listing it as Entertainment.

A budget is a budget, over spend on development and allocate it to catering. Within Reason no one will notice.
So any overspend, be it sandwiches or Carbon Fiber, still gives them a financial and, therefore, a speed advantage.

And the fact that CH is going down that road says they knew well about it. 13 errors is not insignificant and you can be sure they got there with some creative accounting so who knows what it looked like to start with.
Lol they thought they could exclude expenditure on all sorts.

Did it ever occur to you that that MB was not the only effected party?

All teams, but more importantly F1 as a sport, have suffered as a result of this fiasco.

So please, stop this stupid MAX vs HAM argument every time and look at the larger Picture of what FoM, the FIA and DTS are doing to our sport, no mater if you are a HAAS or a McLaren fan.
