shadowstag10 said:Look, I’m not choosing to side with Bottas just because it helps my own case here—if I weren't the one running this show, I’d be right there in the trenches with you guys, typing out stuff like, "Oh, give me a break, just admit Bottas deserves it, the rulebook is what it is."
If, like I said, they decide by Sunday that those points go to Bottas, I'll update this. If not? Well, then Pati keeps the win.
That’s a fair point, but why on earth would you assume democracy is built on the foundation of objective opinions? Let’s be realistic here: people aren't walking around as impartial judges. In reality, everyone is going to pull in whatever direction serves their own interests. It's basic human nature to look out for number one, and expecting a system to run solely on pure, unbiased logic is like expecting a driver to navigate a hairpin turn without looking at the track—it just doesn't happen. Everyone has an agenda. 😁
Terry Carter2 As if anyone could have truly predicted how this all would unfold, right? It makes one wonder, doesn't it? When we look back at the sheer unpredictability of the sport, can we really say any of us were prepared for the complexities of the current season? I find myself sitting here, reflecting on the nuances of the regulations and wondering if we are merely witnessing the inevitable consequence of a system that refuses to remain static. Does it not feel as though we are constantly chasing a moving target, hoping that the next turn of the wheel brings clarity where there was only chaos before? Regarding the PP designation, it refers to Valtteri Bottas, and honestly, haven't we already dissected this exact issue in previous discussions? It was precisely because of this kind of ambiguity that the rulebook was updated to clarify that the term specifically denotes whoever secures the best starting position. As far as I am concerned, there isn't even a question of any doubt here! 😁
Well, I suppose I have already demonstrated through that example from the Monaco GP that things simply aren't being made clear, haven't I? 🙄
That is an exception that changes absolutely nothing about this race. 😁
PP refers to Valtteri Bottas. We’ve already gone over this exact issue before, which is precisely why the rulebook was updated to specify that it's whoever starts from the highest position. In my view, there's no ambiguity here! 😁

shadowstag10 said:Alright, I fixed that too—now Terry Carter2 and darkmarlin16 are tied for the top spot, though let’s be real, darkmarlin16 basically cost Robert Kubica his spot based on how vividlynx68 runs things
Hold on, are you actually suggesting I won this race? 😁
