Apparently ‘no further action’ ”managed to avoid a post-session penalty after an investigation over his starting position on the grid, with the stewards eventually deciding to take no further action.”...

The same things happens in football - breach the FFP regulations but still get promoted.

It is a complete nonsense when Mercedes can pay their top driver $30 million more as a base salary in 2021 than Red Bull paid their’s without any affect on the financial cap. If driver costs were included then the smaller teams would have a better chance of competing with the big 3. Maybe...

I’ve often posted that it is about the team as a whole not just any individual part of that team. The driver is just as important part of that team as are the pit crew, strategists, research and development, manufacturing etc. Taking the driver’s wages out of consideration for the financial...

That’s the difference between us - I don’t defend unwarranted criticism of LH, MV nor CH. Each of those individuals have from time to time attracted my opprobrium and at other times my admiration.

I see, so it’s just the level of bias against LH that concerns you, a similar level against any other driver is fine - ok, I’ve got it.

The crazy thing about the FIA F1 financial cap is that it ignores one of the most expensive team elements - driver’s salaries. LH salary this year is £12m more than that of MV - virtually double that amount in 2021. That would be akin to FFP regulations that ignored player’s wages!

Blimey, if you are going to “discount every post” made by someone who has shown a bias against any driver then you will be ignoring a lot of posts - - - or does only bias against LH count?

“give Max a title” :wozza:

Nonsense - GR made the right call and came in for tyres, LH had exactly the same opportunity but didn’t take it.

Which goes to show that it’s not any individual that determines winners in F1 but the whole team. Hamilton is a great driver, as is Verstappen, Leclerc, Alonso, Vettel etc. None of them can win a race however without the expertise of a team to design a fast, reliable car and make the optimum...

I would dispute that - Team Red Bull is head and shoulders above the rest.

Good result for Lando - best of the rest - good race all round except for Ferrari.

Hardly whinging!

100% agree with this. Change the drivers around in the cars and you wouldn’t end with the same cars winning. F1 drivers are all different with varying levels of skill, courage, and fitness. It is the combination of car and driver that determines which team wins. Unfortunately the drivers...

‘Find me another”, seems to be a standard response. I’d never claim that LH has only won the number of championships because he had the best cars - equally it is difficult to claim that he would have won them had he not been driving one of the best cars on the grid. F1 is not all about the...

I think the above quote belies that.

No need to say any more, is there? Q.E.D.

And the last post where you supported MV in any incident and said LH was in the wrong ???

Maybe you can explain the difference between MB and IG - who will both “support” their driver in any controversial incident and never have a good thing to say about the other.
