on Women's Corner ☕

One thing we have to consider regarding a potential second Ferrari driver is the physical height difference compared to Alonso.

If we actually brought Kubica on board, we'd be stuck trying to develop two different cars at the same time.

I think it's actually the opposite. Kubica and Alonso drive very similarly. A car that works for one would likely work for the other. I don't see a slight height difference being much of an issue.

You can't just erase a decade and a half of pure dominance. If someone wants to drive against him, let them try. All this noise from people trying to get even through snarky comments because of the inferiority complexes he spent his career building? It doesn't touch him. If anything, it’s just more proof of his impact.

Prestić made a hell of a move on the Plain 🤣

Wait, you’ve got insider info too? 😁
Mostly, I think they've been letting drivers off easy lately because they realized they were being inconsistent. They clearly don't even know how to follow their own rulebook. But if they keep this up, they're just going to sink even deeper into the mess. Eventually, someone's going to demand a penalty based on a precedent that doesn't exist, and then everything will just fall apart. Total chaos.

Joshua Newman2 said:Look, all this talk about penalties is nonsense. Especially that TBFD take claiming Alonso should’ve been disqualified for a start error—as if he gets a free pass just because he needs to vent some frustration over Red Bull's pathetic performance. 😁

I’m not exactly a Hamilton fanboy either, but handing out time penalties for that tight pit lane squeeze would be a joke. If they want to hit him with a fine, fine. If they wanted to punish him on the spot, they could have slapped him with a drive-through. But trying to penalize him after the fact is just ridiculous.

They let those other overtakes slide last time, maybe they shouldn't have. But you can't just go back and penalize him now just to balance the scales.

And what about pushing Webber off the track? Or overtaking before the start line when the SC came in?

And as for him getting away with it in the last race, tell that story to someone who cares. That was just a warning, nothing more, and that’s exactly what happened. Period. All this nonsense Barrichello and the rest of them are pushing in the media is just old news that F1 can't seem to wash off.🤣 🤣

A warning? Sure. More like he should have been penalized. But go ahead, keep whining about injustice.😁
They're coddling Hamilton more than anyone else in history. This season, they're treating him like royalty, protecting him like he's some precious prize Bernie is handing out just to keep everyone happy.

Arthur Doyle70 said:At this point, another fine would just be more incompetence from the FIA.☕

Hamilton is just begging for a penalty at this point. He managed to dodge one during the last race, but if the stewards let him slide again this time, I’m done. If that happens, I guess his fans will go right back to whining about how everything is "unfair," right? 🤣

Let's look past the ego trips most people here are having and just look at the facts. He lost three or four spots after the safety car on the straight. Every other overtake happened either on the straight or because someone else had significantly more top-end speed there. It wasn't a mystery; it was obvious.

What, Keke didn't show up? While they're busy babysitting, I'm sure the wives are having a blast 😁

Morgan Murphy7 said:that penalty doesn't apply when entering the pits, only when exiting back onto the track.👍

Fine, if that's how it works, they need to fix the rulebook. If this keeps happening during pit entries under a Safety Car, we're going to see way too many SC periods just because of debris at the pit entry. Or what if a car gets stuck there...

And one more thing they should penalize is the lead driver slowing down the pack right as the Safety Car pulls in. It's pure idiocy.

Look, regarding why Alonso should have been penalized: he overtook Felipe Massa while entering the pits. We all know there are pit lane lines you aren't supposed to cross when entering or exiting. I've seen plenty of drivers get dinged for cutting those lines when they pull out onto the track too early. Alonso did the exact same thing coming into the pits—he wasn't even staying within the lines. It’s a safety rule for a reason, and he should've been penalized for it.

Yeah, it wasn't intentional. He just buckled under the pressure of the launch because, let’s face it, he’s clearly got the worst reaction time out of everyone on the grid.

Michael Lee4 said:Looking at the replay of Vettel and Hamilton through the pits... they're basically repeating what happened in '16. Hamilton overtook him on the entry, just like when Alonso did it to Massa, but then on the exit, Vettel shoved Hamilton wide, off the track. They should both get penalized.

No way. Vettel was ahead of Hamilton and stayed within his lines. Hamilton didn't.
No penalties needed for that mess.

Kudos to Button; that was a masterclass. Rosberg and Kubica deserve props too. Alonso drove a hell of a race, but he completely blew it with that desperate move—it’s going to haunt him when it matters most. Hamilton was fantastic again, though he's likely looking at a penalty for what he did to Webber. Vettel was mediocre, and both Webber and Schumacher were just underwhelming. Especially Schumacher—what kind of setup is he running? Everyone on the straight was slicing past him like he was towing a semi-truck. Petrov 👍
And honestly, Alonso's jump start wasn't a surprise. He usually starts like an amateur, so him trying to cheat his way ahead felt perfectly in line with his character.

I think he just needs some time to find his rhythm. People are already jumping to conclusions and calling him a disappointment, but let's look at the facts: he was stuck right behind Rosberg in the first race, and the last two were just bad luck. He isn't slow by any stretch. Given his age and that three-year gap, I'd say things are looking pretty decent so far.

Hey, you think Alonso struggles when it starts raining?

I’m betting Massa holds onto his lead in the standings after this one. I also expect someone from a team that hasn't hit the winner's circle yet to take the trophy.

Look, there are tons of movies with this exact premise out there. I’m a fan of the genre, so I went in expecting something actually engaging, on par with the others I've seen. Honestly? I was disappointed. The plot is dull and lacks any real momentum. Just when things should be ramping up, it gets sluggish. It feels more like a lullaby than a thriller. I didn't even finish it—stopped about two-thirds of the way through.

One of those rare films I couldn't bring myself to finish, no matter how hard I tried. 👎
